Things can only get better now that they are getting the proper oversight and are licensed. The rest will fall into place, it takes time to shake it all out. This is what everyone was pushing for. Everybody wins !!

Unfortunately you are dreaming. One either has ethics or they don't.

the "oversight" you have now is a sham. it's practically non-existent. i read the ORS report on the violations, they missed alot of crucial stuff. Most importantly, they still use "fall-out", which pits the kids against each other and causes violent conflicts. or the quality of the food....it's horrible. like prison food. i had full metabolic screen when i quit the place, i had extremely high levels of all sorts of nasty stuff. ever seen "super size me"? they use the cheapest possible ingredients at HLA.

Ethics is the questioning, examination, and study of Morals.
one either has morals, or not.
my question for current HLA employess would be (particularly for the millitary and christian/mormon people), Have you examined your morals, or do you allow others to do so for you?

Everyone was asking for oversight and licensing which we got. If this is not working or helping then we should not fight for it anymore. Why license the places then?

To answer your question, ORS was better than nothing for the children. Although for years they did nothing, although they knew of HLA's operation as a CCI. Yes, there is absolute proof.
ORS questioned and then backed down over the years. The class suit pretty much pushed them into a corner and even as late as November, after all the reports and CPS findings, they were going to back down, until we lobbied. Then December, the ORS declared them a CCI(Child Caring Institution). You will notice the ORS has not published their findings during the investigation. They only publish anything after the CCI call. ORS in my opinion has a moral and legal obligation to publish those findings.
ORS has Sovereign Immunity, so ORS can push papers pretty much all they want. ATT. GEN. BAKER, protects the ORS in the State of Georgia.
However, if they do not do their job, then he can step in. Politics, why would he? Simple, election year or press spin. Att. General Eliot Spitzer did it in NY, but he made an ethical(moral) call.
Therefore, it is not only Buccellato whose ethics may be questioned. If anything goes wrong, ORS should be held accountable now.
Also the GAO should be held accountable as they are aware of what has transpired and continues. They are Federal, above the ORS, and slow.
The Federal government is involved because of students being sent across state lines with IEP's, other States funding due to the "No Child Left Behind Act".
