Staff planning for Feb. 17 opening day
Toby Swisher
Sitting in the corner of Randall Hinton?s office at Royal Peak Academy, the former St. Scholastica campus, two large cardboard boxes sit filled with four school uniforms, ready for the school?s first students.
Bound in the school?s welcome booklet between pages of the school?s contact information and profile, a calender for February through December shows different events for Royal Peak Academy boys and girls, and even a parent weekend as soon as May 5.
For the staff at Royal Peak Academy, the block for February 17 stands out most for them on that calender. In italicized blue writing, Tentative Opening for Royal Peak Academy fills the tiny calender square.
Royal Peak Academy hopes to welcome their first students, or possibly just student, in less than a week.
They will welcome their first student if their computers are shipped and set up by the opening date.
?We are waiting for our classroom setup. Our computers are not here yet and we are just waiting on that,? Hinton said.
Since the school was purchased in November by Octwell, LLC, maintenance crews have furnished the building with 44 beds, desks, chairs and cafeteria tables.
Construction was completed on the classrooms two weeks ago and the school passed both fire and health inspections and is already licensed with the state of Colorado.
School officials also have plans to build a 20 foot high fountain at the main entrance of the school and get the pond and river on the campus flowing again.
Brian Lemmons, another staff member at Royal Peak Academy, was on a plane Wednesday traveling to visit with marketing firms throughout the United States to advertise the school in magazines and on the internet in an attempt to get more kids and parents interested in the school.
?We will take one kid to start, then student by student,? Hinton said.
The school will have dorm students who reside there and day students, just as the St. Scholastica did.
The school will be coed and welcome students from 7th through 12th grade.
Students will not be court- ordered students or any sort of offenders, Hinton said.
Royal Peak Academy is to benefit students who have not succeeded with the framework of the public education system, the welcome booklet explains.
The school will have courses in science, history, language arts, mathematics physical education, and a long list of other electives. In addition to earning credit to graduate high school, students will be able to earn undergraduate college level course credits.
?The school is academic 100 percent, with no religious affiliations,? Hinton added.
Classes will be composed of two squads and there will be 10 kids per squad. Squads are developed to help organize and focus the students.
?Squads make it easier for the students to come in and get adjusted,? Hinton said.
Rather than a student having to meet and fit in with 200 new students, he or she only has to fit in with the 10 students in his or her squad at first.
Within the squads, the staff at Royal Peak Academy will utilize positive peer culture and equipment for group living. This program teaches if there is a problem with the squad, such as fighting, stealing or misleading, how to work through the problems.
?This helps each squad member to become the best people possible,? Hinton said.

Are parents really excited about sending their kids to someone like him? I wouldn't leave him alone with my dog, much less my child.
That analogy was the stupidest thing I've ever heard and he comes off clearly as the utter imbecile and crook he is.

Is this the same Brent Hall from Discovery Academy?

NOT the same Brent Hall from Discovery Academy. Brent Hall was at Cross Creek in the 90's and has been w/WWASP for awhile. Both "Brent" and "Hall" are common Utah names.

Yes, they are. Check out WWASPS' "parents support network" site. They're there. And they're both managed by WWASPS-affiliated people. They're WWASPS, alright.

Yes they are.

Brent Facer is a high-up WWASP long timer whose name has been associated with Brightway, etc. Check ISAC's records for more on his affiliations.
Brent Hall #1 was a staff at CCM whose pregnant wife died after accidentally driving off the road. The other Brent Hall, who is affiliated with Discovery Academy and not WWASP, was a therapist at D.A. before buying the place from Eugene Thorne.

Randall Hinton is more than likely highly responsible for the death of one of his victims because of the mental and physical torture he put the poor boy through. Just 5 years later the boy, now a young adult died due to and over stressed heart that failed him at the young age of 25.
Randall Hinton murders children?s souls, and belongs in prison for the rest of his life.

While living a short time in Boonville, MO, set up by Robert Litchfield, Randall Hinton was reported to the local sheriff?s office for punishing his three-year-old daughter by locking her outside the front door of their home in the evening, when it was cold outside. The child was reported to have been visibly upset and banging on the door as Randall stood right there and watched. When the police arrived on the scene Randall lied and told them that she must have accidentally locked herself out. However, a next door neighbor, who had been the one to make the 911 call, told the sheriff that he was standing there watching her the entire time...

He most likely watched her so he could say that he was supervising the child and didnt abandon her, and thus didnt commit a crime.
See, physical abuse is a no no, but a mindfuck is a-okay.
I wouldn't shed a tear out of anything but laughter if this man got drug out in a riot and beaten by his own victims. With any luck this wont happen too far from now.

