I still disagree with your opinion. Sometimes we tend to read into things too much and get caught up in our own opinions. Lets go back and look at the original article we have been referencing:

Here is a summary as seen by Aspen Education:
A statement from Phil Herschman, President of Aspen Education Group, on behalf of Mount Bachelor Academy:
We are pleased that the ongoing legal dispute between Mount Bachelor Academy (MBA) and the State of Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) has finally been satisfactorily resolved. The DHS has agreed to withdraw or modify all of its actions against MBA and MBA’s former director. The DHS’ withdrawal of its order suspending MBA’s license supports our position that they did not have justification for that order in the first place. The DHS has acknowledged with this settlement that in fact there was additional evidence no abuse had occurred.
As we have repeatedly stated throughout this process, our fundamental disagreements with the DHS' original allegations and consequent actions were strong and deep. We had collected abundant evidence that disproved those allegations, particularly the most egregious ones.
Despite the tragic circumstances of Mount Bachelor’s closure, we hope to open a new, even more successful school on the MBA campus in the future, and wish to publicly thank our skilled and dedicated employees who touched the lives of thousands of troubled teens for more than two decades at MBA, and the loyal alumni and families who steadfastly supported us.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. You just reported the
opinion of an Aspen principal, but them embellished it all sorts of ways without facts into "DHS admitted there was no abuse" (paraphrasing) when no such thing was ever written or stated. Thanks for admitting that all you posted before was factless and made up. It's important not to let our financial ties cloud our vision on the facts. Trying to mislead people doesn't help your agenda. If your argument can't be proven with facts, it's best not to make things up like you were doing because you get exposed in about a nanosecond.
So, let's get this straight finally: DHS never said anything about "no abuse occurring" and in fact stood by their intial investigation. Some charges were dropped (we don't know which ones, although you said they were "serious" without any evidence to support that) and some were modified, either to lower charges or higher charges, we don't know (although you misleadingly and falsely claimed they were serious charges that were reduced before).
The main problem I see with Fornits is that people like this poster tend to just make up their own "pro-program facts" about proven abusive facilities like MBA which has now been forced to close twice by authorities for abusing kids. These few bad apples shouldn't be allowed to taint the barrel here with all of these unsubstantiated claims about programs to which they have financial ties. It's dishonest and reflects badly on those posters.
At least we have cleaned up the misleading untruths from this poster's previous false claims about DHS for which s/he provided absolutely no facts and presented his/her fanciful opinion as "fact," but which was proven to be false by his/her own admission.
