<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Editorial:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hurricane, Utah--Diamond Ranch Academy (DRA) appears entrenched in yet another horrific lawsuit. Parents, still grieving the loss of their son who perished while under DRA's care, are suing the facility. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In September of 2013, a young man took his life by hanging himself (utilizing a 'belt' his parents state was supplied by DRA to a 'suicidal child') over a non-collapsible shower rod (Utah's Department of Human Services cited DRA after the young man's death and DRA installed collapsible shower rods.)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://jilliestake.blogspot.com/2013/11/diamond-ranch-academy-confirmation.html">http://jilliestake.blogspot.com/2013/11/diamond-ranch-academy-confirmation.html</a></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Questions arise: </b></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why was a previously diagnosed suicidal child even<i> considered</i> as an applicant and admitted?</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Admission guidelines? Even some of the most notoriously abusive facilities have stated they do not accept children with former or current suicidal ideations. </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Qualifications of DRA? A contracted-out, adjunct, forensic psychologist with offices in Utah and Nevada? <i>FACT: </i>DRA is <i>NOT</i> a mental health facility, nor are they licensed or qualified as such. </b></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Well-deserved lawsuit? Read DRA's 'amended answer to the complaint,' below and decide for oneself.</b></span><br />
<div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>According to the DRA attorney's 'amended answer to the complaint,' [they]blame the death of this suicidal child (citing his age of 16), on the child himself, his mental health issues, and his parents. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Additionally, DRA attorneys deny in their filing that the child was<i> unsupervised. </i>Who thought this one up? So, logic dictates that if the child <i>was supervised</i>... how in hell did this happen?</b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Case 2:16-cv-00252-RJS-PMW Document 2 Filed 03/29/16 Page 3 of 12</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> GENERAL ALLEGATIONS OF FACT</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />7. DRA is a residential treatment center and therapeutic boarding school in Hurricane, Utah, for troubled youth between the ages of 12 and 18.<br />8. DRA holds itself out as “an industry leader in helping youth realize their potential.” It represents that its students “become their best selves in a structured elite private school environment with a personalized therapeutic approach” and promises that “[t]he challenges you are facing with your child today do not need to limit the possibilities of tomorrow.”<br />9. DRA employs, among others, licensed clinical social workers. DRA’s theme is “Healing Families One Youth at a Time.”<br />10. M.L. was a sixteen-year-old boy who suffered from severe depression and had a history of suicide attempts.<br />11. Before M.L.’s enrollment at DRA, he attempted suicide twice. On one occasion M.L. tried to take his own life by hanging himself by the neck in the shower.<br />12. M.L.’s parents, the --------, were very worried about their son’s safety, not knowing what he was capable of doing in the future. They felt helpless not knowing what they could do to help their son.<br />13. The -------- sought an intervention treatment provider that could effectively care for their son and keep him safe.<br />14. In their search for a provider, the ------- came in contact with DRA.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Case 2:16-cv-00252-RJS-PMW Document 2 Filed 03/29/16 Page 4 of 12</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>15. DRA assured the -------- that if they enrolled M.L. at DRA, DRA would care for M.L. and keep him safe, and that DRA’s program would help him overcome his hardships.<br />16. DRA also assured the -------- that DRA staff were trained to keep and capable of keeping M.L. safe from suicide attempts.<br />17. DRA further assured the -------- that the DRA facility was a safe place for their son.<br />18. In furtherance of keeping M.L. safe, DRA told the -------- that M.L.’s bedroom would be under constant video surveillance.<br />19. DRA also told the -------- that DRA personnel would, at all times, be monitoring the video surveillance images of M.L.’s bedroom.<br />20. Video camera surveillance equipment was present in M.L.’s bedroom during M.L.’s residence at DRA, including the day he committed suicide.<br />21. The DRA Parent Manual states in part: “Our program is proven effective – and we guarantee it – when the program is followed closely and when the parentssupport it completely.”<br />22. The DRA Parent Manual further states: “We recognize how difficult a decision it was to intervene on your child’s behalf. We also recognize how difficult it is toplace the care of you child in the hands of another. <i>Please take comfort in knowing that we take our responsibility very seriously.”</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> Case 2:16-cv-00252-RJS-PMW Document 2 Filed 03/29/16 Page 5 of 12</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>23. On June 23, 2013, relying on DRA’s assurances that M.L. would be properly supervised and kept safe, the -------- enrolled M.L. at DRA, and M.L. moved into the facility.<br />24. On June 23, 2013, the day M.L. was enrolled at DRA, ------- ------- gave DRA a summary of M.L.’s suicide attempts. This summary included an account that M.L. had previously attempted suicide by hanging himself in the shower.<br />25. M.L.’s pre-participation physical evaluation also noted his suicide attempt history.<br />26. DRA knew of M.L.’s need for supervision and treatment.<br />27. On July 18, 2013, DRA took M.L. off of self-harm watch.<br />28. On August 7, 2013, M.L. was psychologically evaluated by C.Y. Roby, Ph.D., NCCE (“Dr. Roby”), at DRA’s request.<br />29. On August 30, 2013, DRA received Dr. Roby’s report.<br />30. Dr. Roby’s report indicated that M.L. was at risk for suicide and/or self-injurious behavior. Dr. Roby strongly recommended that this risk be taken seriously.<br />31. In addition to having Dr. Roby’s report, DRA was in possession of and had read M.L.’s journals containing a drawing of a boy hanging from the neck.<br />32. On September 6, 2013, M.L. attended a football game pep rally in the DRA gym. While there, he was visibly upset and seen crying by another DRA student. When the pep rally concluded, M.L. left the gym unsupervised and unaccounted for. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Case 2:16-cv-00252-RJS-PMW Document 2 Filed 03/29/16 Page 6 of 12</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>33. After the pep rally, at approximately 4:22 p.m., M.L. entered his bedroom unsupervised.<br />34. At approximately 4:36 p.m., M.L. reviewed a suicide note he had written.<br />35. At approximately 4:38 p.m., M.L. entered his bathroom with his suicide note in hand and closed the door. He was clothed and wearing the belt DRA sold to him.<br />36. At approximately 5:01 p.m., while giving prospective clients a tour of the facilities and M.L.’s room, a DRA staff member opened the bathroom door and discovered M.L. hanging by the neck from a non-breakaway shower rod with the belt DRA sold to him.<br />37. When the staff member discovered M.L. and saw him hanging from the shower rod, he closed the bathroom door and ushered the prospective clients away.<br />38. Moments after the first staff member opened and closed the door on M.L., another staff member opened the bathroom door, looked at M.L., closed the door on him again, and walked away.<br />39. M.L. was left hanging from his neck until approximately 5:04 p.m., when DRA staff removed him from the hanging position and then administered CPR.<br />40. Approximately 2 ½ minutes passed between the time M.L. was discovered and the time he was removed from the shower rod.<br />41. Ultimately, M.L. was left unsupervised for a total of 39 minutes.<br />42. Two days later, on September 8, 2013, M.L. died as a result of the injuries he sustained from his September 6, 2013 suicide attempt.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(Negligence/Knowing and Reckless Indifference)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />43. Plaintiffs incorporate the previous paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.<br />44. DRA was acting in loco parentis and had a special legal relationship with M.L.<br />45. DRA had a duty to exercise reasonable care in the treatment and supervision of M.L.<br />46. DRA knew that M.L. had a history of attempted suicide and that M.L.’s suicidal condition should be taken seriously.<br />47. DRA knew that leaving M.L. unsupervised involved an extreme degree of risk, considering the probability and magnitude of the potential harm that such a lack of supervision presented to M.L.’s life and safety.<br />48. Despite DRA’s knowledge of the risks that the lack of supervision of M.L. presented, DRA recklessly allowed M.L. to remain alone and unsupervised for more than thirty minutes, behind a closed door in a bathroom with a non-breakaway shower rod, with a belt to hang himself with.<br />49. DRA breached the duty that it owed to M.L. and the --------, thereby creating a substantial risk of, and in fact causing, serious bodily injury and death to M.L.<br />50. DRA’s breaches of duty included, among other things:<br />a. Failing to provide M.L. with adequate supervision and care;</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Case 2:16-cv-00252-RJS-PMW Document 2 Filed 03/29/16 Page 8 of 12</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>b. Failing to provide and/or follow policies and procedures related to supervision and care of M.L., its suicidal patient, including but not limited to its line-of-sight policy;<br />c. Failing to properly assess, document, and treat M.L.’s suicidal condition;<br />d. Failing to appropriately train staff;<br />e. Failing to install breakaway shower rods and shower heads in<br />M.L.’s bathroom;<br />f. Failing to heed Dr. Roby’s report and take M.L.’s risk of suicide seriously;<br />g. Providing M.L. with the belt he hanged himself with; and<br />h. Not acting immediately when it discovered M.L. but instead putting its public relations ahead of M.L.’s life.<br />51. DRA’s acts and omissions manifested a knowing and reckless indifference toward and a disregard of the rights of others, including M.L. and the --------.<br />52. As a direct and proximate result of DRA’s acts and omissions, Plaintiffs have suffered and will continue to suffer the loss of the relationship with their son, causing them extreme mental and emotional anguish; loss of the care, comfort,<br />companionship, society, guidance, love, affection, association, services and support of their son; and the permanent destruction of their family unit. </b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>53. As a direct and proximate result of DRA’s acts and omissions, M.L. suffered severe physical pain, discomfort, loss of enjoyment of life, and death, and the -------- incurred medical expenses prior to M.L.’s untimely death and have incurred funeral and burial expenses as a result of his death.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF<br />(Breach of Fiduciary Duty)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />54. Plaintiffs incorporate the previous paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.<br />55. DRA owed a fiduciary duty to Plaintiffs and/or their son.<br />56. DRA breached the fiduciary duty it owed to Plaintiffs and/or their son.<br />57. As a direct and proximate result of DRA’s acts and omissions, Plaintiffs have suffered and will continue to suffer the loss of the relationship with their son, causing them extreme mental and emotional anguish; loss of the care, comfort,<br />companionship, society, guidance, love, affection, association, services and support of their son; and the permanent destruction of their family unit.<br />58. As a direct and proximate result of DRA’s acts and omissions, M.L. suffered severe physical pain, discomfort, loss of enjoyment of life, and death, and the -------- incurred medical expenses prior to M.L.’s untimely death and have incurred funeral and burial expenses as a result of his death.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF<br />(Premises Liability)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />59. Plaintiffs incorporate the previous paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Case 2:16-cv-00252-RJS-PMW Document 2 Filed 03/29/16 Page 10 of 12</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>60. M.L. was DRA’s invitee.<br />61. DRA owed M.L. a duty of care to eliminate unreasonably dangerous conditions on its property and to take reasonable measures to ensure a safe physical environment in the DRA facility.<br />62. DRA was aware that the shower rods in the DRA facility were non breakaway types and that the presence of such shower rods presented a dangerous<br />condition to its invitee, M.L.<br />63. Given M.L.’s history of suicide attempts and Dr. Roby’s evaluation, DRA should have expected that M.L. would have encountered and been harmed by, or would fail to protect himself from this dangerous condition of non-breakaway shower rods in the DRA bathrooms.<br />64. Three days after M.L.’s death, on September 11, 2013, the Utah Department of Human Services determined that DRA was in violation of Utah Admin. Code R501-19-7.B.2 for failing to provide a safe physical environment for consumers.<br />This violation was due in part to the presence of permanently affixed shower rods in the DRA facility bathrooms.<br />65. DRA breached its duty to its invitee, M.L., and failed to exercise reasonable care by:<br />a. Failing to prevent or rectify the unreasonably dangerous condition of non-breakaway shower rods on the property, which was a proximate cause of M.L.’s injury and death; and </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>b. Failing to protect its invitee, M.L., from the unsafe condition and hazard of non-breakaway shower rods and shower heads on the property.<br />66. As a direct and proximate result of DRA’s breach of duty, M.L. was subjected to the dangerous conditions on DRA’s property that contributed to M.L.’s<br />injury and death.<br />67. As a direct and proximate result of DRA’s negligence, Plaintiffs have suffered and will continue to suffer the loss of the relationship with their son, causing them extreme mental and emotional anguish; loss of the care, comfort, companionship,<br />society, guidance, love, affection, association, services and support of their son; and thepermanent destruction of their family unit.<br />68. As a direct and proximate result of DRA’s negligence, M.L. suffered severe physical pain, discomfort, loss of enjoyment of life, and death, and the -------- incurred medical expenses prior to his untimely death, and have incurred funeral and<br />burial expenses as a result of his death.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />PRAYER FOR RELIEF</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray for judgment against Defendant, DRA, as follows:</b></span><br />

