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.
