What do people think of John McMillon, Director of Counseling? My personal experience is that he was a complete buffoon who had no clue what he was doing.
-
I thought John was nice enough but I do not understand if these HLA staffers know what HLA is getting by with ripping parents off and not following through with their many promises they tell parents to gain enrollment and they still stay employed there, I guess that tells the true character of these people. I would never stay employed at a place that was so unethical in their treatment of families. HLA is getting by with corrupt practices and that is what the lawsuit is about. Families are tired of HLA ripping them off and not doing what they promised to do to help their children. If any one of those people in HLA's administration were to have experienced this from the parents point of view, they would feel the same way. I truly believe that lots of brainwashing goes on at HLA. HLA has been very successful in brainwashing a few parents of kids at HLA also. I guess these parents are paying out so much money and want so much to believe the BS HLA is telling them, that it is easier to be in denial than to get their heads out of the sand and face the ugly truth.
-
Kids in our child's PG couldn't stand him. They thought he was a complete ass.
-
Maybe he is a complete ass. There are lots of staff there that I consider arrogant and sarcastic asses! I would think that HLA would do whatever they could to keep the parents happy so that they would not want to pull their children out of HLA, but that definitely is not the case!
-
Just so you all know and there's no confusion...
Function Junction = John McMillon.

this is confusing..I though he was Johnny Ringo..?
-
He is quite a few different posters... The guiy has some serious split-personality problems.
He is definitely both FJ and Johnny Ringo.
-
he was a fire crotch.
and he is the premier expert at HLAisms and HLAnguange. ever seen the movie red eye? he's like that evil guy, he's great at deflecting attention from the real issues and making you feel psychologically intimidated.

He is grest fun to play with. How can one feel intimidated by this
guy? He is such an oaf, a misinformed one, but still fun..Come out,
come out, where ever you are!
-
He's an arrogant prick who tries to make you believe your child will sink to the depths of Hell without HLA. What a gutless, souless person you are, McMillon. You are the exact opposite of a good "Christian". You are a liar and a miserable excuse of a human being. How do you live with yourself? Just remember: What goes around, comes around.
-
I believe that what goes around comes around is going to happen to a lot of people in HLA's administration staff soon. I think when the boom gets lowered on them, they will be in shock. Lots of ex staff have talked to us and told us they left because they were tired of telling lies for Bucci. By the way parents out there, don't think that you can email or call Buccellato and he will respond back to you. He WILL NOT do it!! He has all his subjects do his dirty work for him while he runs and hides. :flame: :evil:

Sucks to be called out, doesn't it John Boy?

Isn't Johnny Ringo the same person who called Lacey a "wench" and claimed Deborah lost custody of her son?
-
Lenny - it looks like your boy screwed up.
-
Isn't Johnny Ringo the same person who called Lacey a "wench" and claimed Deborah lost custody of her son?
I believe so. Wouldn't suprise me in the least!

I have a problem with this...it is too easy. A little fun here and there, but
I could be wrong, I don't think this man would bother with all these
poster children for the pokie..I could be wrong.
-
He would because he's an arrogant red-neck who has no future beyond HLA.
-
How can this clown be the Dir. of Counseling when he's not even a licensed counselor in Georgia? Shouldn't he have some sort of legitimate credentials to hold this title?
-
At HLA? Are you serious? Of course once the license kicks in things will have to change a bit. Sorry John Boy.
-
These are the type of things that need to be fixed before a license is issued. The license is contingent upon following the law, not the other way around - get the license and then comply with the law.
As long as HLA refuses to meet minimum licensing standards, no license will be issued. It's plain and simple.
This positioning by HLA should be viewed as an indicator that no license is forthcoming and that it will be forced to cease and desist childcare based on lack of appropriate licensing.
-
Ringo,
You're not posting but I'm sure you're reading.
Can you weigh in on the licensing issue?
When will HLA obtain a license from the Office of Regulatory Services?
Where are they at in the process?
-
Do you know if there is any deadline for HLA meeting the guidelines for licensing? Will HLA have to shut down if they are not licensed?
-
Assuming they meet the licensing standards and then fail to operate according to its conditions? They would receive a series of fines and then if they still refused (wouldnt that be ironic?) eventually be shut down yes.
-