<b>A PERSPECTIVE</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Sculptors throughout the ages created various depictions of Lady
Justice, (Themis, a goddess in Greek mythology). Whether nude, scantily draped,
or blindfolded, Lady Justice embodies celestial order on Earth. Holding her
infamous scales of justice, she represents the personification of
righteousness.</b><br />
<br />
<b><i>Lady Justice </i>and Children's Rights Advocates<i> </i>would agree with Albert Einstein, "If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity." </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Even though justice is sought within our court system, it does
not always prevail. Within the Therapeutic Teen Industry (TTI), that
encompasses so-called residential treatment facilities and wilderness programs
(aka boot camps) for tweens, teens, and youths, it is no secret that
accountability and oversight is negligible, even if under the façade of
oversight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Documents attest to deaths,
attempted suicides, rapes, physical and emotional abuse of children within
these facilities, yet accountability remains close to nil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These facilities run rampant, afforded carte
blanche in doing so, often protected by a township or county where the facility
resides, often protected by various state entities charged with protecting our
children, or wrongly given free reign because of religious affiliation. Who is
going to stop negligent facilities and their staff, staff and student
perpetrators (due to a facility hiring staff without appropriate background
checks; accepting a student in violation of their own admission’s guidelines
for the ‘bang of the buck’), or hosting states that violate the Interstate Compact
for the Protection of Children (ICPC)—who? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Each year, Departments of Human Services and Child
Protective Services across the country, log hundreds upon hundreds of
investigative reports where abuse has transpired against our children with in the
TTI—that is if a ‘supervisor ‘does not deem, “it is within her job scope to
change reports”; or, the facilities themselves operate under a ‘containment’
policy. If DHS responds, “We are not in business to put facilities out of
business…” Why bother with investigative reports? How many children at one
facility who attempted suicide within 10 months are enough to justify a
facility intervention by a state? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lady
Justice </i>might deem one child was too many… Georgia’s DHS apparently thought
16 children (two, a re-attempt) attempting suicide within 10 months was chicken
feed at the former Ridge Creek School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Where is the outrage? Each complicit individual walked away, unscathed
with licenses intact. Ring a bell? It should! Why? It is the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">modus operandi</i> in states dealing with
allegations of egregious abuse and negligence, even fraud, apparently inherent
in the TTI facilities.</b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The TTI industry is growing at an enormous rate. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Healthcare conglomerates are building assets
within the TTI industry, as the financial gain is more than palatable. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We find our Special Needs children targeted in
marketing campaigns for the last few years, as Autism became the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in Vogue </i>diagnosis replacing the
previously sought after children diagnosed with ADD, then ADHD, and ODD. </b><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The TTI industry players are perceptive; they
follow trends quite astutely—now on the gain are alcohol and drug rehabs, plus mental
health facilities…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Essentially, nothing
has changed, accept the TTI has upped the ante and bounty on children’s
heads—the TTI still markets to treat any anomaly known to adolescents and now
younger children—still a <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>one-stop drop
off service. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Across our nation, the
strong TTI lobbies and markets to our judges, juvenile justice departments, psychiatrists,
psychologists, boards of education, our Department of State, and to our
Congress—where [they] are apparently deaf, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Or, perhaps, simply too tied to their investments?</b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Who can stop this madness? A burgeoning multi-billion-dollar
industry, where educational consultants were already daydreaming of bank
deposits with the dawn of Obamacare. Does it matter to them that a 12-year-old
Special Needs child is sharing a bedroom with a 17-year-old sexual predator?
What? You forgot to disclose to the child’s parents that the offender was
adjudicated for rape? Cha-ching. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lady Justice</i> blinded by greed
here.</b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Dedicated advocates and activists for children exist for a
reason. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They seek justice that does not
come for the abused, as there are no checks and balances, or oversight, and
certainly no accountability. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Giving
voice to those who cannot speak is righteous in a ‘just’ society. The TTI appears
determined to silence children’s rights advocates and survivors of an apparent,
abhorrent industry. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Silence is not an
option. The intrinsic reward is the safety and well-being of our children; it
is not a financial, residual bounty. Moreover, yes, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lady Justice</i> carries a double-edged sword, another embodiment that
reminds us… to listen, give credence, and rights to all sides, which includes
our most precious children, not just their captors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conglomerates may not subsidize <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our lobby</i>, but child advocates and
activists remain determined to expose the truth to protect our future—our
children. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Florida’s Dozier School Children had no voice. Hell, America did
not even know they existed, until they were unearthed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no licensing or oversight in Florida
to this day. The Judge Rotenberg Center in Massachusetts still shocks children…
they have no voice… even the Department of State recommends the facility, while
the UN equated the facility program to torture. Then, we have the former New
Bethany Home for Girls of Arcadia, Louisiana. Their cries—silenced for over 30
years. The owner, Mack W. Ford, was never prosecuted for allegations of rampant
abuse and rape; he got off easy—he died.</b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>TTI defamation lawsuits will no doubt continue against child
advocates and activists for children’s rights, as numerous facilities and their

dismiss, along with six affidavits in support of the motion, including Ms. _______’s

appear damning and read like a horror tale, but of no surprise to those
familiar with the TTI.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Additionally, the defense invoked California’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">anti-SLAPP and Utah’s own one-year statute
of limitations for defamation</i>.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>For
those familiar with law, an instantaneous smile of acknowledgment tantamount to
veteran MSM anchor Chris Matthews’ exhortation, “I felt this thrill going up my

<b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A motion for

2d 1264, 1267 (D. Utah, Feb. 14, 2011). In other words, a “court is to presume,
for purposes of considering the motion, that all well-pleaded allegations by
the non-movant are true and all reasonable inferences are made in favor of the
non-movant.” <i>Id. </i>The Court should not, however, give any presumption of
truth to “[l]egal conclusions, deductions, and opinions couched as facts,” <i>Heffner

judicial notice of the date when the allegedly defamatory content was

take judicial notice of factual information found on the world wide web.” <i>O’Toole

should take judicial notice of three things: (1) the specific language that
Plaintiff alleges is defamatory and its location on the Internet;2 (2) the

Machine provide the date on which each alleged defamatory statement <i>was
originally published </i>and, where applicable, the date on which certain
alleged defamatory statements were <i>changed</i>. These dates will assist the
Court in determining whether the alleged defamatory statements were published

whether “a <i>narrow exception </i>to the single publication rule called
‘republication,’ could provide a way for Plaintiffs to avoid dismissal.” <i>Id.

traditional republication exception in the context of material published on the
internet.” <i>Id. </i>at 915 (“Very little case law . . . directly addresses
these issues.”). In its discussion, the court said that other courts had found
that republication occurs when “new <i>substantive </i>information was added to
the actual webpage defaming the plaintiffs.” <i>Id. </i>at 917 (emphasis
added). The court held that there was no such republication by SPLC. It said
that the defamatory material “was never modified in any manner until
Plaintiff’s name was removed.” <i>Id. </i>It further said that “[w]hile other
portions of the . . . website may have changed, those portions were <i>unrelated
</i>to the defamatory statements,” and that there were no “<i>substantive
changes </i>that [would] trigger[] republication.” <i>Id. </i>at 917–18

<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">UTAH – January 30, 2015 ATTORNEYS
AT BALLARD SPAHR LLP HIT COURT FILING OUT OF THE PARK WITH DEFENDANT’S ANSWER
TO DIAMOND RANCH ACADEMY’S COMPLAINT </span></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">It is not often that one reads
court filings with a grin. Ballard Spahr LLP submitted a brilliant, even
humorous response to the complaint filed by Diamond Ranch Academy’s (DRA)
attorneys against Ms. F----, alleging <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>defamation—including <i>both</i> libel and slander.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></b></div>
<div class="Default">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">The Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law? Spice things up, eh? We shall savor every bite.</span></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">If one is familiar with the burgeoning, multi-billion dollar so-called Therapeutic Teen Industry, this case is worth a read... Seriously, there is humor to be found in this filing, which is
welcome by children’s rights advocates in what they rightly view as a
sinister, dark industry. An industry, where accountability appears virtually non-existent. </span></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">The “Thirteenth Defense” in this filing actually
defines slander to DRA’s attorney’s and the Court, as not applicable, because slander
is oral, not written. “Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint and the slander and slander per se
causes of action asserted therein are barred because Plaintiff’s alleged
defamatory statements are all written—not spoken.” Go ahead chuckle. It is pretty comical.</span></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">The “Twenty-Fourth Defense” in the filing is
a gift that would keep on giving for the defense and those individuals referred
to as “Survivors of DRA,” if this case goes to court. “Some or all of the damages of
which DRA complains were the result of the fault and/or actions of DRA itself,
were the result of the fault and/or actions of persons or entities over whom or
over which Ms. ----- has no control, and/or were the result of intervening
causes.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Advocates are hearing
potential witnesses for the defense are wishing for a subpoena to give testimony—such
testimony...that apparently no sane facility would welcome in the public
arena, let alone their own lawsuit.</span></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Ballard Spahr, in its filing, cites
California’s Anti-SLAAP law, Utah’s Anti-SLAAP Act, along with the First and
Fourteenth Amendment, the Utah Constitution <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">et
al</i>. <i>The Counterclaim</i> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– touché.</span></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div class="Default">
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Whatever the outcome, it is
clear the Ballard Spahr LLP group is quite capable, assembled quite an army with foresight, and the “JV”
team in DC could benefit from them. One can only hope that the
cognitive capabilities of the Court far exceed attorney’s having to define “slander.” </span></b></div>

We are sincerely heartbroken for all these brave, brilliant, dedicated women
who deserve far more than this... who stood up not for just their
'Sisters', but for those rights of children to follow, and for those
precious lives that were[ lost] thanks to the likes of Mack W. Ford. <br />
<br />
Statute of limitations? Nary a soul listened for how many years?????!!!! <br />

<br />
UPDATE 01-15-2015:<br />
<br />
<br />
As children's rights advocates, we were appalled at the decision not
to indict Mack Ford, but not surprised. The "good ole boy" mentality,
still systemic (which apparently spreads to a so-called professional
woman), must cease. This is not about political favors, cronyism, but
about lives destroyed -- lost-and an egregious miscarriage of justice.<br />
<br />
We sincerely hope that Mr. Newell will not only re-open the New Bethany investigation, but seek <span class="text_exposed_show">the truth as to what transpired during the former investigation. </span><br />
<br />
Any imbecile would recognize, immediately, that the statute of
limitations would present an issue. It did not take a year for the Grand
Jury to decide the statute of limitations would be problematic in
seeking justice for New Bethany children.<br />
Sewers have a way of backing up...and the former investigation appears to reek.<br />

<b>UTAH - Allegations filed in court on December 3, 2014 allege false imprisonment, personal injury, child abuse, fraudulent misrepresentation, actual and constructive fraud. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Attorney Thomas Burton, for the plaintiffs, is all too familiar with the multi-billion dollar Therapeutic Teen Industry that is an apparent gold mine, not only for insiders, but outside investors as well, along with towns, counties, and states that house these private facilities. </b><br />
<br />
<b>The question remains: Can [he] win 'one?' Can he 'break' the containment and carte blanche aura, even with apparent so-called non-existent oversight?</b><br />
<br />
<b>One such oversight: </b><b><b>COLLAPSIBLE SHOWER RODS - Early Fall of 2013, a young man perished
after hanging himself in the shower with a belt. According to the State
of Utah's DHS Licensing Division, upon their recommendation for
remedy, existing shower rods were replaced with collapsible rods and
shower heads. Negligence cited? Wishful thinking.</b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For advocates, activists, and survivors of this industry, the below court filing is of no surprise. Different venue, but apparently the same inexcusable, egregious allegations that too often repeat themselves. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>LAWSUIT:</b><br />

markets itself as a boarding school, academy, and therapeutic treatment center,
and designed to straighten out troubled, truant or failing teenage youth, and through
a positive, supportive program, helping them to gain confidence in themselves,
and, to want a healthy and happy life forth themselves. Its failure to do so is
endemic and epidemic. Instead,it leaves a trail of posttraumatic stress,
nightmares, and damaged, destroyed families. Diamond Ranch Academy's
extravagant fees fraudulently suggest great expertise and cloak its staffs
minimal credentials and multiple mistakes.</span></b> </span></b></div>

young men and women whose truancies, addictions, criminal records, and violence
quotients were unknown to this boy and girl or their parents. Diamond Ranch

unsafe, and unsanitary. Its purpose was to torment Tyler and J anaye into
becoming mindless, robotic, and docile subjects for no valued psychological or educational
purpose except to profit Diamond Ranch Academy Academy.</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

This and other stressors at Diamond Ranch Academy finally drove her to attempt
suicide but the curtain rod broke. A 911 call brought the police, requiring
that she be hospitalized for observation, but staff at Diamond Ranch Academy
talked them out of it on the basis that the ambulance would have to be billed
to her parents, thus increasing an already expensive investment (and., of
course, to keep the attempt a secret)). Diamond Ranch Academy told the police that
they would take her privately to a hospital which, of course, they never did;
again, there was no follow up, and her being overwrought was treated punitively
by checking every half hour on her in bed when she was wearing only a sports
bra and panties, and when she acted out, by holding her down and treating her punitively
for making the suicide attempt, and of course risking the school's reputation.</span></b></div>

Diamond Ranch Academy Academy held itself out to Tracy Sarno and Janet Yelding
as a therapeutic school. The Diamond Ranch Academy contract was one of
enrollment in a school, not enrollment in a "Residential Treatment
Program" for the purpose of behavior modification or rehabilitation. One
of the administration requirements is that information provided to parents
shall be accurate and factual, Rule 501-2(3). Tyler and Janaye's parents were
never advised that each licensed program must have a licensed physician or
consulting licensed physician, licensed psychologist, or social worker, or
professional</span></b></div>

Diamond Ranch Academy intentionally and purposely concealed from Tyler and
Janaye's parents that it was a state-licensed residential treatment center
aimed at rehabilitation so as to be protected by the Utah Healthcare
Malpractice Act, and that their waiving any claim against Diamond Ranch Academy

the Utah Health Care Malpractice Act's requirements on the other hand.</span></b></div>

<br />
OPINION:<br />
<br />
Unqualified and uneducated in the Troubled Teen Industry (TTI), television 'showmen' like "Dr. Phil" just never learn, nor do the networks seeking the bottom line in sending children to documented, abusive facilities across not only the US, but the world. After the producer or director yells cut, these showmen sleep at night, while children are lost in the wilderness, broken physically and mentally, held in isolation, or reported to have perished. Why? Follow the money.<br />
<br />
Documented evidence with the government Accountability Office and the United Nations attest to abuse, deaths, and the need for regulations (state regulations, if any, appear virtually non-existent and apparently laden with cover-ups) of an industry that markets to [fix] any tween or teen anomaly known to mankind.<br />
<br />
The Dr. Phil's of the world apparently accept no accountability, as viewed in this lawsuit.<br />
<br />
With foresight leading up to and beyond Obamacare, marketing for children with ADD-->ADHD--> ODD would take a backseat, until another convenient 'acronym' emerged requiring drugs. With Obamacare, our Special Needs Children and Mentally Challenged Children, especially on the autism spectrum, became prime targets. Not to mention those tweens and teens with drug addiction. With Obamacare came limited, if any, insurance company coverage without such diagnosis in the 'old' TTI market. The sell off of facilities formerly owned by Bain Capital's CRC Health, under Aspen Education, was another warning sign. <br />
<br />
Bain Capital/CRC's buying of methadone clinics across the country is another warning sign.[1] Other entities are building opulent rehab centers. Why? Drug addiction rehabilitation is covered under a multitude of policies. With a failure rate reported at over 90%, these facilities become a revolving door- a very lucrative cash cow.<br />
<br />
Does this indicate that we will now see a continuous parade of children that are Special Needs, Mentally Challenged, or those facing the horrors of addiction on shows like "Dr. Phil?" What a ratings bonanza!<br />
<br />
These "showmen," are much like Bain/CRC in the health industry; they saw what was 'lucrative'... ignoring their professional oaths as M.D.'s and PhD's, and grabbed the opportunity to make a killing marketing anything from fake 'miracle' vitamins to placing children in these facilities - some 'trade'!<br />
<br />
The lawsuit remains active. <br />

