Punishment is not the goal, only to try and do what i can to prevent others from being hurt by Bob in the future.  I promise that I would rather forget everything bad that happened and move on, but he has proven that he is unwilling/unable to stop taking advantage of people in THEIR times of need. He has to stop hurting others. If you are involved in his life please help him to stop. This is all I care about concerning this issue.

How do you KNOW that he has and is currently taking advantage of people? I have only known about people that he has helped. Maybe you are speculating!

bob does not live on 4121 birch elmo rd.
bob is broke, making it, but broke. there was no stash, that he kept.  he is very very arrogant, and still acts like he owns the old wellspring farm, but he doesnt. he didn't recieve a penny for it.  he can't be half as smart as he thinks he is.  if he was he would of handled his money a lot differently.  like working on paying off some land or biuldings, etc.  before expanding his institution.  instead he mastered the art of financing more things, and made payments on everything.  he never really owned much.  but he acts like he does, b/c he is so cocky, and arrogant.  bottom line...he cannot manage money or the "wellspring institution" would not of shut down SO quickly, it was operating on a paycheck to paycheck basis.  that is why it shut down so quickly, when clients funds werent coming in.  the attitude that he is a big shot caught up with him.  the truth is there is wrong on both sides.  there is no doubt that bob and wellspring helped many people, there was no abuse, just angry punk kids who needed someone to keep them in line, and they are mad because they were kept somewhere that didnt put up with stuff their parents did.  there is also no doubt that bob kept parents money, and it was wrong.  they will never get it back.  you cant get blood from a stone. the staff was way overpaid and everything was financed,  it was a disaster waiting to happen. an insitution with that much money coming in should not of crumbled that quickly, the $$ was not handled correctly...plain and simple. what is ironic, is that people pay bob to council him, when it is him who needs to be counciled

Some of the staff were grossly overpaid.  Some were paid reasonably.  Some were grossly underpaid.  I know first hand.

I'm so sorry that so many of you are in pain because of Bob Gluhareff.  He was once such a great counselor to kids.  I know, because I had him as a teacher/counselor in high school.  He listened to us when other adults would not.  He could always be counted on to be discreet, and honest in the advice he gave. He was a friend to those of us who were struggling with home lives that lacked guidance and sanity.  
I know I have not heard both sides, but I have heard enough.  I looked Bob up because now I have a daughter who is in need of a non-biased listening ear.  But thanks to all of you and the free flow of information online, I'll be looking elsewhere.  
What happened to you, Bob?  Where is the man I knew when I was a teen?

Not very many people knew what acctually went on behind scenes, I was one of few who had personal contact with numerous staff members on the fact of why wellspring closed.  I will not comment who nor when, I will say 99% of what has been said went on.  There is more stuff that went on that no student will ever know, I was one student who was able to gain acess to inside conversation between Bob and both his sons.  Most of the staff didnt even know what was about to happen to them, yes they all got paid great i will tell you.  I have seen payroll slips for every staff except Bob himself, whose slip was somehow "edited" out.  No one there made under 350 a week.  They kitchen people were the only ones who got paid cheap, that is the people who originally cooked the food.  Now how shall I say Dave, Jenny, and a few others were paid an extreme amount.  Bob paid the people who know most dirt the most.  I personally have been involved in a few wrong-doings, those of which I had my life threatened over by numerous staff, one of which said they would help me in court, now I know that all this Wellspring jargon is kicking up old dust, maybe it needs to be, he did wrong.  I've been in 12 different boarding schools, rehabs, hospitals, bootcamps, you name it.  I have never seen one like Bobs, it was the most unorgainized, unintelligent boarding school ive been to.  Not to bash Bob, where he sent me after the school closed was not to pleasing either, I guess thats why now I have 2 criminal charges on me, along with other bullshit that still haunts me, lucky I knew some people who could get me a job, if not id still be in the hole.  Bob was a great help at first, I left the school and then came back, it was even worse, 5 months after I got back, the school shut down, leaving me and my parent up shit creek, I couldnt live at home and Bob supposedly said the school would be open to "help kids" as long as he could and sharon would take over....  Its all been said and done now.  The event is gone, in the past, dont you wonder what the big man has to say about all this?  it seems most people want to know a few things and he wont talk without a lawyer.  I saw him after the school closed and he looked the other way, i also saw his son, who would not even speak to me, not even to say merry christmas.  what a big man he is. anyways i know the heats down now, maybe some how this can reach bob and he can comment and apoligize for all the wrong doings that have gone on.  farwell and goodbye to wellspring and all students who i became good friends with and then we all just up and left.

He did not take Jon "with him".  They were both told that they no longer have jobs with Birch Creek Plantation.  Bob was trying to ruin Birch Creek Plantation just as he did with Wellspring (by using funds unwisely).  He thought he was going to have the power and learned otherwise. They also "basically stole" items that they claimed as theirs from the new owners, selling things and keeping the money.  When the new owners bought the farm from the bankruptcy court they were kind enough to open it back up to them which their kindness cost them money as well.  If anyone else had bought the farm Jon and Bob would of had NO access to anything.  ::argue::