Is there an article about this ? If so, the link would be appreciated (about Hinton locking out his 3-year old daughter)

The sad thing is, if Randall Hinton was pepper spraying me.....I would've somehow managed to kill him. That guy is pure evil, and thank god he wasn't around when I was there. I would still be serving time.....that would just suck.

One more thing.....what was Randall Hinton doing in Booneville, MO.? They got DENIED when attempting to secure the Kemper School?

I carry a folding knife now (length is within state law as a tool and not a knife, and its single edged :lol: ) and when I move to FL Im probably going to get a nice .357 revolver. Ill prolly load .38+P so I have sane recoil, but It'll still be a fucking .357 revolver.
Too bad he's in puertorico and most likely not actively abusing children in the juristriction of florida, with its 'stand your ground' law :(.
Oh, and just incase someone feels like taking this as a threat over at WWASPS...
The Florida statute allows the use of deadly force when a person reasonably believes it necessary to prevent the commission of a "forcible felony." Under the statute, forcible felonies include "treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual."[1]
The Florida law authorizes the use of defensive force by anyone "who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be." Furthermore, under the law, such a person "has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony." The statute also grants civil and criminal immunity to anyone found to have had such a reasonable belief.[1]

Its totally legal to blow you to hell with a big loud FUCK YOU and a hunk of lead in your skull in Florida for doing shit these people get away with all the time.
:flame:

That's an awfully broad inerpretation of the statute Niles.
-
That's an awfully broad inerpretation of the statute Niles.
Well, it clearly says any felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual, doesn't it?
The shit hes done to kids in programs would definitely count as such. Oh, and same for kidnapping.
Broad my ass, if you dont like it, dont go to florida :cry2:

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the sentiment but it IS a rather broad interpretation.

If he commits a felony involving violence and harm on another individual, as long as Im not commiting a crime at the time Im totally allowed to use deadly force to stop him. Seeing as he tends to do that to children, I'd love to catch him armed and in a juristriction where I could put a permanant end to his wrongdoings. Not that Id ever want him to hurt another kid, but if he does, I want to be there so thats the last kid. Capiche?
And yeah, Im moving TO florida. Other than the ridiuclous housing prices c/o old farts, its a lot better than NC. I lived in FL two years, those were a lot happier than I was before I moved from NC or after I moved back. A LOT.
-
They commit crimes against unarmed kids. The kids have already been strip searched, demoralized and dehumanized already. He's the type of coward that likes to kick kids while their down. A special kind of sadist.
A lot of people react when hearing these stories, in a way I find strange. That is, they ask why did you not violently retaliate if physically harmed, insinuating they would have never let anyone abuse them. You know, they are so tough and everything. I don't know if anyone else knows of this attitude from people unfamiliar with abuse themselves, but I've heard it a lot. I then just kind of assume they don't understand the full extent of the overall sitaution and it's intricacies, especially at that age.
-
The last poster is, unfortunately, dead on the money. There's more of them. They're bigger than you are. And they appear to wield authority and your parents are in on it.
On the other hand, they somehow imagine that you won't hate them for it and that people will stay beat down forever. This is why relationships with programmed parents always end badly.
These places are ultimately doomed; as soon as the victims realize what's truly been done to them, they're going to retaliate. All that needs to happen is for their anger to be woken up and focused.
And that's why I'm here.

Non-violence is not a cover for cowardice, but it is the supreme virtue of the brave. Exercise of non-violence requires far greater bravery than that of swordsmanship. Cowardice is wholly inconsistent with non-violence. Translation from swordsmanship to non-violence is possible and, at times, even an easy stage. Non-violence, therefore, presupposes ability to strike. It is a conscious deliberate restraint put upon one's desire for vengeance. But vengeance is any day superior to passive, effeminate and helpless submission. Forgiveness is higher still. Vengeance too is weakness. The desire for vengeance comes out of fear of harm, imaginary or real. A dog barks and bites when he fears. A man who fears no one on earth would consider it too troublesome even to summon up anger against one who is vainly trying to injure him. The sun does not wreak vengeance upon little children who throw dust at him. They only harm themselves in the act. (YI, 12-8-1926, p285 The Mind Of Mahatma Gandhi)
-
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. -Mohandas Gandhi
If hes dead, he wont hurt anyone anymore. The authorities dont care, the people who run orginizations he works for dont care, and good fucking luck making this country of idiots recognize abuse as abuse and not as 'tough love' anytime soon.
Bottom line, as unlikely as it is, if I have the pleasure of catching him in the act, Im defending the kid in a very permanant way! Why? The law says I can.
But, of course, how the hell would I even get into a program that hes in, in florida, anyway? Its not gonna happen, as fortuitious as it would be. I think the real problem we have to face is the fact that its gotten to the point where the only way I can conceive of stopping this shit is actually killing those who do it, vs the 'system' actually working for anyone except the rich and influential, or people in the most powerful, influential, richest nation in the world using the brain god gave them to figure this shit out.