<b><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt;">1. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;">This
case charges Philip McGraw, Ph.D. (Dr. Phil), a vaunted television<o:p></o:p></span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">psychologist, for
soliciting and exploiting the David and Terri Myers family </span></b></span><b><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;">whose suffering </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">15 </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;">year
old daughter was caught soliciting sex on the </span></span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">internet. This
sensational news attracted Dr. Phil because it fit the show's </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">traditional format.</span></b></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<br />
<b><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt;">2. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Being
primarily interested in his show's ratings, Dr. Phil concealed from </span></span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">the family his having
little personal interest in their daughter's plight. </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">Plaintiffs' ignorance
of his true motives allowed Dr. Phil to induced them </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">to submit to his
brand of blunt ridicule for their not being more vigilant. </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">He thus proceeded to
condemn Terri Myers for not knowing where her </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">daughter was and
berating the daughter for seeking sex on the Internet.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<b><span style="color: cyan;"></span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">3. He charged Terri
Myers of failing her daughter by "a country mile" and the </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">daughter of total
naivete in thinking that her Internet contacts might be </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">having emotional
problems just as she was. Dr. Phil's psychological </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">remedy was to offer

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>April 24, 1915, is a day of remembrance for all Armenians. A day when Christian Armenians peacefully living in Turkey would face the Ottoman Empire's wrath-an ethnic cleansing, a barbaric, systematic extermination of gentle souls. </b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>April 24, 2015, on the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the United States of America has not sought justice, reparations, or acknowledged the Armenian Massacre as Genocide, where an estimated 1.5 million human beings were slaughtered. Additionally, Assyrians, Syrians, Anatolian, and Pontic Greeks were slaughtered. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Genocide is genocide. Say the word Mr. President. Borrow some testicles. Like Turkey, you will 'get over it.'</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>God spared my grandmother as she trudged through the death march upon the Deir ez-Zor desert, burying her only baby beneath the sand. She lived with unwavering faith, to give witness to the inhumane horrors and atrocities that befell women and children on that desert march. Those atrocities, forever seared into her eyes, would reflect a pain that no human being should ever carry. Her visions were of Ottoman soldiers raping young girls and women; torturing, then murdering them. Infants were tossed into the air and bayoneted for "fun." This was the finale to what my grandmother witnessed in her village where age afforded no boundaries; there would be no males that survived. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My grandfather was working the Panama Canal when the Genocide took place. He mourned the loss of his entire family, until reading a notice placed in the Armenian newspaper (10) years later; it was from his beloved bride. She was alive in France. They would raise a family in the United States.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My generation knew our grandparents, if we were fortunate. I never got to meet my aunt who perished in that desert. As those of Armenian heritage, I carry her memory inside me. A memory given by my grandmother. I know that God has brought them together now, in peace, where they began their journey with unwavering faith.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mr. Erdogan, President of Turkey, your denial of the Armenian 'Genocide,' like our President, sheds light on your character--er, lack thereof. Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, enjoyed a shirtless photo op on a horse. Perhaps, you should try it on a jackass as befitting.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>President Obama... Well... he wears a shirt riding in his golf cart. He smiles--a lot. His speeches--he <i>was</i> a fine orator, quite remarkable on delivering his lines. Hollywood most likely agrees. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>On January 19, 2008, during his presidential campaign, Obama released a powerful statement regarding the recognition of the Armenian Massacre as Genocide and we drank the <i>Kool-Aid. </i>Even those that never really liked <i>Kool-Aid--</i>believed.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Statement: </b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b> "I also share with Armenian Americans – so many of whom are descended from genocide survivors - a principled commitment to commemorating and ending genocide. That starts with acknowledging the tragic instances of genocide in world history. As a U.S. Senator, I have stood with the Armenian American community in calling for Turkey's acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide. Two years ago, I criticized the Secretary of State for the firing of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, after he properly used the term "genocide" to describe Turkey's slaughter of thousands of Armenians starting in 1915. I shared with Secretary Rice my firmly held conviction that the Armenian Genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence. The facts are undeniable. An official policy that calls on diplomats to distort the historical facts is an untenable policy. As a senator, I strongly support passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.106 and S.Res.106), and as President I will recognize the Armenian Genocide." <a href="http://www.anca.org/press_releases/press_releases.php?prid=1365">http://www.anca.org/press_releases/press_releases.php?prid=1365</a></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>President Obama, there is no need to step up to the podium today, April 24th, 2015. Nary a soul wishes to hear from a man whose word is not his bond.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And, that is our take. </b></span><br />

Indictments, adjudication, vindication, and peace for his victims is warranted.<br />

<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">SYRACUSE — The family of a teenage girl who claims she was</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">berated on television by Dr. Phil and then sent to a residential treatment center in Utah </span></strong><strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">where she was falsely imprisoned, has </span></strong><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>filed a civil lawsuit. </strong><strong>Terri and David Myers, on behalf of their 15-year-old daughter, filed the complaint</strong></span></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">in federal court in Salt Lake City on Monday against the Dr. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">Phil Organization, Bain Capital, CRC Health Group,</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">Aspen Educational Group, Island View Academy in Syracuse and a teacher at the academy.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">In February of 2013, Terri Myer went on the "Dr. Phil" show </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">with her daughter. In the episode, the daughter admitted to having sex with adult men she met online, </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">which the family called "bizarre and dangerous conduct" </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">in their lawsuit.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">The family claims Dr. Phil, Phil McGraw, subjected the mother </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">and daughter to "his brand of blunt ridicule." He offered to help the family by paying for the daughter to enroll at Island View Academy, a co-ed residential treatment center for troubled youth located in Syracuse. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">The parents enrolled the girl. In their suit, they now call the facility </span></strong><strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;">a "private prison" and claim their daughter was placed there "for the purpose of forcing her to become obedient instead of truant by depriving her of freedom, </span></strong><br />

