Ultimately, the parents and Ed Consultants that continued to send their children to the place should hold some blame as well. This was a big money business for the owner, leaders, and Ed consultants. There is no way that I would send my child to a place where I'm footing the bill of 5k per month and not have any direct say so in the education and counseling of my child. The employees that did not agree with the practices got the hell out of dodge. I'm glad that this place has closed but understand that our children today that needs counseling should have places they can attend that will not enhance their issues.

In my few months I was there I never witnessed any student being abused by staff or saw any suicide attempts. I did have a few kids in my peer groups that would cut or bully younger children. Some of the concepts they used in the peer groups was good stuff and some wasn't. The staff I worked with generally cared for the children (Denny, Daryl, Johnny, and several others). The owner and most of the leaders were out for just the money in my opinion. They tried to rule by fear and wanted staff to conduct themselves in such a way that want therapeutic at times. They used this technique call fall out to get information out of the students. Overall I enjoyed my time there especially coaching basketball and working with the peer group. I think that school can be used for a therapeutic or private school. Its a nice site but needs a different owner and direction.

I have info. I researched an inch thick on this place when my grandaughter was sent there by her guardians. I even e-mailed the police dept. in their county, to please investigate this place. I never heard back.The few conversations I was allowed with her, were over a speaker phone. I have letters she had snuck in the mail to me, crying for help. It was a very emotional 2 yrs.as her grandmother. One of the sad things, is they used my grandaughters, money to pay her tuition, which was for her, that she received when her parents were both killed by a drunk driver when she was 1 yr. old.I am so glad, they are being closed, but shake my head at what that school was about. Please write a book, I surely can contribute personal info I compiled those 2 yrs.

Once that is accomplished, the heads should roll... the heads of those that allowed this, of those who told parents to ship their kids to this hellhole, the heads of those at HLA and RCS complicit in the acts, and to top it off, the heads of those who created this sewer to profit from the pain, and agony, and helplessness, of the families involved. May it spark the opening of gates to similar facilities throughout the country, that this may never happen again. A dream perhaps, but a good one.<br /><br />Bravo, Jillie.

I may not believe it until I go there myself and see with my own eyes that it is empty. That's one trip I'll gladly make.<br /><br />If this has actually happened, then Jill Ryan has done what everyone said was impossible 6 years ago. Bucchi has cheated a lot of people, but my guess is the only one he regrets is Ms. Ryan. Hope you did something fun with the money you took from her, Bucch. Enough fun to cover the millions in lost income as Hidden Lake Academy/Ridge Creek School steadly declined in enrollment, and that beautiful property you've lost, along with your lovely home. I hear you're auctioning off your art collection, and tapping those numbered offshore accounts. Comfort is a wonderful thing, Bucch; but freedom is even more wonderful, more essential. It's freedom that you really miss when it's gone, and I think you're about to find that out, pal, in a way you never imagined. I'd be getting in touch with Quirk and Quirk. But oh! They dumped you when you stopped paying them, didn't they. I doubt they could help, anyway.

These parents have no idea the financial devastation they are about to experience... now, not only must they find a new facility to place their children, but find they must also find a way to pay for their placement. <br /><br />The state agencies must be held accountable for this as well. What will happen to they money they've paid out to RCS??? In today's budget crisis there aren't surplus funds lying around to send these children off to another facility. Maybe they'll learn their lesson when they too are in court against this man and his greed.<br /><br />Let's see how Bucci spins this one... he'll probably say it was a couple disgruntled parents or ex-employees and they caused referrals to dry up. Blah, blah, blah. Pathetic. He's had years to make things right, but what has he done? Nothing. Well, okay he's opened a few new bank accounts. <br /><br />Anne Edens might want to prepare for to fight for her license while she's at it... when she takes a break from cutting kids down from trees.<br /><br />Parents: Looks like you have until Friday, if not sooner according to Anne, to get your kids into a new place. Hope you didn't have anything planned this week because your world is about to be turned upside down. Let us know how the Spin Masters try to blame this on everyone else except for those who really deserve the blame. Also curious what your kids had to eat this weekend. Maybe Bucci donned his apron and threw together a couple of PBJs... or maybe they brought back the famous baked potato bar. That was a real hit the last time the food service (allegedly) got cut off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780876072481932881.post-3662785733233990132011-07-17T23:15:12.065-04:002011-07-17T23:15:12.065-04:00Cheers!
