There. I wanted to make it clear and google-able. Anyone with further information on Riddile and his time with Straight please post.
Mel Riddile was the director of the DC area Straight, Inc., an institution notorious for child abuse. It is unthinkable that he should be permitted to work in any position of authority with children. If you are here for the first time, look around, follow links.
The Montel Williams Show recently exposed the child abuse that took place at Straight, Inc. (Jan 18, 2005, Teen Rehab: An Investigative Report.)
What does Mel have to say about Straight now? What does the school board have to say about hiring a man with such a clear connection to child abuse?