<br />
..SMARMY INGREDIENTS THAT ARE MOST DESERVING OF ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO H.R. 1981 ...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">F</span>or many families, by the time they end up at an educational consultant's office they have exhausted every community resource available, or they are emotionally exhausted because there is little, if any, community help for their child. In many instances, they have exhausted their financial resources, too. This needs to change. Change takes forever, time is of the essence, fear for your child takes over, and boom. They have got you hook, line, and sinker.<br />
<br />
You bought into the "Teen Help Industry," herein referred to as the "industry,"<em> you feel a</em> <em>weight</em> has been lifted from your being as your child is 'safely' tucked away in a facility program. You sleep soundly for the first time in what seems ages; <strong>until</strong>, you receive "<strong>the call."</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>THE CALL - A TRUE INCIDENT:</strong><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Your child cannot talk because their heavy sobs are incapacitating their speech.</li>
<li>You have a 15-minute, monitored telephone call with your child.</li>
<li>You think you heard your child say "there was blood everywhere, I had to walk through blood."</li>
<li>The monitor/counselor keeps interrupting.</li>
<li>You and your child's 15-minute telephone conversation is up.</li>
<li>You tell your child to put the counselor/monitor on the phone.</li>
<li>You affirm that you wish to speak with your child immediately, without monitoring, stating that the telephone conversation was inaudible as your child was near hysterics.</li>
<li>You are a zillion miles away, angst is rising, your pulse is rapid, you are ready to vomit, and the monitor/counselor that is less than half your age states, "it is against the rules."</li>
<li>You reiterate that you do not give a damn, "I want my child placed on the phone - NOW!"</li>
<li>The monitor replies that they "must get permission from their supervisor."</li>
<li>While your child's sobs permeate, you lose it. "Either put my child on the phone, take your body out of the room, or I will call the police."</li>
<li><strong>BINGO!</strong></li>
</ul>
Reality sinks in, you realize that your previous interrupted sleep patterns were a gift, sleepless nights return with a vengeance, and your real nightmare has just begun.<br />
<br />
Your educational consultant will not return your call. "But, they are a member of IECA."<br />
<br />
<strong>Those that have not been inducted into this abhorrent "industry," and are contemplating utilizing their offerings - this is for you.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>TIPS FOR DUMMIES</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>ETHICS</strong><br />
<br />
"In the United States, educational consultants are not bound by any particular statutory rules for practitioners." However, many professional organizations have established standards for professional consultants by which their members pledge to abide - in this case, IECA (Independent Educational Consultants Association.)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.educationalconsulting.org/PDF/IECA_Principles_of_Good_Practice.pdf">http://www.educationalconsulting.org/PDF/IECA_Principles_of_Good_Practice.pdf</a><br />
<br />
In other words, to become an educational consultant requires no state licensing, no state oversight, certainly no academic degree, and absolutley no accountability. In all fairness, there are educational consultants that have advanced degrees, whom are licensed or accredited psychologists, counselors, social workers, etc., that have branched out into this very lucrative world of educational consulting for "at risk" teenagers and youth offenders.<br />
<br />
What confounds the mind, is how an academic can justify sending children and youths to programs that utilize non-evidence based therapies, especially in wilderness boot camps. The industry is more than willing to provide their "own research," which is beyond laughable. This is abominable.<br />
<br />
The educational consultant community (IECA) has now embraced our Special Needs Children, which is apparently on their hit parade. More and more facilities,schools,and academies market and advertise themselves to Special Needs Children and their families. Twenty or so years ago, the money-maker was the coming of age of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) to follow, then ODD (Opposition Defiant Disorder). Addictions were a given. Now the children and youth targeted are those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and of course "pill-poppers." All these diagnosis not only keep the pharmaceutical companies euphoric, but the educational consultants and the programs to which they refer to, are running with it.<br />
<br />
More alarming are school/academy/facility programs that appear to be on the rise and market for adjudicated youth deemed sexual predators, or those with sexual addictions. In lieu of jail, (hearts go out to those victims who were offended and both families) youth sexual offenders are placed in facility programs, often with the help of an educational consultant and attorney. Once these offenders start "grooming" or offend at one of these facility programs, they are moved to another facility that will accept them. Herein lies the problem. If, as has happened, the offenders are accepted into an unethical facility (Therapeutic Boarding School, Wilderness, etc.) for the bang of the buck and commingled with Special Needs Children, it is a proven recipe for disaster - a human toll, a tragedy that could have been prevented. Most offenses are kept in-house, never to be reported by the facility or educational consultant. If you expect that an educational consultant would divulge this, your naivety needs a reality check.<br />
<br />
Perhaps educational consultants do not know what a "mandated" reporter's responsibility is, not to mention their lack of ethical standards. <br />
<br />
One important aspect of the educational consultant's success is their keen ability to market themselves to clients. In addition, they must establish connections, a network with their brethren and the facilities where they attempt to place children. One palm simply greases the other. Those educational consultants that do speak out are ostracized, hung, quartered, and black-balled.<br />
<br />
<strong>HOW NOT TO FEED THE EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT AND THE PROGRAMS THEY </strong><strong>REFER TO</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Parental trust, blind faith, and fear will be quite palatable to the educational consultant.</li>
</ul>
<strong>INSIDE THE LURE:</strong><br />
<br />
All glorious and picture perfect to induce, until you:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Educate yourself. The Internet affords access to most everything.</li>
<li>Review your educational consultant's qualifications through state licensing boards for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, etc. They may not need to be licensed as an educational consultant, but if they present one of the above "shingles" they should be licensed by the state.</li>
<li>Search the Internet for complaints. Weigh them, without input from the educational consultant. "Reputation Defender," although good, cannot expunge everything. You may be under stress, wrought with worry, but you are not <strong>inept.</strong></li>
<li>Do not accept phone numbers of previous clients as proof of merit, ethics, and success for obvious reasons.</li>
<li>If the educational consultant touts that they are a member of their own association, IECA, take it with a grain of salt, along with other nuances. To be a member of IECA, one must pay their dues and then complain about IECA.</li>
<li>If the educational consultant taps a NATSAP ( National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs) program - run<strong>. NATSAP is useless.</strong></li>
<li>Ask the educational consultant for the names of facility programs to which they have referred clients. Browse the Internet checking for complaints, news reports, previous and current lawsuits.</li>
<li>Call the local sheriff's office and inquire as to how many 911 calls were placed to the department from the facility program the educational consultant is recommending. 911 call logs from children, parents, staff, DFCS, or other state agencies are public information and may be requested.</li>
<li>Check with the state's Department of Human Services, Department of Mental Health, or similar state agency to find out if there is oversight of the recommended facility, if the facility is licensed by the state, and whether incident reports are available. Do not take any one's word. Licensing is only effective if the state supports their own regulations. State agencies often funnel children and youths into these programs, so they will not cut off the hand that feeds them.</li>
<li>Remember, as in other markets, industry-wide "friendships' and compensation all too often obscures the ability to be truthful.</li>
</ul>
After all this, it is still a "crap-shoot." The odds are not favorable. You are the fish treading in dark unnatural, uncharted waters. The "bait" is well-positioned.<br />
<br />
<strong>THE BAIT</strong><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Emotionally distressed, seeking a safe environment for ones child, devastation - a quite lucrative bounty.</li>
</ul>
<strong>DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT - MAJOR ALARMS</strong><br />
<strong>THIS CANNOT BE EMPHASIZED ENOUGH:</strong><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><strong>Never place your child in any program where there is <u>no outside access</u>.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Never place your child in a program where their <u>telephone calls and mail is monitored to and from the parent</u>. No matter what is dreamt up to console you about this program policy, this is for containment only and dangerous.</strong></li>
<li><strong>If the program stipulates the children lie and manipulate as an answer to your concerns - run. You alone know your child and when they are fabricating. Look into your child's eyes, their heart, and you will have your answer.</strong></li>
<li><strong><u>If the educational consultant recommends a facility/school/academy in Costa Rica or overseas - run</u>.</strong></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Never place your child in a facility program where the medication is not dispensed by an R.N.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>If the educational consultant states that they have visited the facility program, remember, these facilities put forth their best behavior creating a facade. The same facade would apply to a parent visit or state agency visit. No educational consultant has witnessed a child hanging from a tree or had to walk through a blood-drenched dorm floor from a suicide attempt. If the educational consultant witnessed inexcusable therapy </strong><strong>sessions, you will not be advised.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Under no circumstances sign a contract absolving the educational consultant of liability.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Ask the educational consultant if they are mandatory reporters regarding incidents they are privy to at the the programs to which they refer.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Ask the educational consultant if they receive compensation from the facility program to which they refer.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><u>If any individual markets himself/herself as a "parent advocate" and refers children and youths to one of these facilities/programs - sprint. Chances are they receive compensation on both ends - one is unethical, known as "kick-backs."</u></strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Know that the marketing of these facility programs intentionally affords a vision of therapy and continuing a child's education (another lure) under one roof. Look at it as a one-stop drop-off service to 'fix' any anomaly known to teen-kind. </strong></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>WHAT THE EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT SHOULD ADVISE WHEN MAKING REFERRALS TO PROGRAMS</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If an educational consultant did their homework and was ethical, they would have already thoroughly vetted the facility/program; history has shown this is not the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
History has also shown their disclosure to be less than forthcoming.</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, doctors, etc., those that claim to be licensed, accredited, and affiliated with the program - check their references within the state, which can be found at state licensing boards and the state's Department of Education. Seek out those professionals that are no longer affiliated with the facility/school/academy. What they have to say may just shock you.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Special Needs Children - Check the facility program's capabilities, accreditation (which appears to mean nothing these days) of their Special Needs Educational Program, counseling, and the credentials of those individuals to whom you are entrusting your child into their care. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Again, check with the state's Department of Human Services or similar to find out if there is oversight of the recommended facility, if it is licensed by the state, and whether incident reports are accessible. Do they follow through with mandatory reporting, accountability, or just shelve a report , and not prosecute. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Never place your child in a facility program that does not show proof of insurance for fraud, negligence,abuse, accident, and professional liability. Check the state statutes for fraud.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Do not fall prey to paying advanced tuition for a discount or otherwise. Do not pay deposits unless the deposit is held in escrow. Read the fine print. Have a contract attorney read the contract. Check the state statutes regarding a facility/program that has a "rolling enrollment" which allows for the lawful return of deposits and tuition.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
It is imperative that you out-source any psychological testing, free from the program to ensure there is no scam, double-dipping or program surcharge, so that the testing is completed as paid for by a licensed, ethical psychiatrist, or psychologist that is in no way affiliated or compensated by the facility program. In addition, as despicable as it is, those affiliated with programs have been asked to change diagnosis to make the child/youth acceptable to the program offered.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Enrollment statistics - Ask for the number of clients that do not complete the program. You will not get the truth.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Under no circumstances place your child with Autism Spectrum Disorder(s) in a wilderness program.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Under no circumstances send your child from a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) to a Therapeutic Boarding School or a Wilderness program that purports to be a Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) or Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF). The states will have a listing of licensed RTF's, PRTF's, and other mental health facilities.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Internet search - Again, there is a plethora of information available. Search complaints and lawsuits.</div>
</li>
</ul>
The above is nowhere near a "fail-safe." <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>IMPERATIVE - ASK THE EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Does the facility program commingle children with DJJ youth placements, DFCS state placements through waivers (facility is not fully vetted or licensed) or otherwise, in-state or out-of-state youth that are court-ordered or more important adjudicated to placement in lieu of jail, with private pay placements including Special Needs Children.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Does the facility program commingle children that are victims of sexual assaults with youth that are adjudicated sexual predators? Groomers?</strong></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>BY NOW</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You are totally disillusioned and disgusted. Your child deserves help within your community and under your watch, but there is little help, if any. Most psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, pediatricians, teachers, judges, attorneys, etc., have not been educated in the fraud, abuse, and neglect associated within this industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These are the sad facts with the only remedy lying within the communities themselves, so that out-sourcing of our young to these abusive, fraudulent facility programs becomes a blemish on our history. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You may be thinking, "are you out of your mind?" "How can I do all this?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The important question is, <strong>"how can you not?" </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Be your child's advocate and their solace. Your "bounty" is your humanity. Do not strip your child of theirs. </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>FIGHT BACK AND SUPPORT H.R. 1981 "STOP CHILD ABUSE IN RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS FOR TEENS ACT OF 2013."</strong></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tonya Boga<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">Georgia - Tonya Boga has resigned as Director of the Office of the Child Advocate. An attorney in her own right, perhaps Ms. Boga will return to practice, as her license to practice law is active.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">In 2012, Ms. Boga stated in an interview with Channel 2 News investigative reporter Aaron Diamant, "I see us as a voice for the children of the state of Georgia." Ms. Boga went on to say, "I think there needs to be more training, and DFCS is working on that training." [1] [2]</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">These statements indicate more smoke and mirrors. Blame the work force, not the upper echelon of supervisors and directors. How proactive is it to train more DFCS/CPS investigators/agents, if it is the <em>supervisors, </em>who are afforded carte blanche in subjective editing of final survey reports? </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">In a 2011 interview, a DFCS/CPS/ORCC investigator disclosed, off the record for fear of reprisal, that a report the investigator submitted was ignored, and this was not the first time. "You stay in line. You don't ask questions; not if you wish to keep your job." There was no question the <em>fear factor </em>was overwhelming. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">As 'real' child advocates, we found that several of our complaints filed with the ORCC under DHS, including DFCS and the subsequent finalized survey reports generated by those entities, were either missing in the final survey report, changed, or the original complaint was not addressed in the final survey report with coinciding complaint identifiers.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">As 'real' child advocates, we met with Tonya Boga in the Fall of 2011. On our own time, we went to the Governor's Office. We offered documented evidence and testimony to the Governor's Office, along with Ms. Boga and her entourage at the OCA -- including recommended oversight reforms and regulations based on our experience with the "kid gloves" handling of a facility. We found nepotism, ineptitude, and apparent corruption-rampant. All of which, indicated the problems are systemic as other facilities generate reports with the same failures and 'nothing' is done. "We are not in the business to shut these facilities down," as one Director stated. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> "<em>We the People"</em> thought the creed for agencies under the arm of DHS, such as DFCS, the ORCC, and CPS, was to protect the children, not the facility. Think again.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">We found the directors to be incompetent, not the investigators/agents. If the directors and supervisors are not incompetent, then their plight of containment, an insular quest, shines a worse light toward their embracement of corruption.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Governor Deal: “It is one of those oversight areas, where I think any time we have an extra set of eyes that are looking at a situation, perhaps we can avoid bad things happening,” he said of the office. [1]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Governor Deal's politics and rhetoric aside, in our advocacy for the safety of children and transparency, obviously his 'blanket' statement did not apply. "DEAL would not <em>deal</em> with Ryan and Dunne and get the d<em>eal</em> done," retorts a child advocate.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">When the Georgia Bureau of Investigation raided the Muscogee County DFCS alleging "false statements and writings, concealment of facts, fraudulent documents in matters within jurisdiction of state or political subdivisions, and subornation of false swearing," industry people were shocked. Georgia goes after one of their own? Why Muscogee? Our postion, "<em>they raided the wrong office." </em>[3]</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">Two years later, "We are still investigating." Now, Ms. Boga is gone.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">If one is hopeful that a new Director of the Office of the Child Advocate will be a visionary, do not hold ones breath.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Oversight with no accountability, simply will not work.</span><br />

Brian Vaifanua </td></tr>

HURRICANE, UTAH - How does the likes of <strong>Brian Vaifanua</strong> become the basketball coach and athletic director of Hurricane High School? Apparently, he is not the "Lone Ranger." If reports ring true and Mr. Vaifanua was indeed fired, how long did the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools take to render such a decision? Were <em>they not apprised of Mr. Vaifanua's background? </em>Questions need to be answered by whomever hired Mr. Vaifanua, their vetting process for hiring, and whether Mr. Vaifanua disclosed his past.<br />
<br />
Mr. Jody Rich is the current Principal... "Mr. Rich... what is your professional take? Nepotism? Ineptitude? Negligence?"<br />
<br />
Is this the Mr. Jody Rich that heralds from Diamond Ranch Academy?<br />
<br />
By the end of August 2013, congratulations were extended to the new coach of Hurricane High School, <strong>Mr. Todd Langston</strong>. On November 5, 2013, the <em>Deseret News</em> reported twenty-two teams for the 2013-2014 basketball season will have new coaches.<br />
<br />
What one will not find in the <em>Deseret News,</em> is an answer as to, "W<em>hy was Mr. Vaifanuua fired? Or, was he allowed to resign?" It is doubtful whether this would be reported on FOX 13 NEWS KSTU as family is employed at FOX. Not to mention having friends with the last name of Lichfield... Ring any bells?</em><br />
<br />
A survivor of <em>Paradise Cove</em> reported on <em>Reddit TroubledTeens</em> that Mr. Rich confirmed Mr. Vaifanua had indeed been fired (via a telephone call to him on November 27, 2013-- near three months later).<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He wrote, "<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">I got a phone call today
from Jody rich the principal of hurricane high school confirming that
basketball coach Brian vaifanua the sick bastard that ran paradise cove a
teen torture camp in Western Samoa that hog tied and beat at least a
thousand of us "troubled teens" has official confirmied he has been
fired thanks to the work of me and the other guys that were imprisoned
there."</span></blockquote>
<strong>Another question: With all these connections, how did the Board of Education pull this off?</strong> In Southern Utah, no less. <br />
<br />
It appears Mr. Vaifanua's 'connections' to the horrific Troubled Teen Industry are quite numerous, including extended family, friends, and colleagues (Duane Lee, brother-in-law and former Director of Paradise Cove). <br />
<br />
Mr. Vaifanua, heralds as the former owner and director of the noted abusive Paradise Cove facility in Western Samoa (under the former WWASPS that was headquartered in St. George, Utah). Paradise Cove was closed by the Samoan government for credible allegations of child abuse - no thanks to the US who just issued a warning to US parents. Question? Why were there no indictments of Mr. Vaifanua and the lot of them? The DOJ states it was Samoa and they had no jurisdiction. However, these children were US citizens, abused under Mr. Vaifanua's (a US citizen of Samoan heritage) care, according to reports. Instead, Mr. Vaifanua was free to do a stint as the Director of Midwest Academy in Iowa.<br />
<br />

PARADISE COVE - SAMOA - AS REPORTED ON CBS NEWS "48 HOURS"<br />
<br />
It appears Mr. Vaifanua was not alone in seeking employment with children after the closing of a teen facility such as Paradise Cove... He has plenty of company, which borders on absurdity.<br />
<br />
Dace Goulding, co-owner of the former abusive Darrington Academy, was also listed as an owner of Casa by the Sea in Mexico, which was shut down for child abuse allegations. In addition, Goulding was involved with High Impact in Mexico, which was shut down for child abuse allegations. Darrington Academy was shuttered amidst child abuse allegations. It appears Mr. Goulding gets around, as it is reported that he, too, worked at Paradise Cove (Mr.Vaifanua/Mr. Goulding connection). According to school records, Mr. Goulding is now in the employ of Desert Hills Middle School as a Social Studies teacher and coach.<br />
<br />
Another character was Richard Darrington, co-owner of the former Darrington Academy in Georgia, along with Mr. Goulding. Mr. Darrington was arrested in 2009 for aggravated battery, invasion of privacy, and first degree cruelty to children.<br />
<br />
Mr. Darrington (holding only a substitute teaching license in Nevada), sought employment at Whittell High School and was hired as the Dean of Students. Until, Whittell H.S. found existing battery charges and a "9 count indictment" against Mr. Darrington (and three colleagues) that was awaiting him in Georgia. Nevada revoked his substitute teaching license.<strong> </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Update</strong>: October 2013 charges brought in the indictment of Mr. Darrington in Georgia were dropped... "nolle prosequi"... why? <br />
<br />
In 2011, Mr. Darrington's three colleagues entered into a negotiated guilty plea relating to charges of first degree cruelty to children and invasion of privacy.<br />
<br />
Obviously, being part of the "9 count indictment" was not enough to keep him in Georgia.<br />
<br />
Why not start an association for alleged abusers? There appear to be several possible applicants.<br />
<br />
Perhaps, Mr. Viafanua will end up at Diamond Ranch Academy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>More important questions... Where are they now? Why are they not forbidden to be around children?</strong> <br />
<br />
<strong>Why are they not in jail, along with the entire WWASPS predators and creators, like the Lichfield family?</strong><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<strong>It is simple: Money, power, politics, corruption, and a majority of those in the governing body in Washington that could care less about the quality of life and rights of our children--unless... it is their offspring.</strong></blockquote>