One more thing.....what was Randall Hinton doing in Booneville, MO.? They got DENIED when attempting to secure the Kemper School?
The proposal lasted weeks, and he was living in a home, rent paid by Robert Litchfield. See, I think they were so sure the deal would go through that they moved there to buddy up (and butter up) the old Kemper alumni. It worked too... Mark Farrell was smoking his pole the whole time because Randall was promising him a top position when the property was taken over by himself and his little brother. They even had an appreciation dinner for the Hintons and family. Thankfully the city counsel had brains, much unlike Mr. Farrell.
-
So, him doing this to his three year old daughter.........do you think he was taking out his crap on her? What I mean is, I wonder how much time was between when the city council voted against them taking over the Kemper School, and when he locked his little girl out in the cold?
You know, I have my own issues.......but I have to say I don't hurt others around me to make myself feel better.

Hey hey now, get off your highhorse there lady.
I want to hurt people who hurt others, and that would make ME feel a lot better. Dunno about you and your ivory tower and all :P
-
Okay.........well, let's just say I do give it to some people, who I know have it coming. But, those people are emotionally able to take it, and they usually start it. I wouldn't come home from a bad day at work, and beat on my animals. When I have kids, I won't do it to them. It's not in my nature.
There are some who treat others like shit, to make themselves feel better. I am not one of those people. I feel Randall Hinton is. From everything I have read, and watched, that's what I have gathered.
I am so far from perfect. But, I don't think my imperfections hurt others. Am I making any sense? Awww..........screw it who cares!!!! :wink:
-
I was just joking :rofl:
And even ghandi would've spit on Mr. Hinton, if not beat him so hard he'd think Vishnu bitchslapped him with every hand at once!
I really hate SCUM like that and its sad that this country is so ill prepared to deal with people like that! :(
Its as if you can get away with anything if it involves making money or scamming the right group of people, the right way! URGH.
I felt morbid today and caught Dr. Phil this afternoon while looking for an ep of the simpsons on the local FOX channel. It was centered around a woman (a typically fat ugly bitch, but WITH LIGHTLIGHTS! :D ) who would shriek at, beat, kick, slap etc her kids, and her hubby was complicit in it. And they even had a "thou shalt not" stick they hit them with. So, the kids lived in constant fear and would cover themselves pre-emptively.
What kills me is the kind of excuses adults can make and get up with, even after Dr. Phil just got done dressing them down infront of the audience and TV viewers for their ratings/our entertainment. :roll: And, of course, they showed the child abuse video TWICE - once while Dr. Phil made the mom watch it, then while the same windbag made the hubby watch it, and gave them a verbal 'confrontation' infront of the audience.
Oh, and he was kind enough to after seeing the vid from the cams set up in their house, to push the show ahead two weeks, instead of calling the cops. How loving of him :roll:
So, he basically let the bitch off after daddio promised to mail him the stick and stay with Mrs. Bitch until she got help, and to have 'an intervention set up' (GAWD). Now, of course, a kid acted like that, they'd be in the slammer or in a program before you can say "OPRAH!", and that really kills me.
I wonder how much like that Hinton would act on Dr. Phil. :roll:
Yanno, I bet if we raised enough hell, hed have 'us' on his show to answer for sending a kid to SUWS, to PCS!!!! (Jesus CHRIST, someone let Bandit maul his ass on camera for that, PLEASE!!!) and just programs in general. Oh well, I can dream right? :P
-
BTW, it's a bit overwhelming, and sickening to think that WWASPS is operating as it is. Unlike some people, I am not jealous of the amount of wealth they've generated by growing as quickly, and creatively as they have.
I don't care about the money part of it. What I do care about is they've chosen quantity over the quality of their programs. Thousands of kids are being subjected to abuse, and untrained staff that have a whole slew of their own problems. I know it's such a small percentage of kids are exposed to these programs. But, I feel like this is something that could be avoided. The fact that it would mean more money outta their pockets, and it could be resolved, and they don't do it because of the greed factor...and hello folkes that's what it is......well, that's when I go WTF?!!
I figure they will dig their own graves. I do think it is catching up with them, and quite fast. What can I say? I think it is a 100% their fault for all the crap they are currently going through. It's years of mismanaged facilities, and basically a fucked up old school way of thinking, and beliefs that has gotten them into this whole mess.
They started with Cross Creek, and developed a "program" that became stranger, and stranger as time went on. Then the spin offs are even worse it seems, because it gets a little more twisted as they open a new one. But, the parents just eat this stuff up! I wish they had a program that I didn't have a problem with. The fact is there are none. I have a problem with them all.
