According to court records, doc. 64 FILED 09-27-09 PAGES 9-11, under "RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL BUDGET" SEPT. 2009- AUG. 2010 , "RIDGE CREEK WILDERNESS" and "CREEKSIDE" BUDGETS are on hold "PENDING RELEASE OF FUNDS FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA WHICH HAS PLACED A FREEZE ON ALL PLACEMENTS BY THE DJJ AND DEFCS.

** " THE PROJECTED INCOME FROM RCW AND CREEKSIDE WAS TO BE 75,000. PER MONTH PROGRAM AND CAN BE ACTIVATED IN TWO DAYS WITH MINIMAL OPERATIONAL COST."

NICE JOB ORS.. DO THE FAMILIES PLACING THEIR CHILDREN AT RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL KNOW THIS? DO THE ED. CONS KNOW THIS?

DOES THE TOWN COUNCIL KNOW THIS?

So Bucci got himself a contract with the State of Georgia to take in kids from the Department of Juvenile Justice? I seriously doubt the town of Dahlonega is aware of this nor are parents of potential students.

I'd like to hear from the Ed Cons. Did Bucci tell you about this?

We heard a rumor that one of Bucci's long time employees quit because she was scared to death of the kids they were bringing in? Care to let us know if that's true Ms. Bell?

Unlike 'our time' re: "we don't take court ordered children", what will be the new spin? Separate dorms? Officers stationed less than a quarter mile away? Lock down?
Only one problem, Ridge Creek Wilderness is not being advertised as a DJJ Private Contract facility and what corporation is Creekside listed under? Ridge Creek, Inc.?

you mean kristen bell? wasn't that years ago?

at that point in time at HLA, i would not be surprised. A bunch of staff were concerned about the kids bucci was bringing in around that time. it all started around 2004....that's when they started bringing all the crazies. there was a sudden shift in demographics around that time. HLA went from kids who had trouble with drugs, sex, cutting, eating, etc....to kids who were either seriously deranged or completely normal with minor difficulties growing up. I remember this one kid...chris la***an, he was a complete reverse peadophile. He would seek out (pre-program) sexual encounters with random old men at truck stops and whatnot. when he got into the program, he somehow managed to convince a number of seemingly straight guys to have sex with him. or another kid...i forgot his name.....from canada....he was completely deranged, and believed in witchcraft and whatnot. not a healthy and intelligent interest in the occult - he was someone who would kill and rape a ten year old if some old book said it would give him some sort of power. He'd write "all work and no play makes johnny a dull boy" over and over and over on all of his restriction assignments, journals, and homework. that, cartoons of him doing some seriously sick shit to various staff. and then there was that time he decided to "go for a walk", and just somehow wandered off campus without anyone noticing. so he walked off into the georgia wilderness with just the clothes on his back. The whole campus went on lockdown, and it sent all the staff into a frenzy. He just walked around, and eventually stumbled on the ranger camp and claimed he was a lost hiker. He then managed to make friends with the rangers, got some water and MRE's from them, and sat around for a bit playing cards. then mark keith walks by and was like "what the fuck is this HLA kid doing on this base?!"....when he came back it was as if he just spent the day in the park. he didnt seem to notice that the entire campus was spun into a frenzy over his disappearance, or that he could have easily died from dehydration/starvation/bears/crazy hillbilies/hypothermia/etc. most kids spend weeks preparing to run away (at least the serious ones; the ones that just want attention just walk down the road). they hoard food, prepare makeshift backpacks, plan their routs, steal maps.......this kid just walked off on a whim.

these new new kids at from the justice system...there going to be a thousand times worse. bucci will be overwhelmed. he doesnt know how to deal with crackheads and psychopaths, just spoiled brats.

Amen to ^that^. You hit it dead on the head. He's going to be in deep shit very soon. I've dealt with the worst of the worst from Juvie and Lenny and his little crew of would-be-child-jailers are in for big trouble. I can smell the lawsuits already and he hasn't even opened the doors yet.

Eyup, definitely a world of difference between adjudicated youth and program youth. Buchi's going to be in for a huge surprise.

I can't wait until the crap hits the fan when the fine folks in Dahlonega figure out what ol' Bucci's up to now. What until one of those kids gets loose and rapes/robs/murders a visitor to Dahlonega. That will be great for tourism.

not that something like that hasnt happened before, there have been incidents of kids stealing from stores and individuals around town and of kids getting help from locals getting drugs onto campus. Personally, the day i graduated, on my way out, when i stopped by the town, i stuffed my pockets absolutely full of crap from the dahlonega general store - two cob pipes, an old pocket knife, and some crystals. I also filled up a big thermos full of coffee from the "honor system" coffeepot and never paid for it... I traded the knife, crystals and one of the pipes for a 20 bag of bud and I used the other cob pipe to smoke my first bowl of ganj out of the place as soon as i got home as a big FUCK YOU to that whole town. muahahahahaa.