"WE ARE DIFFERENT - BY DESIGN"</span></h4>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">HURRICANE, UTAH - 11-01-2013</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, there have been several inquiries and testaments from parents regarding placement of their children in various facilities across the U.S. Diamond Ranch Academy (DRA) is one such facility, as there have been numerous Internet postings alleging a recent death of a child at DRA.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">The State of Utah's DHS Licensing Division has confirmed that approximately six weeks ago, there was another child's death at Diamond Ranch Academy. This time, a young boy (name withheld out of respect for the young man and his family), perished after completing a suicide attempt.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since prior postings have alluded to or described his suicide attempt, it has been confirmed by a Utah State Official that his precious life ended in a shower, hanging from a belt attached to a shower rod.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">According to the State, the police and DHS investigations are near closure. DHS recommended</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">corrective action at DRA, which has taken place. One corrective act was installing collapsible shower rods and shower heads, so that they remain innocuous.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Excuse: "The staff gets complacent." Another word for negligent.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">A State source conveyed, "the child that completed his suicide attempt was taken off suicide watch by the tending Psychiatrist/Psychologist two days before." Negligence?</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Question: Why was a suicidal child at DRA to begin with? Why was he not transferred to a Mental Health facility?</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">DHS stated that their county receives "on average, one call a year relating to a child's suicide."</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since the investigation is near finalized, whether charges shall be filed remain to be determined. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another quote from a State Official, who was very professional and kind, yet seemingly naive, "DRA is one of the better ones. I believe they can make a difference with these children."</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">

<div align="left">

<span style="font-size: large;">DRA surely did "make a difference." </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"We are different - by design" - as in shower rods and shower heads? </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">DRA appears in dire need of a fresh marketing campaign to bounce back from apparent, egregious negligence. One imagines, DRA and its adjunct mental health care providers, pray the death of this young man is kept "under wraps."</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">But, hey, they can always count on Dr. Drew Pinsky (aka Dr. Drew) for a stellar recommendation.</span></div>
<div align="left">

<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Quoted from the DRA website, "As seen On Dr. Phil's Life Changers"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It is more than evident, that the laws in Utah and across the country regarding Teen Residential Treatment Facilities, Wilderness Programs, and the like, must change to protect our young.</span></div>

<div class="entry-content">
ATLANTA (AP) — The head of Georgia's Ethics Commission, who is accused of intervening in a case involving Gov. Nathan Deal, received pay raises despite being hired as the agency said it had to cut costs, according to records reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.<br />
<br />
The salary of the commission's executive secretary, Holly LaBerge, increased from $85,000 when she started work in September 2011, to $92,000 the following year. She was earning $100,000 by June. By comparison, LaBerge's predecessor quit after absorbing a 30 percent pay cut and later filed a lawsuit alleging that she was punished for aggressively pursuing the investigation involving Deal.<br />
<br />
LaBerge declined to comment to the newspaper and could not be immediately reached for comment by The Associated Press Friday.<br />
<br />
Current and former staffers have given sworn testimony accusing LaBerge of ordering the removal of documents from the case file and meeting with top Deal aides while the probe was ongoing. According to the testimony, LaBerge said that the governor "owed her one" after she claimed to have made ethics complaints against him "go away."<br />
<br />
Deal said he barely knows LaBerge and denied that she did him any favors. He settled complaints related to the campaign by paying a $3,350 penalty.<br />
<br />
The accusations emerged in testimony from the commission's former computer specialist, John Hair, and its current attorney, Elisabeth Murray-Obertein. They were ordered to testify as part of whistleblower lawsuits filed by the commission's former executive director, Stacey Kalberman, and her former top deputy, Sherilyn Streicker.<br />
<br />
Kalberman and Streicker said they were ready to move forward with the investigation involving Deal's campaign. Then the agency's commissioners voted to cut Kalberman's salary by nearly 30 percent and eliminate Streicker's job. At the time, the commissioners said it was a cost-cutting move to solve a budget crisis.<br />
<br />
Kalberman ultimately resigned. She and Streicker filed lawsuits alleging they were punished for pursuing the probe involving the governor.<br />
<br />
LaBerge testified that she received a phone call from the governor's office asking whether she was interested in heading the commission even before the job was open. The commission was intended as an independent watchdog agency overseeing campaign finance and lobbying. It is supposed to hire its own director.<br />
<br />
The commission did experience deep budget cuts. Its funding was reduced 41 percent from 2007 to 2012, although Deal and lawmakers since then approved a budget that gave it back roughly $240,000. Ethics Commission Chairman Kevin Abernethy and Vice Chairwoman Hillary Stringfellow said that LaBerge increased the agency's legislative funding by more than $100,000 since arriving. They said LaBerge has successfully collected late fees, generating about $253,000 for the state treasury.<br />

Our dealings as parents and advocates with former DHS Commissioner Clyde Reese were less than stellar, actually non-existent, although repeatedly attempted by advocates, during the Ridge Creek School fiasco. <br />
<br />
DHS/ORCC lack of accountability, lack of oversight, and lack of transparency allowed the debacle to continue. However, moving Mr. Reese to the DCH is not exactly proactive, nor progressive in an administrative attempt to fix the problems repeatedly cited in reports such as Kenny A., the Children's Rights Org, and the Georgia Advocacy Office.<br />

Hiring Mr. Scroggy as Director of DFCS appeared to be a conflict of interest to begin with, offering up just another avenue for the "fox to guard the henhouse." Mr.Scroggy is now at GAHSC, which is far from comforting.</div>
<br />
Both gentlemen appeared to do a remarkable job insulating Georgia's DHS and DFCS from any transparency and accountability. Under Mr. Scroggy's tenure, DFCS offices were raided by the FBI and charges were brought against underlings. Advocate's general opinion - the FBI raided the wrong offices.<br />
<br />
Do not bang the drums quite yet... Governor Deal just shifted the players around to different departments providing each player with a different venue for the same apparent inepitude, lack of integrity, and complicit behavior. <br />
<br />
Dave Statton, former Director of the ORCC, who abruptly cleaned out his desk in 2011, the morning after our parent/advocate conference call, holds the trump cards relating to his immediate exit - among other issues. Were you really given a RIFF? Perhaps it is time to release the conference call... what say you Mr. Statton?<br />
How do you really feel about subjectively changing survey reports before release?<br />

<br />
… <span style="font-family: inherit;">An expose'</span> of how an author unwittingly becomes entrenched in unnecessary, unwarranted, unprofessional muck offered up by Author Solutions, Inc.'s (now under Penguin Random) management of Balboa Press, a division of Hay House.<br />

<strong>INTRO</strong></div>
<br />
If an author is choosing to go the route of self-publishing their book through a vanity press imprint or print on demand (POD) publisher, it is not an option for those authors whose core values include integrity. Otherwise, the author might find oneself cast into a Rod Serling adventure, sullied in a total set of rules that are inherently foreign to the author.<br />
<br />
For first time authors, the publishing industry is complicated enough to navigate, so procuring services from a seasoned vanity press publisher appears a viable option to undertake. However, procuring services from a vanity publisher, in this case Balboa Press/Author Solutions, Inc., does not negate the fact that you will continue to do all the work; after all, <em>it is your</em> <em>baby. </em>In addition, the author will need to correct all of the mistakes of the publisher’s staff, as oversight appears virtually negligent at best, in each of the multitude of departments.<br />
<br />
Blog authors and industry professionals repeatedly request that the Justice Department and the FBI launch an investigation into the self-publishing monopoly; so far, it appears those requests have been ignored - no surprise there. To file a civil lawsuit, the cost is exorbitant. One recent quote was given at a minimum $25,000.00. - for starters.<br />
<br />
For those authors that have unfortunately tasted apparent misrepresentations, lack of transparency, malfeasance, fraud, bait and switch, failed professional services, ineptitude, and reported egregious mishandling of royalties inherent in the vanity publishing adventure - you have an enormous group of brethren... For new authors debating on using a vanity press publisher, this is for you.<br />
<br />
Self-publishing is a booming industry as new authors feed the bank accounts of vanity presses most undeserving of the author's talent, blood, sweat, and tears. Authors need to fight back; take control of their precious work - their book.<br />
<br />
Independently publish your book. If you cannot fulfill all that is required to get your book ready to independently publish, there are a myriad of book consultants, designers, and illustrators that are knowledgeable, creative, and honest. These individuals will guide you through the publishing process for a reasonable fee, until you take your book live. Network! Do your research and Google “self-publishing complaints and fraud."<br />
<br />
If we cannot find remedy in the justice system, we can be victorious by taking our work back, our pride, and drying up the self-publishing conglomerates' financial resources - authors that are plebes to this horrific industry.<br />
<br />
An industry with no apparent accountability, which blames their own unscrupulous deeds on “visions of grandeur” held by first time authors. Turning the blame onto the offended does not shed a good light. If any “visions of grandeur” were to apply, the “grandeur” expected is for vanity press publishers to operate with integrity, instilling oversight of their production. The human error excuse only goes so far.<br />
<br />
<strong>Balboa Press Survivor:</strong><br />
<br />
In late October of 2012, <strong><em>publishing services</em></strong> were procured through what was believed to be Balboa Press, a division of Hay House Publishing, for an illustrated children's book. Balboa Press was chosen solely because of the books ethereal quality, meaning, and children's rights advocacy that the book's sales would benefit. <br />
<br />
Since the children's book was about angels with combat boots and promoted the importance of family time, Balboa Press appeared to be a perfect fit. Hay House, known as a spiritual publisher, under founder Louise L. Hay, boasted authors such as Wayne Dyer. The choice felt ‘safe’, but it was far from it.<br />
<br />
As a first time author, the self-publishing, vanity press venue was chosen to avoid lone navigation through independent publishing. With advocacy, I was simply spread too thin and I needed help. The often opaque, traditional avenue of publishing was obviously not an option. The objective was to expedite the book to market, retain all rights to further marketing ventures benefiting the continued advocacy, establishment, and continuity of a children’s rights foundation. In retrospect, had I not been a novice, I would have independently published with the help of a professional book consultant, designer, and creative illustrator. Lessons learned.<br />
<br />
In early 2010 and throughout, I was writing the screenplay from the outline of the book. I started converting the screenplay into book form. I researched Hay House, found Balboa Press, and saved their publishing site. There were no visions of grandeur, other than hope that the book would bring much joy and help build our foundation. <br />
<br />
Here it must be noted, that AuthorHouse (brand affiliated with Author Solutions, Inc.) had come up in searching for a self-publishing company. There were an enormous amount of complaints available on the Internet. Deduction - avoid like the plague. Why? Integrity appeared to be lacking, among other issues mentioned by authors, book consultants, literary agents <em>et al.</em><br />
<br />
Regarding Balboa Press, there were no complaints at this time, as their inaugural debut of their first book did not make it to market until July of 2010. On another note, there was a press release by Author Solutions, Inc. and Hay House in April/May of 2010 announcing their partnership with the Hay House imprint, Balboa Press. This press release was not readily available on the Balboa Press website, so I was not aware of the partnership announcement, or that Author Solutions, Inc. was managing Balboa Press. At this time, I had never heard of the entity, Author Solutions, Inc. <br />
<br />
When the book was finished, I accessed the Balboa Press link from my computer "favorites" bar. It was the worst lefty reach I would ever make.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Nightmare Begins:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>October 2013 - Initial Sales Contact – Sales Publishing Consultant (SPC)</strong><br />
<br />
The SPC was exuberant as she inquired about the book and, why I chose Balboa Press. The answer was simple -“Louise Hay of Hay House, Wayne Dyer.” <br />
<br />
Again, I elaborated about why Balboa Press appeared to be the perfect choice. Most importantly, I stated I wanted to avoid, like the plague, vanity publishers such as AuthorHouse. The SPC chuckled.<br />
<br />
• SPC stated the book could be published in hard cover.<br />
• SPC stated Balboa Press had their own illustrative department. <strong>I would be able to confer with the illustrator, which was of utmost importance</strong>, <strong>and I stated as such.</strong><br />
• SPC was informed of the manuscript's current page count and she quoted a price of 23.95 to 25.95. I informed SPC that this would need to be lowered as even though it will be for charity that was an awful high price. SPC stated I would have a say in pricing when the time came and the price could be lowered.<br />
• SPC stated the royalty amounts, but only regarding those print books, which were sold through the Balboa Press website. The royalty amount would be approximately 6.79 after the cost of goods (COGS). SPC mentioned the royalty on Ebooks, which was 50% across the board, with no mention of technology costs discounts/<br />
commissions to publisher, retailer, etc. The SPC failed to mention that print books sold through retailers such as Amazon receive as much as a 55% discount to the retailer. SPC did not mention the ever changing/inflated COGS and taxes, which affected the ever changing royalty quotes.<br />
• SPC stated that books may be purchased by the author at a 50% discount through Balboa Press. What SPC failed to state was that this is a graduated discount, depending on the amount of books purchased.<br />
• SPC stated that Balboa Press will review the manuscript to ensure the book is aligned with their editorial standards. <br />
• SPC appeared so kind, generous, and enthusiastic; she was emailed the manuscript. <br />
• SPC emails an "<strong>Author Agreement "(Services) "just for your review." Keep in mind there is no contract and this "Author Agreement" is not signed.</strong><br />
• SPC forwarded an illustration document to choose the "level of design" of illustrations.<br />
<br />
<strong>October 31, 2012 - “The Believe” publishing package was ordered for $1,759.00 + $75.00 for a payment plan over 3 months, not including correction fees later accessed.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Assigned Check In Coordinator (CIC) 11/01/2012</strong><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li> CIC - I inquired about illustrative rights. </li>
<li> CIC stated the illustrative rights would remain with me, aside from publishing with another company. In her email, it was the first time I saw "Author Solutions Illustrative Program." I thought that must be the name of Balboa's illustrative department, so I thought nothing of it as I did not know Author Solutions, Inc. was was a publishing company affiliate with AuthorHouse. All I cared about at this point was confirmation of retention of the rights to the illustrations for marketing purposes. I was sent an email regarding illustration packages again, along with written confirmation stating illustrative marketing rights.</li>
</ul>
<strong>11/07/2013 - The Illustration package was ordered under "Intricate Design” for </strong><br />
<strong>$3,444.00. In addition, $360.00 was paid for an extra illustration plus $75.00 for a 4-month payment plan.</strong><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>There is a hold up with the Illustrative Department – Calls and emails to the CIC ensue. I am notified someone will be in touch with me in a couple of days.</li>
<li>CIC needed the manuscript uploaded, so they can review it assuring it reflects their editorial standards ("so you know what we will/won't publish.")</li>
<li>CIC email states manuscript was reviewed. "Overall, it looks very good." Asked if CIC read it, "I just glanced over it." </li>
<li>CIC states book cannot be ordered in hard cover (untrue according Book Consultant.)</li>
<li>CIC states I cannot speak with illustrator.</li>
<li>Royalties questioned again. Given as approximately $ 6.79. There was still nothing about Amazon or retailers discount. So I did a search and found various pages with differing quotes explaining royalties and discounts applied via Balboa Press. There was nothing definitive - old web pages and newer web pages offered an “example.” I am now aware of retail pricing on websites such as Amazon and discounting.</li>
</ul>
<strong>ILLUSTRATIVE DEPARTMENT - DISASTER FROM DAY 1 :</strong><br />
<br />
The illustrative department has still not called me.<br />
<br />
<strong>11/17/2012 Custom Illustrations Account Coordinator (CIAC) –</strong> <br />
<br />
• Emails begin from CIAC directed to "Hello Stephanie." Who is not me. Salutation and signature includes the Balboa Press logo. The email includes an introduction. In addition, there is a request to fill out and submit Required Art Directions (RAD) form.<br />
• CIAC- Email from CIAC stated Balboa Press will "set up artist that best suits your project."<br />
• CIAC - Telephone conversation -<strong> I cannot speak with illustrator/artist</strong>. Informed me that the CIAC is the liaison between author and illustrator. I reiterated that the SPC <br />
clearly indicated that I could speak with the illustrator, which was of the utmost importance to me when procuring services.<br />
• Lengthy, time-consuming RAD (Required Art Directions) form filled out with diligence and submitted. Pictures were attached to aid illustrator. Manuscript pages and text lines were cited in the RAD and character descriptions for the illustrator to refer to for aid. “Please call if any questions.” No one ever called. <br />
•CIAC telephone conversation - I had to pry the name of the illustrator of my book from CIAC.<br />
• CIAC emails attachment of initial sketches – not right. I telephone CIAC. "Why would I spend due diligence and time filling out a RAD form and character description citing manuscript text, attaching pictures... so no one would refer to them?" Does the illustrator speak and write in English?" "It clearly states the character is an ancient, delicate woman, hundreds of years old; it does not state she is a bald-headed man." The list goes on. The illustrative correction form is filled out and returned to CIAC.<br />
<br />
*It is important to note here, that the author clearly understands the difficulties facing the illustrator. However, it is important for the author to be <em>allowed </em>contact with the illustrator. No one called with questions.<br />
<br />
<strong> CIAC-11/28/2012 Email - Ball drops. Signature/closing of email bristles with the "AuthorHouse" logo. Body of letter shows illustrators email @ "author solutions." Address of email shows Balboa Press.</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
• I place a telephone call to CIAC. I mention her email and the "AuthorHouse" logo in body of the email. I ask exactly what company does she work for? She replies, "It was an error." Mumbling ensued. She was "sorry;" clearly there was evasive avoidance. My response: "I purchased services with Balboa Press, a division of Hay House. If I wanted to procure services from AuthorHouse, I would have." She continues to deny the relationship of Balboa Press with AuthorHouse. CIAC goes on to offer that they "work for Balboa Press”- "the 'illustrator' is sitting directly across from me.”<br />