It's not because I have a personal vendetta, contrary to what you might think or believe. It's the fact that I stumbled upon all this a year ago, and was shocked to learn of their growth, and their success (financially speaking) in the industry. I knew from personal experience what their thinking was all about. I have faith that I have seen it at it's peak. Because 15 years down the road it just doesn't seem like it could possibly get any worse? I feel really bad for the kids who kill themselves, I respect those who are mentally able to endure it. But, I hate the government for not getting off their asses and doing something about this. It's gotten way outta hand, and I am pissed about it. Nobody listens it seems. Nobody cares. WWASPS feels like it can continue to get away with it, and they are.
-
I dont think govt will do anything productive, they are killing kids at a pretty good clip just as well as the business men. I think people are generally pretty good, and only a small minority of parents would ever consider sending their kid to a wwasp like facility. Most parents actually advocate for their child, rather than against them.
I believe the only tactic that would produce short term benefits at this point is to shame them, and get publicy out there, since most people don't even know about this. Even a catch phrase for the type of abuse we are talking about would help, so people could remember it as 'an issue' to care about. People care about things these days, even if its the wrong things. I study food production models and a recent study has shown that behind chemical spraying of food, the biggest concern for consumers is how the animals are treated on the farm. This elicits much more emotion than say the topic of, migrant labor human rights. Think about it, consumers care more about how a cow, or goat, or chicken is treated than the human being that is delivering their very food. I thought it was crazy, what kind of crazy peopel did they find for this survey, but it wasn't that at all. If you look into the details, the reason why is because 'animal rights' is such a highly publicized issue these days. Several of the people involved said they had seen videos from peta, toured slaughterhouses, things like that.
Well, what if there was a teen rights organization or something similar like peta. It wouldn't be about telling our war stories, it would be about actively producing results by changing minds, and raising money. That, in my opinion, might actually produce some short term results. Creative marketing can be used against these companies just as easily as they use it to lure the parents in. These demographic of their customer base is relatively well off folks, mostly middle-upper class and upper class. These are the kind of people that use technology, use the internet and might actually care about issues. Teen rights might not be a priority for most people, but that's because they either don't know about what is going on, or assume the common stereotype that the kids are all gangbangers in need of a good ass whoopin'. But seriously, who cares what the general public thinks, we would be trying to hit up the future customers of these places directly. I think most people agree these places are stupid, or are too expensive, but if you could figure out who is the type of person who doesn't dismiss the idea, and the warning signs, you could hit them up before the vultures... or wasps do.
I think the main problem is such an organization takes a lot of sacrifice on the part of the individuals involved, to say the least. I think a core group of ten people or so could do it though. I've seen similar models for other social groups, and it can work. Ten people renting a house doens't cost a lot of money, and frees up a lot of your time. Free time to do things like stage multiple sit-in hunger strikes in front of multiple facilities. And at the homes of the owners of the facilities, or other strategic locations. That might just garner some national media attention. Two people in front of a facility, staging a hunger strike with demands to .. improve living conditions.. allow freedom of communication.. rights... more regulation.. or whatever.. the main idea is the media attention. If there is a tangible demand, then the perception is that the strike will continue on. Of course it would be up to the individuals involved, but even five days would get serious attention. Think if it were several facilities all at once. So if you were ready for a media blitz, had a campaign ready, and organized like peta or something like that, it might create a buzz.
That wwasp documentary was nice, but it would be really nice to see a documentary about the entire industry and its scale in general, and the mechanics and bearacracy and tangents and political connections and all that. Showing people the TB documentary makes people think that is an abberation, but we all know its not.
I think people look at the industry as a whole, and dismiss the bad stories as a small percentage of an otherwise satisfied lot of customers. With the rise of the internet, and networking, its obvious after reading through the alumni of these facilities that the minority is in fact the kids and parents who were satisfied! You'd think this ponzi scheme would have collapsed a long time ago, but I think their customer base just keeps getting larger, in size, ignorance and indignance. It's time to attack the one thing they hold so preciously dear in their hearts, appearance. Ever notice how program parents love to pretend they sent their kid off to a country club school, they always minimize it to their friends. It's time to 'throw paint on their fur coats' and let everyone know of their dirty little secret. I believe it can be done, a small group of dedicated people can do enormous things.

