Don't readers just hate it when THEWHO posts something that is correct and decent?


It happens so rarely it's hard to tell. Let's not allow the trainwreck that is Cindy derail yet another conversation. If you want to kiss his ass please do so in his designated cess pool of nonsense.

That's what its there for, right now this thread is focused on Pinnacle and whether or not they operating legally with appropriate staff.


Your thoughts?

Over and over? Stop trolling me Who.
You, be fair. There's no mention of her being a nurse. There are 15 Debra Hansen's listed, how is it that you picked that one? Do you have some inside information? Looking over the list, I see now. Curious why you didn't pick the 'active' social worker?

The TRT fits her best, but as I stated, it may not be her.
Even if she happened to be a nurse, she still doesn't meet the requirements.
(b) have a BA or BS degree or equal training and experience in a related field,
(c) have a minimum of two years of outdoor youth program administrative experience,
(d) have a minimum of 30 semester or 45 quarter hours education in recreational therapy or related experience or one year Outdoor Youth Program field experience,

I wouldn't waste my time. Just another prime example of how the industry operates. Programs operate illegally and Utah DHS allows it.
BTW, Robert, they are a licensed program but appear to be in violation of several regulations, and those only involve staff requirements. Apparently Stettler didn't confirm their information, just took what they said as the truth. Does that sound familiar?

I wouldn?t choose any of them because I don?t have all the facts ? If I wasn?t sure I wouldn?t post anything
I am not trolling you Deborah, I am sorry if it appears that way.  You provided a link to Debra Marie Hansen and you chose to post one of the licenses that was expired over one that was active.  Without having all the facts I don?t see why you would post information at all especially when you are dealing with peoples careers, I don?t think it is right unless the person has been convicted of something and you are trying to protect other people.  Corporations are one thing; they can hire people to protect their name, but you can really hurt a person?s life and career by posting inaccurate information about them

I think you have been looking at these licensing sites long enough to know an expired license isn?t necessarily bad, in fact it usually means they moved up and are licensed at a different level and allow their old license to expire or they moved to a different state.

Pinnacle is non profit. Does this require some sort of board to decide what the directors salary is?

Cindy you routinely claim things to be true without ever bothering to check the facts, as a result of your kind of lies kids are abused.

Deborah is trying to verify the facts concerning this place, if you want to assist her get to it, otherwise move on. It's not as if you contribute anything anyway.

So what is the point in getting licensed if it doesn?t really mean anything?  Why do people here push for it so much?
That may explain why these places don?t want to go thru the whole license process or pay into regulation because it doesn?t add value or mean anything.  Is this possible?

THE WHO:
Once these facilities are LICENSED...by whatever means:
When the facility is found to be in violation of student's human rights, neglectful, or when the students are physically abused--then guess what?
The LICENSING AGENCY can be forced to revoke the license, and to close down this facility.
Strange how that works, HUH?

What "the who" doesn't get is "THE PLACES" don't want to be licensed or regulated.  No one ever said they did.
It is the public that needs and demands licensing and regulation.
Again, "the who" shows his true colors.

Whole thing stinks like a rotten tuna sandwich. What is with this probationary period deal in Utah anyway? Is it like the 5 dollar fee you pay to get into the Captain Crunch Club?