<strong>12/07/2012 – The Assistant Production Manager (APM)</strong><br />
<br />
• The APM, whom I have never spoken with, telephones me out of the blue regarding my conversation with the CIAC about AuthorHouse. The APM states emphatically that “Balboa Press is a division of Hay House, she works for Balboa Press, and Balboa Press is not affiliated with AuthorHouse - "they are separate entities." In truth, the APM was correct. Balboa Press <em>is</em> a division of Hay House. However, what was not mentioned, ever, is the fact that Balboa Press is managed by the Author Solutions, Inc. AuthorHouse being an affiliate brand.<br />
<br />
• Since I already have her on the telephone, I then inquire about the COGS and royalties, since there appeared to be several discrepancies. Wherein, I get my third approximation of pricing for royalties. I am now around $3.51.<br />
<br />
• APM follows up with an email enclosing a link to FAQ's about royalties. There is no mention of AuthorHouse. She goes on to state, if I have any questions, to feel free to call her. I did, twice. I left two messages to no avail. I am too far in. I am beyond worried about my project.<br />
<br />
<strong>ILLUSTRATION FIASCO CONTINUES:</strong><br />
<br />
The illustrative sketches and colorization were a disaster. It was apparent that there was a problem with adherence to the RAD/character description form. Pictures that were provided, or the coinciding text (page number and line number) from the manuscript provided to aid the illustrator were obviously ignored or subjectively reviewed. It was so evident, to the point where I was wondering if anyone bothered to read, or if they even could <em>read</em> the RAD form. There was clearly no oversight of the illustrator’s work before remittance to me. I had continued to write, <em>please call if you have any questions...</em> <br />
<br />
After months of inexcusable errors, it was apparent the Art Director, or whomever, did not adhere to “set up an artist that best suits your project.” The project was/is light, airy, and whimsical. I received “dark.” In most cases, the illustrations were sparse (not intricate detail) with no color consistency, no innovation, wrong genders, wrong race, missing or incorrect features, etc. An ancient woman was drawn as a bald-headed, old man numerous times, despite repeated pleas and request for adherence to the RAD and characterization forms. The little girl’s bed looked like a cot out of an army barracks or prison. Angel wings on a helicopter were inverted, objected to, and objections to the CIAC remained ignored – a lame excuse was offered. <br />
<br />
An email arrives from the CIAC with the final color illustrations attached. CIAC states that she and the illustrator have gone over the illustrations and they should be fine now. I open the attachment; viewing the illustrations, tears begin to drop. The illustrations are missing elements that were originally in the artwork. The CIAC and the illustrator could not have “gone over” the final illustrations before remission to me.<br />
<br />
Excuse after excuse mounted by the CIAC who offered, "the illustrator is sensitive, he’s young, he draws like that; it’s a difficult project.” My response to the CAIC, "I appreciate that, but this is a children’s book. This does not take place in a bombed out trailer park in Beirut. There is no consistency in colors..." In my mind, I understood I paid for “intricate design” and the CIAC maintains, “it’s a difficult project.” Why? If it was so difficult, then why accept the project? It was now apparent that there was no professional oversight. <br />
<br />
It was also apparent, as sappy as I am, the CIAC accomplished making me feel bad for the young, “sensitive” illustrator. No kidding, right? What a sap. I took a different approach, heaping thank you’s and praise in hope it would help. Well, that did not work either. Still, at all times, I was respectful and professional in my emails and telephone conversations, even humorous, because the situation was beyond insane - until the end. <br />
<br />
So much time had been lost and the book needed to get to press. Through this entire process, I was so entrenched in correcting the illustrative mistakes, that I neglected to mention to the CAIC that I had commissioned, “Intricate Design,” which would come back to bite me. I began accepting less. I accepted a cover with drab colors, inverted wings, and a <em>Norman Rockwell </em>village that looked like a military base encampment. I was essentially physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted from correcting and dealing with staff. Staff that apparently come and go, as if it were a hamburger joint drive-thru. It was as if I entered the “Twilight Zone.” <br />
<br />
<strong>The Art Director (AD) takes over four months in:</strong><br />
<br />
The AD’s initial email arrives with the Balboa Press logo and the AD’s email address reflects, “Author Solutions.com.” Enough was enough. I research all names – the AD’s first. I research all companies and their addresses. I telephone the AD. She comes clean re: AuthorHouse/Author Solutions, Inc./ Balboa Press/ Pearson-Penguin(at the time) “Author Solutions, Inc. provides all managerial support to Balboa Press.” I thank her for her honesty - finally. I hung up - beyond livid; I sat quietly, angry at myself for allowing this to occur. I knew better. I am a researcher! An investigative researcher. Then, I reach into my folder and review all the staff at Balboa Press that lied to me. Why?<br />
<br />
I do more research. Again, I feel I am too far in. I find incredulous allegations on the Internet, this time with Balboa Press. Everything I am ensconced in and have been subjected to is on the Internet before me. However, I realize I am fortunate. Since the book was not yet <em>live</em>, I had not yet been exposed to allegations of colorful accounting with regard to royalties. I find an investigation has started into a class action lawsuit against Author Solutions, Inc. and affiliates. <br />
<br />
The AD dismisses my lawsuit query, informing me it is “nothing, this has been going on for years.”<br />
<br />
My second telephone call to the APM ensues. I leave a message. There was no return call. Just as well, as I was livid. I can take much, but being lied to was unacceptable. For, what was to be gained?<br />
<br />
<strong>THE TRANSPARENCY ISSUE</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The Publisher and Director of Channel Sales for Author Solutions, Inc. (PDCS):</strong><br />
<br />
In April 2013, I informed PDCS (he has been referred to as the "gatekeeper" with no power) that Balboa Press/Hay House does not disclose on their website that Author Solutions, Inc (ASI) manages the Balboa Press imprint. I never stated the reverse, that ASI does not disclose their relationship with Balboa Press/Hay House. <br />
<br />
Yet, PDCS continued his cagey attempts by email and telephone conversation to reassure me of ASI’s disclosure “we [Author Solutions, Inc./Penguin Random] have made no attempt to hide our relationship with Hay House, as you can see from the press release below.” <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hay-house-publishing-partners-with-author-solutions-inc-to-launch-self-publishing-division-balboa-press-">http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hay-house-publishing-partners-with-author-solutions-inc-to-launch-self-publishing-division-balboa-press-</a><br />
<br />
PDCS offered several times over, “that if one places ASI in the Balboa Press website search link box the announcement and other articles will come up.” Why would an author do that if they have no clue who on earth ASI was? PDCS never addressed the original complaint, although he stated in an email, "<strong>I did send a note out to make sure no one denies the connection between ASI and Balboa Press."</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Balboa Press needs to state on their website that they are managed by Author Solutions, Inc. - a Penguin Random company. The truth, but a marketing disaster and damaging to Balboa Press. <br />
<br />