Dear Stoned Dropout,
I read your post several times. Thank you for spending the time to post your thoughts, you have some very good ideas. I guess if these programs insist on continuing their ways, and the government won't do anything about it.....it's time for the next step. I look forward to the rest of the year. I do feel like we are on the verge of major change. We are gaining momentum, and should take advantage of the timing. I do have hope. I am exhausted, and need to go to bed. I can't help but have empathy for the children who are there. Some of them who are crying themselves to sleep. When I was there, I would put on headphones and listen to music, and pretend I wasn't there. I'm sure that isn't allowed anymore. Unless it's Tony Robbins you're listening to, right?

He thought he was going to win. I don't think it had anything to doing with "taking out his crap on her." I just simply believe that he believes that his (WWASPS's) sick form of discipline works, and is the way you gain control and change behaviors; reward and punishment to the extreme. He was in great spirits when he was here, and was already settling in. I think the rejected proposal was a shock to him.
Edit: Also, the incident with his daughter happened weeks before the city counsel voted against him.

I always thought the programmies were sick in a revengeful, petty sort of way- they maybe got picked on as kids, or maybe some bullies beat them up and took their stuff.. something to make them want to get back at all the "bad boys" in the world.
But this.. this disproves that.
This man is very literally batshit insane.
What the hell do you think she's going to learn from this experience? 'Discipline'? 'Respect'? No! Idiot! She's.. fucking.. THREE! She's not even going to remember what the hell it was she did by the time the abuse is over! All she's going to learn is that her Daddy is not to be trusted and is prone to do incredibly bad things to her at a moment's notice! (Of course, this is perfectly accurate.)
And other parents send their kids to places influenced by this douchebag? In a sane world this would be automatic loss of custody.

Director Of Canon City Royal Peak Academy Arrested
(AP) CANON CITY, Colo. Police have arrested the director of the Royal Gorge Academy on several charges of mistreating children.
Randal Hinton, 32, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of false imprisonment, assault and reckless endangerment of a student at the private school for troubled youth.
The charges stem from an incident involving a runaway student. She alleges that when she returned he twice grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back, injuring her hand.
He also allegedly forced her to lie face down on the floor for 6 hours.
Staff members told investigators of other incidents.
Hinton was free on $2,500 bond.

Did he go back to working at that place or is he simply "out on bond"
:roll: IF HES FUCKING WORKING THERE AFTER HE GOT ARRESTED ON SUSPICON OF ABUSING KIDS THERE THEN WHY THE FUCK DO WE EVEN HAVE COPS?!?!

I don't care if he went home if he is out on bond.
I care if someone lets him around kids, or back in that damn program!

Well, I guess, from the video clip, that there is one other bright spot in this tragic event: Hinton may now be investigated for the other assaults he perpetrated against helpless victims at other BM warehouses over the years.
I always feel good inside when a seasoned, professional child abuser gets popped. I hope he goes to prison and has to deal with his own isolation and coercion issues, most notably the coercion to take it in the tailpipe from the whole cell block...

Well come on now girl.. Use that bannana to call long distance!
I would if I thought it would make any difference.
I think it has to be done locally, though, and not opinion based.

Instead of handing out advice, why don't you contact CPS yourself 001010 and see if it makes any difference or not?

Man must avoid contact with Canon City school
January 16, 2006
By: David Ortiviz
A man accused of hurting students at a school he ran for troubled kids in Canon City, can no longer have contact with the school or any former or current students. That was one of the conditions set in court on Tuesday for Randall Hinton. Through his lawyer, Hinton waived his advisement. However, he posted bond for $2,500. The Fremont County District Attorney hasn't formally charged Hinton yet, but Hinton faces charges of false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and assault. Hinton is accused of forcing a teenage girl to lie face down on the floor for six hours and smacking another student's face on the floor. Hinton denies taking inappropriate action. He's due back in court next week.

