The girl's program shut down admist allegations from the girls regarding sexual misconduct on Bob's part. 2 girls (both under age) specifically accused Bob of having sex with them. One girl confided in her counselor, then promptly left. The other girl didn't tell the counselor until after she had left the farm.
On another note. Those of you who were at the farm in the early days - pre 1995 or 94 - Bob was a caring man. The farm was a great healing place. But then it changed. He got a taste of the power and the money that was easily gained through broken, vulnerable children and parents. This small taste got him consumed with how to get more. With each person he duped money from, with each person he manipulated, he got more bold and more addicted to the power and money. Each lie led to more lies and became harder and harder to cover. Many of these lies led to the need for more money (for payoffs to keep prior victims quiet). He is now out of control. He's gone crazy.
Near the end he had 90 some kids at that farm. They had inadequate counseling, were abused physically as well as emotionally, and living conditions were worse than a state prison - he didn't care about their emotional nor physical health. He cared about how much money he could get, and he got off on how easy it was to control and dupe the parents and staff. He and Cindi would joke and laugh about the parents after they left from a visit. It was appalling and disgraceful that a "minister" behaved the way he behaved.
So yes, it was good at one time. It's important to look at how the years have progressed - not just at one time period. It's really sad. It could have been so good and a great blessing for children, parents, and Bob. But Bob chose to follow the devil and to worship other gods (money/power) instead of Our Lord.
Our Lord won't allow this behavior. For those of you who have been hurt so badly by this monster, remember that. God is watching and knows what needs to be done. God's will be done!! I know it's hard, but be patient and pray for Bob to be stopped - that God stop him in His will, not ours. That's the key, to let God have our anger, our need for revenge, our will. You all are not alone. There are so many people praying for this situation. God is watching! God's will be done!!