He's rebuilding classrooms right now - you know, for all those hundreds of kids that will be coming back to the rejuvenated HLA. :o
-
Rejuvenated? Wouldn't new kids comig in to HLA make it "rejuveniled"? :wink:
-
Those damn semantics keep getting in the way!
-
John - thanks for letting us know the academic building was uninsured.
-
I have heard from staff that are still there that the inmates are basically running the assylum. Staff are afraid to do much of anything in terms of confronting because they are spooked by the lawsuit. There is apparently a sense of apathy rising amongst the counseling staff.
-
I know that several staff members told my kid that they would be leaving HLA's employment soon. We saw some ex staff around Dahlonega that told us that they were so happy that we were pulling our kid out of HLA.

This is a good question. How can he be a director of something he's legally barred from doing? Doesn't make much sense...
No license in GA:

He can do it because he does not do clinical supervision of the counselors. He is more of a legistics person. Director of Counseling is not really a good title for what he does. He more manages the counseling department. HLA should have licensed therapist doing the supervision of their counselors. I am not sure they do at this point or not.
-
McMillon gives counseling advice at Parent Workshops...
-
He has a masters degree in counseling. He is qualifies to do that. Also, in the parent workshops he gives parenting advice. He doesn't do therapy.
-
No, he gives counseling advice which may include parenting advice. I sat through his sessions.
-
No, he gives counseling advice which may include parenting advice. I sat through his sessions.
There is still nothing illegal or unethical about it as long as he is in communication with a licensed therapist about what he talks about. I know that everyone that participats in the workshop meets after every workshop to discuss what they talked about with famillies. The clinical supervisors are always at those meetings.

He wasn't in touch with mine.
-
If he has a Masters in Counseling, why does he not have a license?
Was Chris Allen the ony licensed person there?
Why is Holloway not licensed in the State?
Is the State going to insist they get licensed?
Well, maybe these are all mute points, at this venture. From the financial
end, it is not too sunny there.

Chris Allen was licensed as well as Mike Witherspoon when he was there and Cheryl Clarke who worked at RCI. I can't think of anyone else.

We contacted GA SW College (now called GA Southwestern State University) and they do not offer a Masters program in Counseling. Call for yourself to verify - (229) 928-1331. Can someone explain???????
-
http://www.gsw.edu/academics/bulletin/contents/gr.htm (http://www.gsw.edu/academics/bulletin/contents/gr.htm)
They don't even offer advanced degrees in counseling of any kind. No psychology, no sociology, no social work.
Do I smell another...phony?
-
Perhaps this is why he's not licensed? Because he has no degree?
-
Any video out there on this program? The lawsuit (ala WWASPS)?
Thanks!

No - Troy does not offer a Masters program in Counseling and Human Development. They only offer a Masters in Counseling and Psychology.

Is/was there ever, a degree hanging in his office?
Maybe he got a master's in something else and they just listed it as C/HD because it sounded better for the position.

If this is all true, this is an enormous disappointment to his current and former colleagues. Honestly, there are those that have "real" degrees
that are both current and former staff. This is just one school, too.
Also, John does not live on Highlander.

No one said he did. Some IP's are from Highalnder. that could be where the backup server is.

Leave the turtles out of this you hla whore :flame:

Johnny Ringo has a phony degree. What a surprise. Hence, no license to practice - never had it, never will. And he's the director. But this is HLA's MO. They had Tom Sisk who they had the audacity to call a "doctor" and bill for as a "doctor," yet, strangely, he never had a degree.
Anyone see a pattern here?
Let's not forget Dr. Clay the non-doctor, unlicensed "addictions" person who apparently did his dissertation on mainlining morphine.
HLA is a JOKE.