Academy puts official on leave
Debbie Bell
The Daily Record
The private school official arrested on charges of assaulting a student has been placed on administrative leave by the Royal Gorge Academy.
Randall Hinton of Cañon City, 32, was released on $2,500 bail following his arrest Tuesday on charges of third-degree assault, false imprisonment and reckless endangerment.
Hinton is project supervisor at the Royal Gorge Academy, a private school for troubled teenagers.
Michael Gillick, Hinton?s attorney, said this morning his client is ?completely not guilty? of all charges.
?This is a boarding school,? Gillick said, ?not a strict detention facility. This is to help children who have problems and hopefully get them turned in the right direction.?
Gillick said the teenage girl involved in the alleged incident that occurred at the end of December was ?brand new? to the school and had not adjusted to being there. :lol:
He admitted the girl was restrained using ?common, legal methods? for her own safety and that of school officials, but Gillick was not able to specify the restraint techniques used.
Hinton reportedly has been involved at other school facilities for troubled teens, most notably the infamous Tranquility Bay in Jamaica.
Various online accounts report abuse of students either by Hinton himself or directly supervised by him.
Cañon City Police Department Capt. Allen Cooper said this morning his office had been told of prior allegations before Royal Gorge Academy opened.
?As law enforcement officials, we are not allowed to react to things that happen outside of our jurisdiction,? Cooper said. ?My understanding is there is not a lot of oversight on private schools. The process to me sounds kind of superficial.?
Gillick maintained Hinton never before has been charged with similar accusations.
?Lots of bizarre things show up on the Internet,? Gillick said. ?You can read anything there and take it with a grain of salt.?
Gillick also questioned police tactics used in the investigation and said he offered to cooperate.
?I told them they could have anything they wanted, just let me know when. They chose to bully their way around and come back unannounced with a search warrant,? Gillick said. ?They could have done it the easy way or they could have done it the dog and pony show, like they did.?
Cooper refuted that statement.
?The initial investigating police officer asked for certain documentation and was told the school did not have to provide it,? Cooper said. ?That?s why we went with a warrant.?
Gillick also charged the CCPD with ?overkill? as they conducted official interviews with students at the school.
?They put all the kids in the auditorium, did not let anybody see what was going on. There were no guardians and parents were not allowed access to the children,? Gillick said. ?It was just absurd, conducting official interviews under those circumstances.?
At least one parent has contacted him, Gillick said, concerned her child was interviewed without parental consent.
Cooper said it is standard procedure to interview juveniles who are not suspects without permission.
?Parental consent is not required,? Cooper said. ?None of these kids were suspected of anything other than being potential witnesses.?
Cooper said the interviews with students provided more information than his department anticipated.
?This did turn into a larger investigation for us than we anticipated based on the reaction of some of the participants,? Cooper said.
Hinton is due in District Judge David Thorson?s courtroom at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday for advisement.

Yeah tell us about it. I wonder how far this cop is going to take it, and if the facility will get shut down because of this. If it does, maybe this will be a domino effect and other law enforcement agencies will look into the other WWASPS schools.
In the case of SCL it would definitely have to be an outside LEO, everyone who has seen "who's watching the kids" knows exactly why Sanders County sheriff will not do shit, the corrupt bastard.

Does Hinton's arrest help the TB documentary at all? Or is the documentary still being held up for reasons that have to do with some folks who were in it?
-
You'd have to ask Paula Reeves and Sue Scheff about the hold of the the TB documentary, in my opinion.
These two "ladies" seem to be butting heads over which version to release, who is to release it.
They were friends, weren't they? Maybe they can "kiss and make up" and agree to the release of both versions:
The short version that features SUE SUE.
The 90 minute version that supposedely features lawyer Paula.
If it's a "money deal" ole SUE SUE knows about "sharing referral fees," maybe these two "ladies" could compromise on the BUCKS.
-
Or they realize what happened by making that - making it a lot easier for us... - and are trying to minimize the fact that it will bring criticism against ALL programs?

But it's not their documentary. It was produced by a company in France. Seems to me it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, they don't own the rights.
Maybe it's being held up because no one wants to buy it?
-
It has to be distributed.
Think that is what the "fight" is about.
-
The way distribution works is the rights to the French documentary would be sold to a distributor in the U.S. How do either of these women have any thing to do with that? Again, they are not the creators of the documentary. They are simply characters in it. Correct? How could they "hold" up distribution of a work they do not own? Surely they signed a release to be featured in this documentary. It has been shown elsewhere with apparently no problem.