HLA actually turned me into a bit of a thief. I'd steal from anywhere we stopped for off-campus trips. when we went to a waterpark, i stole five hundred bucks out of people's wallets in the locker room (damn those locks were easy!). Then i used that money to buy myself a good time from the night staff - dip, ciggs, some crank, some weed, some pills, fast-food, candy, soda, cell phone usage, per-hour porn mag rentals... they also brought around a handle of local georgia moonshine dyed pink to look like our mouthwash, in our used mouthwash bottles, brought in increments (as we'd finish out "mouthwash" we'd trade in the containers to be refilled; anyone familiar with HLA's waterbottle policy knows exactly why). I brought some "mouthwash" down to the SAC once hidden in my pantleg, and gave like twenty kids a nice big squirt of 'wash' into their soda....they were forever grateful and i could get anything out of those kids the rest of my time there, and no one ever found out about my little cartel. When someone was going to narc, my eyes and ears let me know, and i made that narc either very comfortable or very uncomfortable. things were going so good, on my last visit, three months before grad, i smuggled back two grand up my asshole and threw a mighty fine party, cocaine & all...

Bucci should hire this kid as a consultant. HLA was and the new place will be very dangerous to kids, staff and the local populus.

Bucci's thinking is so limited the only thing he's ever imagined "keistering" is a fat cock from a male hooker. So naive.

To reiterate, it is a sad state of affairs when the Office of Regulatory Services(ORS), who is there to protect the children and families, sanctioned the contracts and placement of DJJ and DFCS children at Ridge Creek Wilderness and the mythical Creekside( which neither agency appears to be aware of it's existence, although in the bankruptcy papers). In conversations with both the DJJ (yesterday) and DCFS(today), separately each individual cited the ORS as THE major player involved in the contracts and placement of children at RCW. There seems to be confusion as to whether or not a "freeze" has affected child placement by either entity or if, in fact, placement has commenced. Although there are DJJ children who are also under DCFS care system, it is not acceptable to place DCFS foster children that are not part of the DJJ system at Ridge Creek Wilderness. It is not acceptable to place DJJ children at RIdge Creek Wilderness, period. The level of care that all these children need is simply not available. It is not acceptable to market RIdge Creek Wilderness to families that are not in the DJJ system, while currently housing or proposing to house Juvenile Offenders, freeze or no freeze. According to Educational Consultants, both Ridge Creek School and Ridge Creek Wilderness are also being marketed to Educational Consultants without disclosure of the DJJ and DCFS contracts. I am sure Tom Croke of "FAMILY LIGHT" would not have neglected to leave this part out in his latest 'kudo' review of Ridge Creek School . Ridge Creek Wilderness contract, according to the DJJ Private Contracts Department, is for room, board and oversight which was "thought" to have been granted in 2008. 20 conversations later, who knows? Welcome to Georgia. ORS - Carol Winstead and Keith Bostick are responsible for allowing this debacle, along with whomever is pulling their strings. I don't know who's payroll they are on, but it should definitely not be The Peoples.

In summation, Ridge Creek School /Ridge Creek Wilderness "College Prep with a Wilderness TWIST"? Some "TWIST".

Now? NOW? He's always been in the jail business. He's just guaranteed a steady stream of income with this new venture. No pesky parents to deal with. We all know the state doesn't check on these kids like the parents do.

poor people go to jail, rich people go to rehab [TBS, RTC, wilderness, etc}.

Private prisons contracted by the government are flourishing throughout the country. This is SOP of late in many backwards-minded states.

When Rich people go to rehab, they are generally slightly more well behaved and level-headed - they have a goals for after they are released such as college, so they are easier to deal with, rarely exhibiting psychopathic behaviors. For any misbehaviors, a little PT and restricted privileges does the trick. Those kids rarely ever get the chance to descend into bona-fide dope-fiend land. They are sent away before they get very far usually.

When poor people go to jail, they go to jail because their parents cant afford to get a lawyer and send them some place nice. They are the system's problem, not the parents, and the parents are powerless to do anything about it. They were raised by the system, and most will be in the system the rest of their lives, and the kids themselves know it. It's a self-fulling prophecy for many of them. They dont care about college, they want to prove themselves to be the most badass motherfuckers around. Juvies are full of little wannabe scarfaces. Then there will be those kids that are total drug addicts because they grew up on the streets and started doing meth at 13 and only get caught at 16 etc etc....all combined with the kids that just started experimenting or something and found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The social dynamic of jails and juvies is significantly different than anything buccelatto has ever dealt with successfully (strictly safety) before. Knowing him and his record, he will put a bunch of crazies in with a bunch of "wrong place wrong timers", and carnage will ensue. Remember what happened with that girl that got raped with a tree limb? What do you think will happen when there are twenty of those hannibal lecters running around in the same place? What will bucci do when you have people form gangs, completely defy and shrug off all punishment, start stabbing each other, extorting each other, raping each other, etc?