RE: BALBOA PRESS PR<br />
From: ( )<br />
Sent: Wed 4/24/13 2:48 PM<br />
To: ( @authorsolutions.com)<br />
<br />
Good afternoon. Thank you for speaking with me the other day.<br />
<br />
Your attachment of the 2010 press release and your statement indicates there might be some confusion. If I may clarify, it is not Author Solutions (ASI) that appears to be masking their relationship with Balboa Press -a division of Hay House; it is just the reverse. <br />
<br />
To reiterate, Balboa Press does not indicate anywhere on their website that their company is aligned with ASI; nor did Balboa Press indicate in verbal or written form that ASI manages and provides publishing services to Balboa Press on their website. Had this been the case, there would be no need of this discussion, as I would not have requested services of Balboa Press; this would not have been in accord with my personal preference and the project.<br />
<br />
That being stated, on the Balboa Press website, the company does present/allude to/suggest in its keen marketing strategy that Balboa Press is aligned with Hay House Publishing. Again, there is no mention of ASI et al and Balboa Press as having any relationship whatsoever. In addition, the Author Agreement (unsigned) for services does not stipulate any relationship between ASI et al and Balboa Press.<br />
<br />
A 2010 press release by ASI does not negate the fact that Balboa Press representatives in various departments had deliberately negated disclosing the relationship/alignment<br />
with ASI. I trust this is as disturbing to you as it was and remains to me. The proactive question that needs answering is, "Why?" <br />
<br />
If an author seeking independent publishing searches the Internet Hay House Publishing, pages upon pages arise, where the press release referring to ASI is not readily found. If one Googles Balboa Press, one will get the same results.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there are now complaints/warnings readily available relating to the aforementioned entities for the non-disclosure of Balboa Press and its relationship with ASI.<br />
<br />
Pertaining to the situation I have encountered, my project services began in October of 2012. The only way I accessed the 2010 press release was through placing ASI with ASI with Balboa Press in an Internet search engine after receiving an email with ASI stamped on the enclosure. This email was received after services were procured with Balboa Press in October of 2012. Now, there would have been no reason to search Balboa and ASI together, since I wasn't aware of their corporate relationship. This relationship was not disclosed during the first sales call, even though I stipulated I was choosing Balboa Press as I did not wish to publish under Author Solutions for this project; nor did I seek services with ASI. Subsequent telephone calls resulted in the same non-disclosure of the ASI managerial component of Balboa Press. Had I been a genie, this would not have been the case; the dots between Balboa and ASI <em>et al </em>would have been connected by me at the time I was seeking publishing services. <br />
<br />
This is troublesome for the author, who ascertains from marketing and vocal disclosure that the publishing services the author has purchased will remain carried out by Balboa<br />
Press, in-house, with the oversight by employees aligned with the original values of Hay House Publishing. Although a fine pitch, this was not the case from inception of requested services and I find it quite disconcerting - even mired, to say the least. It became extremely confusing for the me as the author.<br />
<br />
Another problematic area that I discussed appears in the disclosure of royalties and the COGS. The COGS have shifted in quotes so many times from representative to representative. With regard to retail sale, there is disclosure that the net royalty profit after retail discount, minus COGS is divided in a fifty-fifty split between the publisher (Balboa) and the author. It is my understanding now, that what is not disclosed to the author, is the inflated COGS price given to the author by Balboa Press (the publisher receiving a discount on the COGS from the printer/distributor); thus, Balboa Press would receive funds on the back end from the COGS (due to discounting), which affects the author's royalty net. Therefore, the disclosure of the pricing of the COGS and Balboa's actual royalty (net) + COGS percentage hike, is not transparent. In truth, there is no fifty-fifty royalty split. It appears this is just another undisclosed, creative accounting venture.<br />
<br />
In my case, the approximated quoted royalty (retail sale) has gone from what I thought would be the lowest at $1.52, then lowered to $1.01, and now rests at .51 cents. The COGS originally quoted, have risen several times; the latest from $6.41 to $8.41 when last quoted by ---------- ----. I asked of ------------ what the net royalty for Balboa Press would be for the book sold at retail, he stated ".51." That appears not the case, depending upon the "individual of the day" one speaks with.<br />
<br />
On the telephone call, you spoke of first time authors, how difficult it is, and how their eyes are blinded to what the bottom line will be in earnings with respect to their book being published on demand. This does not relate to my conceptual outcome. However, I thought, "How odd to state that - for marketing targets exactly those people."<br />
<br />
It is apparent from my experience that representatives under the now Penguin/Pearson conglomerate must be on the same page when communicating with clients.<br />
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<strong>BACK TO THE ART DIRECTOR (AD):</strong><br />
<br />
The AD works with me to ‘fix’ the illustrative artwork. I can actually speak with her. “AD, I ordered intricate design. This is a children’s book about angels... It doesn’t take place in a depressed, bombed out trailer park.” The AD corrects errors, along with making illustrative color changes, generally attempting to adhere to the RAD and character form. Again, there were more corrections as some of the illustrations remitted back to me exhibited removal of objects in transference. The AD appears frustrated. I am beyond ill. The sappy heart returns, and I am at a point where I feel bad for her. There was just too much wrong, although she made an effort. Time has run out. Not all designs are intricate detail, but a tad better color wise. Despite all the heart, time, and monetary investment, I should have pulled the entire project then. Instead, I acquiesced and signed off; a monumental mistake.<br />
<br />
<strong>BOOK DESIGN/FORMAT DEPARTMENT</strong><br />
<br />
One would envision formatting would not be an insurmountable task, since there is a formatting department. I was informed by SC, this would be “much easier.” Wrong.<br />
<br />
The first galley format came back beyond unacceptable. Again, there was no oversight. The text did not coincide with the illustrations. The margins were all over the place and not congruent from page to page. One would assume the Design department understood that children’s book illustrations bring the ‘accompanying’ text word to life. In some cases, the illustrations were two pages ahead or behind the text, even with an “illustrative insert note” placed within the body of the text that was provided to the format department. I had to explain to the department through SC that the text had to coincide with the illustrations, reiterating that the illustrations make the text <em>pop</em>. The formatter apparently could not figure it out. Of course, that would involve brain exertion and maybe a bit of ingenuity.<br />
<br />
Being a novice, I asked the Design department to enlarge the text font (indirectly as the author is not allowed to speak to them either), hopeful, that may have helped. It did not help. Had I been allowed to have access to an unlocked pdf. file, it would have been a breeze to remedy.<br />
<br />
I took the weekend and studied up on formatting. I printed out the book’s pages, combed over the book, shifted pages and margins, then so easily, the answer came to me.<br />
<br />
In order to achieve this end, I had them add the cover illustration into the galley of the book, which remedied the illustration and text malady. In addition, I requested that the margins be congruent. The galley would be a done deal.<br />
<br />
It is important to note, that the author becomes so entrenched in correcting the publisher’s mistakes, that the author such as myself, misses their mistakes. At no time in any of the process to make my life easier with the corrections, both illustrative and textual did Balboa Press allow me access to an unlocked pdf. file. <br />
<br />
Honestly, it would have saved weeks of toil and heartache. The CSR tells me “there is no way to unlock the pdf. - it’s adobe.” Do they make this stuff up as they go along?<br />
<br />
<strong>Corrections</strong><br />
<br />
I missed numerous errors in the text body that were my own. There were publisher error corrections. The author is allowed 50 corrections, aside from publisher error. I went over the allotted correction amount, so I telephoned my CIC and informed her that I needed to make payment for the overage. She stated, “Don’t worry about it, if it’s under 100, it’s okay.” I thanked her. It is important to note, that since there was little oversight, each time the publisher made corrections to the galley text, the author would need to go through the entire manuscript to be sure the referenced text corrections were made.<br />
<br />
When the corrected text galley came back, there were more needed corrections. I felt safe as I would be still under 100. The CIC informed me that since this was the third time, there would be a charge. I stated that I thought this would be acceptable, since I was still under 100 corrections. Logic did not dictate. She reiterated that there would be a charge now.<br />
<br />
Errors appeared from corrected text submitted online for the back cover elements. I paid to have that change. The publisher corrected the book title for me in the acknowledgement section placing it in italics. I thanked them. In the same paragraph and subsequent paragraphs, the title was left out of italics. I paid for the remaining title errors to be placed in italics. <br />
<br />
One lesson I will take with me, is that no matter how many times ones book is edited, it is a crap shoot. I have read so many traditionally published books with numerous errors, including substantive errors (as of late). Perfection does not exist.<br />

This is a book, professionally edited by a known author, previous editor, and a publisher at a discounted rate of $1,500.00. Afterward, various, kind-hearted individuals edited the book thirty times over, including me. Did the original edit help? Well, if the reader has stayed with this article so far... It made me a better editor of my work, helped me reflect more, and as I learned from screenwriting, the editor’s call is subjective aside from grammatical mechanics, which were obviously missed by the editor. In all fairness, a work coming from a first time author is not exactly inviting. Would I hire another editor? Perhaps, when the taste left behind is more palatable; as a fresh eye can be helpful to a bleary one. I definitely would not hire an editor that questions how a mother can get into a Little Tykes Playhouse, since with two little girls, I practically lived in one!<br />
<br />
<strong>Online Submissions:</strong><br />
<br />
There were several submissions to be uploaded online (early on), under the author's account, which included the synopsis, about the author, the author picture, acknowledgements, etc. The author may edit these submissions, until access by the author is closed out. It was clear, no one bothered to note changes. In addition, my picture that was uploaded was missing from the back cover when I was given the final cover sign-off. <br />
<br />
In the dedication section, the formatter could not locate the submitted text dedication online, so I emailed it to my CIC. The corrected galley text remitted to me included the dedication I had forwarded. The dedication showed my spacing error in my email, which told me the formatter just cut the three dedication lines from the email and pasted it into the galley without formatting.<br />
<br />
The copyright page exhibited my pen name for copyright, instead of my given name, which was provided in online submissions. An entity I never heard of was cited, "Any people depicted in stock imagery provided by Thinkstock are models, and such images are being used for illustrative purposes only.” “Certain stock imagery © Thinkstock.” I did not know who this entity was, and since the illustrations procured were to be created/original work from the RAD, or so I thought, I asked that this be removed. The CSR complied to remove “Thinkstock” and correct my copyright name.<br />
<br />
Throughout the entire debacle I received “surveys” from a male I assumed was in customer service at Balboa Press. I never replied - obviously. Something was troubling me, but I set it aside.<br />
<br />
The book was as ready for production as possible. I was told production copy was sent to the printer and distributor. Since there were so many corrections and I did not trust Balboa Press with any oversight, I requested from another CSR a copy of the book file sent to the printer. The cover was signed off on prior with the author picture, the galley appeared correct, but the back cover was not corrected from online corrections filed on the Balboa website. Two commas were still left in. Therefore, at my request, Balboa Press halted production with the printer, I paid $70.00 to have the two commas removed, and I received confirmation as such that the commas were removed. <br />
<br />
<strong>ROYALTIES - MORE BOMBS DROP</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Book Consultant (BC)</strong><br />
<br />
The BC telephones, a very amicable individual with a sense of humor. They will send a book for my review. The book arrives and I immediately look at the back cover elements. Relief sets in as my photo is displayed and the two commas have been removed. I scan from the back of the book forward regarding the galley text and all appears corrected. In addition, BC then informs me that the royalty I will be receiving is $0.51. He states that the COGS for my book is $8.41. Balboa Press would receive $0.51cents and so would I. I went quiet, and then stated that this was unacceptable. I asked for confirmation that Balboa Press would only receive $0.51 cents. I was told, “Yes.” <br />
<br />
I was beyond disgusted, beyond upset, and went back to research. It appears Balboa Press/ASI inflates the cost of goods, telling the author that the printer is charging stated amount. Under the scenario, Balboa Press/ASI receive a discount from the printer and distributor, so that the COGS quoted to the author is untrue. The publisher essentially receives a “back-end” on the COGS. So, for Balboa Press/ASI to state that they only receive $0.51 is a misrepresentation at the very least. I recalculated the printing and distribution cost from the printer’s pricing chart. Needless to say, the figures I was quoted did not add up. Frequently blamed for the low royalties were Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. The publisher stated that these entities receive a 55% discount, which is true in many cases. However, it is not true in all cases. Another small publishing entity disclosed to me that because they are a customer in good standing Amazon accepts discounting their books by 20%. Balboa Press under Author Solutions, Inc. management and now, the Penguin/Random conglomerate is a large publishing entity. It does not disclose to authors whether they receive a back-end on their quoted 55% discount to Amazon. So, in actuality, Balboa Press/ASI could be charged at a 20% discount from Amazon per book, yet Balboa tells the authors their book is 55% discounted by Amazon. So, figure it out. Where does the 35% end up?<br />
<br />
<strong>Balboa Press Royalty calculations omit facts:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>How does Balboa Press calculate royalty payments?</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
“Royalties are based on the payments we actually receive from the sale of printed or electronic (e-book) copies of your book, minus any shipping and handling charges or sales and use taxes. Also, we offer discounts to retail and wholesale customers, so the royalty amount you receive depends on what type of customer bought your book and any discount they received. Retail discounts range between 36 and 55 percent.”<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">ROYALTY CALCULATION FOR MY BOOK SUMMATION:</span></strong><br />
<br />
The COGS quoted for my book - $8.41. The actual COGS is $5.70. according to Lightning Source. Balboa Press/Author Solutions, Inc. appears to have inflated the COGS for this book by 2.71. Add $0.51 to the inflated price and it equals $3.22. Balboa Press has inflated the price of the COGS over 30% before quoting the COGS to the author.<br />
<br />
On various dates, the retail discount stated on the Balboa website has changed. At times, it has been listed as 48%.<br />
<br />
Quoted from the Balboa Press website: <br />
<br />
Here's an example of a common sales transaction:<br />
<br />
"The cover price (list price) for your book is $17.95. Your Balboa Press royalty rate is 50 percent. A retailer places an order for your book through Ingram Book Company, a wholesaler. Ingram, in turn, purchases your book from Balboa Press at a 55 percent discount (our standard discount to wholesalers). Ingram then resells the book to the retailer. Your royalty on this sale of your soft cover book will be calculated as follows:<br />
Retail Sale Example:<br />
$17.95 (SRP "Suggested Retail Price")<br />
- $9.87 (55% Retail Discount)<br />
= $8.08 (Net Retail Discount) <br />
- $4.97 (COGS "Cost of Goods Sold") <br />
= $3.11 (Net COGS)<br />
x 50% (Royalty Rate) <br />
= $1.56 (Royalty Earned from a retail sale)<br />
Web Sale Example:<br />
$17.95 (SRP "Suggested Retail Price")<br />
- $4.97 (COGS "Cost of Goods Sold")<br />
= $12.98 (Net COGS)<br />
x 50% (Royalty Rate)<br />
= $6.49 (Royalty Earned from a web sale)"<br />

As far as Ebook sales royalties, Balboa Press states :<br />
<br />
“You will receive 50 percent of the payments received from the sales of your e-book, less any distribution and technology fees, taxes and returns. Royalties will not be paid on copies provided free of charge or sold to the author.”<br />
<br />
<strong>MORE BOMBS DROP - April 2013</strong><br />
<br />
Do not be shocked if your book shows up as a pdf. file for sale on various websites. Balboa Press CSR stated that the various electronic pdf. versions will carry a separate ISBN.<br />
<br />
The CSR states that the book is being converted to digital files for Ebook, etc. I have no clue when the book will go live. I am online setting up a Facebook page for the book. I scan the Internet through Google search to check if it is picking up the title of my book on its Facebook page. I notice two websites are offering my book in all types of versions. I have not seen the digital Ebook conversion files, and I have no idea pdf. file versions would be sold or distributed. My book has not even gone live, yet it is available on Deastore and Lybrary.com. I telephone Deastore at 8:30 PM that night. I asked how it was possible that they are offering my book if it has not been published yet. The gentleman answers, “You will have to speak with the distributor. We get it from them.”<br />
<br />
I check out the back cover on these websites. The two commas removed during corrections are still there. Which tells me the book was distributed to Deastore and Lybrary.com before the final Cover Sign-Off (CSO). I go to Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble's website - sure enough the book is available. I telephone Customer Service at Balboa Press and I am informed the book has not gone live yet, that I must be mistaken. “It must be the pdf. copy.” I am aghast, "Huh? How is that possible?The book has not gone live yet. It's still being converted for digital files.” I continue to state further that it is not the corrected back cover; the book is now offered on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble with the incorrect cover. The CSR states that Deastore and Lybrary.com are aligned with Amazon. So, Amazon is blamed now; yet, Deastore tells me to contact the distributor.<br />
<br />
I call the CSR back and request that the book, pdf., and digital files are removed from websites, until published with the corrected back cover.<br />
<br />
The CSR complies, stating that she will notify the printer and distributor. Corrections are made to files to correct the back cover. During which time, I am receiving calls to order more books at a discounted price from the marketing/book consultants and the like at Balboa Press/Author Solutions, Inc. After back cover corrections are complete, I request my BC to ship the ten books as part of the ordered package. <br />
<br />
The next telephone conversation is with a another CSR, who informs me she is on the Deastore site as we speak, and the various versions of the book have been removed. I was not on the computer at the time of the call. When I hang up the phone, I access the Deastore website and the book in various versions is still on their website.<br />
<br />
The next problem arises with the paid for service of ensuring the “Look Inside Feature” of the book is available on websites. It takes Balboa Press weeks, when Amazon offers it will take 24 to 48 hours, but frequently is up within hours. This feature is finally uploaded to Amazon, but cites the end of the book, offering the plot resolution. I call Amazon myself and ask them to pull the “Look Inside Feature,” until the correct pages are given from the beginning of the book - the teaser. Balboa Press blames Amazon.<br />
<br />
I have to commend the Amazon staff, for they were very supportive and professional throughout this entire process. It is weeks later and the feature is still not up on the Barnes and Noble website. The manager of the CSR department states that she does not know what is the hold up on Barnes and Noble. “It is clearly a problem with Barnes and Noble.” Right. The "Look Inside Feature" is corrected on Amazon; it is for the Ebook only and sloppy. The manager of the CSR department, in a curt, dismissive fashion, refused to re-submit the files for the “Look Inside Feature” for the print book. She said the feature for the Ebook is sufficient. <br />
<br />
<strong>BOOKS ARRIVE - A HUGE BOMB DROPS</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The ten books arrive. I take the package to church and quickly remove a few books to hand out to the children. Sitting on a bench, two little girls begin to skim through the book, smiling. I watch them as they lift the book, exposing the cover. My eyes mirror a freaked out <em>Roadrunner</em>. <br />
<br />
One of the girls asks, “What's the matter?” I gracefully take the books and calmly reply, “You know what, I am going to bring these back when they finish the cover.”<br />
<br />
The cover was published with the incorrect title. So focused on the actual published date of the book (denied by Balboa Press), and the incorrect back cover, I missed one important issue.<br />
<br />
It never dawned on me that production would err on the title.<br />
<br />
Had I not requested the pdf. file from Balboa Press earlier, I would have been up the creek without a paddle. Had I not approved the correct final cover and title with the CSO (cover sign-off) I would have had no recourse. Had I not found a decent human being that actually felt sorry for me...<br />
<br />
I received an apology. The BC, referring to management’s decision, said that they would make corrections with all entities. He further offered that I was welcome to make any changes to the text galley that I would like. I replied, “I only wish the book title to be corrected. I do not need the galley to be changed. I only wish for the services I procured.” <br />
<br />
I then got nervous. “Is there something wrong with the galley, too?” He replied, “No, just if you want to change anything, we’ll take care of it.” <br />
<br />
I had lost weeks in advertising, as planned publicity was at a standstill. Links, blogs, twitters, and pages had to be pulled quickly from the Internet. The foundation website was halted. Worse... a few friends, family, and colleagues either purchased the book with the incorrect title, or were waiting for an autographed copy. I wrote an apology on behalf of Balboa Press on the FB page created where I had over 20,000 views in the few days prior to the book going live. For the Children Left Behind Foundation’s creation would surely take a back seat. Yet, ASI/Balboa Press would make changes to the galley, if I wished.<br />
<br />
I sent a reply email off to the PDSC reconfirming the lack of transparency regarding the Balboa Press relationship with ASI. In addition, I notified him that I was thankful I did not place an offset print order of 5,000 books, since the book was published under the wrong title. I am sure he was as elated as I was.<br />