Academy director could face additional charges
Vic Vela
The Daily Record
The Royal Gorge Academy official facing a felony false imprisonment charge as well as assault and reckless endangerment allegations will have to wait a while to find out if additional counts will be filed.
Meanwhile, an affidavit indicates Academy staff members interviewed by investigators offer different takes on the official?s actions.
Randall Hinton of Cañon City, 32, appeared in Fremont County District Court today, his second appearance since being arrested Jan. 9 following a Cañon City Police Department investigation that originated in December.
Hinton is project supervisor for the Academy, a school for troubled teenagers.
Judge David Thorson granted Deputy District Attorney Thom LeDoux additional time today to file new charges, if any, against Hinton. Hinton?s attorney, Michael Gillick, said LeDoux was ?swamped? and that he had no issue with the continuance.
An affidavit indicates the CCPD investigation that began Dec. 30 of last year was prompted by a complaint by Patty Pacheco, an executive secretary at the school, who said ?she cannot deal with the way the students are treated by Hinton any longer,? according to a report by an investigating officer who interviewed her.
The affidavit reads the secretary told the initial investigating officer that a new, 17-year female student, who had run away from the school on just her second day before being returned the following day, was made to ?lie face down on the floor, arms to her side and palms up for hours? as punishment.
Pacheco indicated the girl was having her period at the time she was on the ground, according to the officer.
The affidavit reads the girl ?wanted to change her pants, and Hinton told her no.? :o
However, Gillick said following today?s hearing that another employee, Holly Simpson, a former police officer, said the girl was able to use the restroom, and Simpson accompanied her on restroom visits.
Gillick also contends staff members interviewed by police were ?not present during the entire incident.?
?Those in the know clearly understand there was no inappropriate action by Randall Hinton,? said Gillick in an interview following today?s hearing.
However, the affidavit indicates prior alleged incidents concerning Hinton have concerned staff members.
Pacheco recalled a May 2006 incident where she saw a male student emerge from a meeting with Hinton with a black eye, ?which he didn?t have before he went up,? according to the report.
The affidavit also reports another staff member, Ryan Robley, said he once witnessed Hinton grab a male student ?by the back of his head and smacked his face against the floor a couple of times,? causing the student to bleed from his mouth.
However, both Pacheco and Robley had positive comments about Hinton, aside from the alleged abuse. The affidavit reads Pacheco thought Hinton was an ?awesome? boss while Robley felt Hinton was ?a good man, but that he may have an anger problem.?
:rofl:
In spite of the allegations being levied against Hinton, two parents of students at the school, including the parent of the girl, were sympathetic toward Hinton. The affidavit indicates that the girl?s mother said her daughter ?can be manipulative and was a difficult child.? Also, the father of another female student said ?kids that go to that school have problems, they lie, are deceiving, on drugs and have other problems.?
In fact, the affidavit reads the girl whom Hinton allegedly forced face-down on the floor would repeatedly hit herself in the head with a stapler prior to the alleged abuse.
[ :question: Kids have access to staplers at a WWASP facility?]
The affidavit also indicates that Academy Vice President Brian Lemons had been hesitant in providing copies of school policies for investigating officers and that he needed to consult with the school?s attorney before complying with requests for such documents.
However, Gillick said school officials have been compliant with officers? requests.
Hinton?s next scheduled court appearance will be 11:15 am. March 7.

These are false alligations and people need to understand that the kids that go to this school are there for a reason. These kids may have told the police anything.

Felony charge against Hinton dropped
Vic Vela
The Daily Record
A felony charge will be dropped today against the Royal Gorge Academy co-director arrested in January for suspected assault and other charges. However, several new misdemeanor counts will be added.
Randall Hinton of Ca?on City, 32, will face misdemeanor charges in connection to the January Ca?on City Police Department investigation into allegations that Hinton was abusive toward students at the private boarding school.
Hinton now will face seven counts of third-degree assault, a Class I misdemeanor, and two counts of false imprisonment, a Class II misdemeanor. There are seven alleged victims in the case.
The maximum penalty for third-degree assault is up to two years in jail. The false imprisonment charge carries with it a maximum penalty of one year. However, probation can also be considered, rather than jail time.
Hinton originally was charged with false imprisonment, a Class V felony as well as third degree assault, a Class I misdemeanor and reckless endangerment, a Class III misdemeanor. After its investigation, the District Attorney?s Office chose not to pursue the felony false imprisonment charge.
?Our office feels it?s more appropriate at this time to go forward with misdemeanor charges,? said Fremont County Deputy District Attorney Thom LeDoux.
The D.A.?s office has the final say in determining what charges officially are filed against suspects, not law enforcement agencies like CCPD.
?The District Attorney?s office does an independent review of the case,? said LeDoux. ?We then make a determination on what is appropriate to proceed with.?
An affidavit that followed Hinton?s arrest alleges Hinton forced one female student to ?lie face down on the floor, arms to her side and palms up for hours.? The affidavit also reads Hinton refused to let the girl use the restroom while she was having her period. Staff members interviewed by CCPD said they had sus-pected Hinton of abusing students before.
However, parents and other staff members interviewed have been supportive of Hinton and his work at the school.
Hinton, along with school Vice President Brian Lemons, opened Royal Gorge Academy in the spring of 2006. The boarding school houses boys and girls, ranging from 13-17 of age, who have been sent to the school by their parents for various reasons, including behavioral and academic problems.
Hinton?s attorney, Michael Gillick, said he is pleased his client will not face a felony charge. However, he still hopes to see Hinton acquitted of all charges.
?I certainly agree there were no actions that constituted felonies,? he said. ?We believe all actions taken by Randall Hinton were appropriate given the circumstances. Mr. Hinton maintains his innocence toward any charges.?
Hinton is scheduled to appear in court at 3:15 p.m. today when the new charges will be filed. Because the case no longer carries with it felonious implications, future proceedings now will be held in county court.
Hinton remains free on a $2,500 bond.

Everybody knows WWASPS style of punishment. Lay down on floor with arms at side! We have pictures, there is so much evidence, if they don't use him as the scapegoat and let him take full blown punishment to show that WWASPS really being forced to make changes, well then, I just don't know!!!!

It wouldn't surprise me if that is what they do. Sacrafice the hand to let the rest of the body live.

They don't need to do anything. If parents did enough research to find out about Hinton, they would find out about all the other abuse. Why would Hinton's recent problems convince them if his in his own words confession to abuse at TB is not enough. WWASPS secures the business of a segment of parents that do not do research, or do not care about what they find. Judging by the amount of upset parents posting on the internet (only a handful, compared to the hundreds of students) it's hard to believe that it's all about ignorance. To most people WWASPS is a success story with a few bad apples.

Gee golly fucking willickers another slap on the wrist for another child abusing asshole.

Teenager testifies in Hinton trial
Vic Vela
The Daily Record
Disturbing testimony was provided Monday by a former Royal Gorge Academy student who described bloody details of the alleged physical abuse he received on the part of the boarding school’s co-director, Randall Hinton.
However, the student’s credibility was questioned by Hinton’s attorney — something that will certainly be a large part of the accused’s defense as more witnesses take the stand — as Hinton’s week-long jury trial commenced.
A 17-year-old California boy testified he and two other former students were in a room alone with Hinton when the abuse took place during an Oct. 3, 2006, incident.

Day two of the (http://http://www.canoncitydailyrecord.com/default.aspx?tabid=71&pDesc=980,1,1) Randall Hinton trial featured testimony from four former Royal Gorge Academy students who testified the boarding school’s co-director was physically abusive toward them, as well as other students.
The most compelling testimony provided Tuesday was by a 15-year-old Riverside, Calif., boy who detailed an alleged incident where he was put into a headlock and slammed against a staircase wall by Hinton.
“He thrust my head into the wall, my face hit the wall, and I fell to the ground,â€

Can we give him the chair yet?
Please, God, let the jury have some common sense.
Prisoners are going to have a fucking field day with his asshole.

Just curious if Vic Vela has seen the Tranquility Bay movie? Has anyone sent him a copy? Also, is that clip of Randall Hinton saying he sprays kids in the face with pepper spray multiple times going to be shown in court?

Dueling testimony of Royal Gorge Academy staff members — one a former employee, the other the school’s current vice president — featured stark contrasts in knowledge of whether Randall Hinton had abused students at the school.
Meanwhile, the issue of religion created a momentary atmosphere of tension inside the Fremont County courtroom during day three of the Hinton trial.
A tearful, former Royal Gorge Academy employee testified Wednesday she believed Randall Hinton had assaulted students and that she decided to come forward with information in spite of being “scaredâ€

I'm assuming that he will be low man on the totem pole at his new job, being that he has worked for WWASP for so long and likely has little or no formal training in the automotive industry.
I hope that his remaining on probation will mean that legal eyes remain vigilant on him and his young children. I do not understand why, when a parent is convicted of a crime against any child, CPS is not automatically notified to check the welfare of the convict's own children.
I can't imagine that he is a good father who exhibits patience and proper parenting techniques, given that he was convicted of violence against a child.
Randall Hinton's problems may also be worsening at home, as his wife could understandably feel ashamed of her convicted husband's actions and likely low-wage, entry level job.
I see people like the Hintons on Jerry Springer all the time. I have to remind myself that there are real people with such poor judgment that they put themselves and their children in such predicaments each day.
His hickspeak and lack of remorse only confirm what the general public already suspects about him, given the history of accusations against him across various states and countries.

It is not been confirmed.
Sadly the only way to find out is to visit the place and find out whether there is activity. The name Pacific View Academy (http://http://www.fornits.com/wiki/index.php/Pacific_View_Academy) suddenly appeared last year and before that the name Seaside academy was also in play.
An address called Calle Tijuana 601, Col. Machado, Playas de Rosarito seems to be of somewhat importance.