Dear ------,<br />
<br />
Good afternoon. <br />
<br />
I did not get to respond to your email below, as I have been busy addressing other fiascos with the publishing of my book with the Balboa Press imprint.<br />
<br />
With all due respect and for the record, I honestly feel your response below sends my point home. Nary a soul should find a need to place Author Solutions in the Balboa Press, A Division of Hay House, website search box. That is simply absurd. <br />
<br />
I stand by my previous statements. There is no transparency on the part of Balboa Press (website included) to disclose to potential authors requesting publishing services that Balboa Press is in any way aligned with Author Solutions, managerial, or otherwise. <br />
<br />
This was not disclosed to me after repeated inquiry to a myriad of individuals in various departments, beginning with the sales department. <br />
<br />
Regarding the "Offset Print," I am sincerely thankful I held off ordering 5,000. books from Balboa Press/Author Solutions, since my book was published, marketed, and sold with the incorrect title... <br />
<br />
Thank you for your attention.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

Hi --------<br />
<br />
I asked -------- to copy me on the issues you had today and how they were being resolved.<br />
<br />
The only reason I sent you the link was to show you that there had been no conscious attempt to hide the relationship between ASI and Hay House with regards to Balboa Press, and that the relationship is referenced 42 times on the site. We also send out press releases about our publishing partnerships that are picked up by both the writers and publishing press. There is no plan to hide the relationships.<br />
<br />
<strong>I did send a note out to make sure no one denies the connection between ASI and Balboa Press.</strong> We have no reason to deny it, and in fact we celebrate it when any of our authors are picked up by our traditional publishing partners.<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you do want to proceed with an offset print run in the future.<br />
All the best,<br />

<strong>THE END</strong><br />
<br />
Far too tardy, I had to ensure all my ducks were in a row. As a child advocate, I knew the routine. I requested my signed contract/agreement from a CSR as I could not locate a signed copy. I was informed that I do not have one. I asked, “Why?” She offered, “When you pay for services it is assumed you are in agreement.” Seriously? I located the “author agreement” in an email from Balboa Press that was sent along with other attachments.<br />
<br />
After more research and much discussion, even with my BC, I decided to pull the book. There was no feasible way the book would recover with this imprint and lack of <br />
managerial oversight. I felt it was a pure effort for a good cause that was diminished by ASI managerial services. Those staff members that were decent are to be commended for their decency, but in actuality, they have no input whatsoever.<br />
<br />
I contacted the CSR department to inquire about receiving the production files as I had read nightmares about it. My question was not sufficiently addressed after the first inquiry.<br />

Dear -------,<br />
<br />
Good morning.<br />
<br />
I appreciate your response. However, I have asked specific questions to which I need addressed, other than the Balboa Press logo being removed.<br />
<br />
Since your previous email stated the fee for the files, that was not part of my query.<br />
<br />
Please review the questions I had earlier submitted (below) and, if at all possible, provide answers so that I can move forward, knowing what to expect.<br />
<br />
• How will the production design files be remitted back to me? <br />
Will the cover design file, illustration files, and galley file be released as separate files? In what form is each of the aforementioned files.<br />
• If the production design files are in pdf format, will all 'security' properties (copy, edit, etc) on the files be removed? <br />
• Do the files remitted include the Ebook conversion file?<br />
• Will all files be remitted without watermarks and without Balboa Press logos?<br />
<br />
I am sure you understand that I am trying to avoid any further mishaps as in my book being published with the wrong title. At this point, I certainly do not wish to remit payment for files that will be deemed useless because of lack of oversight, watermarks et al. Production design files need be production ready. Essentially, I need to feel secure that this will be the case.<br />
<br />
If you need help clarifying/responding to the above questions, perhaps ----- ------- or someone similar in production/design management can address the questions...<br />

<strong>There is more… but first:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>REQUESTING A REFUND THROUGH THE RESOLUTIONS DEPARTMENT:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Upon requesting a refund, my BC informed me that I would need to speak with a gentleman in the Resolutions department. My BC gave me his name. Then, it hit me. My survey emails from Balboa Press and the iUniverse individual named in the Author Solutions, Inc. class action lawsuit were the same person. I had heard about this individual from other authors. “There is no way I wish to speak with him.” BC replied, “You have no choice if you wish a refund.”<br />
<br />
I will not pass judgment, but will say this individual is no gentleman; he certainly earned his condescending notoriety. After one of the most horrid calls of my career, he offered a refund for the publishing package; he would not refund the Illustrative package as I had signed off on it, even though it was not "intricate design." But, not without interjecting, that the COGS/royalty <em>scenario</em> was about the only thing I had correct.<br />
<br />
On the second telephone call, I accepted the refund offer for the publishing package. For me, this illustrated culpability on the part of Balboa Press/ASI, now under Penguin Random.<br />
<br />
The Resolutions manager curiously kept stating that the files I would receive after purchase were not production ready files. I then realized he had to have access to my email to Customer Service before him. “My two cents, for what it’s worth, don’t purchase the production files. The files are just pdf. files. Your new publisher will want to reformat the book anyway.” I thought, "That’s odd. Now this individual is humane?” Go figure.<br />
<br />
<strong>BACK TO THE CSR REGARDING THE PRODUCTION FILES:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
I telephoned the CSR that offered up his take on the production files in the above emails. Obviously, he did not take my advice and ask a director. I asked him how he could furbish me with false information. He replied, “I am sorry. I assumed the production files purchased by the author would be usable; they are not. I was corrected.”<br />
<br />
This CSR had no clue as to the reliability of the information he was providing me. In all fairness, he probably thought that integrity dictated, “Yes, these are production ready files.” I would like to think he generated false information with good intentions. He learned from the brass otherwise.<br />
<br />
I kept logs of all telephone conversations and names. I forwarded emails exchanged between Balboa Press, ASI, and myself to a colleague; later to an attorney. Since my residence is in a two-party state, I did not record the telephone conversations, although there were those present that could attest to the telephone conversations after their shock had subsided... After awhile, even they were no longer entertained.<br />
<br />
<strong>Closing statement:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
To my regretful error, I never connected the dots between Balboa Press, a division of Hay House and Author Solutions, Inc. Did I ask the <em>right </em>questions? Surely a seasoned veteran of this industry would have done better, but in the throws of it all, I tackled the situations that arose to the best of my ability.<br />
<br />
The million-dollar question around the net is how Louise L. Hay of Hay House could allow her life’s work to be mired in this fashion. Other authors and book consultants continuously chime, “If Louise Hay knew what Author Solutions, Inc. has done to her name…” Simply stated, the answer to the million-dollar question is, “It is a multi-million dollar venture.”<br />
<br />
A colleague interjects, “How could Louise Hay not know all this? If I am ever in her presence I will surely ask!! She's at a conference with other spiritual leaders right now. I mean she publishes for people like Depak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, etc. Do they get special treatment? Or what?” Of course they do.<br />
<br />
Another individual offers, “If Hay knows and is not doing anything... I have lost faith in her possessing any goodness and it makes all her spiritual guidance worthless.”<br />
<br />
Louise L. Hay is 86-years-old, not that her age alludes to any excuse. It is as if she is a legend amongst spiritual authors and practitioners. She might go into the office once a month... Sources state that Reid Tracy rules her imprint and affiliate empires with "an iron fist." Who knows what is true.<br />
<br />
The underlings, like the young CSR's, for the most part were very gracious; a few appeared bored, but it was clear their lack of knowledge was an impediment. <br />
<br />
However, when I start to feel empathy for a lovely 86-year-old spiritual icon, possibly being taken advantage of, or intentionally left out of the loop and the 'happy' young CSR's (I envision Muffy, her ponytail or two swinging in the air from the 1950's), I suddenly revert to a reality check. This book was something special, nowhere near perfect, but it was to benefit advocacy and aid for special needs children. That's the reality check. I would rather be thankful for competence, than be stroked with sugar. <br />
<br />
It is not that difficult to use a little ingenuity when formatting a book. The author has paid for this service. It is not the author's responsibility to format the book. It is not the author's responsibility to explain to the format department that illustrative text needs to be aligned with the illustrations. If one cannot read the RAD form in the language with which it was written to create illustrations - hey, there is a problem. Or, if there is confusion with understanding what the author was attempting to convey to the illustrator, it does not take a rocket scientist to comprehend that the illustrator needs to be in contact with the author. It would help if there was competent oversight in each department to diminish the issues that arose like, "Oops, the book was published with the incorrect title."<br />
<br />
I would have been thankful had the book not been ill-designed and ill-formatted, as one book designer put it as gently as possible, omitting expletives of course, as "something out of the 1950's."<br />
<br />
By grace, I have found <em>professional</em> individuals with talent, ingenuity, heart, and integrity to which I am thankful. So can you!<br />
<br />
In solidarity,<br />

Malala Yousafzai, is a Pakistani teenager who was shot by cowardly, pathetic, inhumane Taliban fighters. Nearly killed for advocating education and the right of girls to attend school, Malala Yousafzai emerges victorious in mind, body, and spirit as she addresses the U.N. Youth Assembly in New York.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>According to sources, it appears CRC's Aspen Education has plans to close a few of their more notorious programs for teens within the next few weeks.</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>In addition, it is reported that many staff members were clueless. Hopefully, families have been informed and this will not be an instant replay of the former Hidden Lake Academy/Ridge Creek School facility closing in Georgia - only on a grander scale.</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>It would be helpful to inform the U.S. State Department to remove these facilities from their recommendation list for families. Apparently, CRC/Aspen Education has more clout than advocates and children with Washington</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Facility programs that sources state have been flagged for closing:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><strong>Academy at Swift River - Massachusetts</strong></li>
<li><strong>Talisman - North Carolina</strong></li>
<li><strong>Stone Mountain - North Carolina</strong></li>
<li><strong>SUWS of Idaho</strong></li>
<li><strong>Adirondeck Leadership - Upstate N.Y.</strong></li>
</ul>
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Although we applaud CRC Health/Aspen Education on their purported decision, if true, sadly, Cooper Canyon and Island View do not appear on the list - along with the rest of the lot. One can dream.</strong><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: cyan;">Officials appear surprised that Mr. Croke
earns his livelihood as an educational consultant predominantly for Special
Needs children and their families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often
situations arise that require travel to </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: cyan;">various facilities/programs to address the
needs and meet with children already attending programs.</span> <span style="color: cyan;">Unless Mr. Croke
advises the various facilities and programs he calls upon of the restrictions
the court has imposed on him regarding his probation, the facilities will not
be aware of the fact that by order of the court, he cannot be alone with any
child under the age of 18. Non-compliance of court-ordered restrictions could
endanger children enrolled at the facility/program, and expose said facility to
legal damages.</span> <span style="color: cyan;">One would assume Mr. Croke has restructured his consulting firm,
as with Skype, and hired additional educational consultants for travel issues
that may arise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Many states require a program/facility to
check arrest record histories of their staff. However, educational consultant’s
arrest records are not a pre-requisite – placement of a child in a residential
treatment program/facility and the generation of funds created by that placement
is the primary incentive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

but does takes issue with the transparency obviously lacking on the Family
Light website. It is understandable why Mr. Croke is less than forthcoming, but
his rhetoric is cagey at best and dishonest at worst. Readers are encouraged to
look at the Family Light website, read the reasoning offered by Mr. Croke for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">staff</i> not wanting to be alone with
minors, and reach their own conclusion. There is no reason given for policy
changes at Family Light other than “in the current climate we are increasingly
uncomfortable…”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
