--- Quote ---3) Change Academy Lake of the Ozarks is staffed by former employees of West Ridge Academy, Provo Canyon, and Hidden Lake Academy. For more information on this visit the Calo staff page and examine the biographies of the first three staff members. What is important to remember is that these schools all have reports of abuse.

...I thought I recognized this guy from a few West Ridge YouTube clips. In fact, Proficio CEO Kenneth Allen is also the Director of West Ridge Academy. This quite pertinent fact about his work history seems to have been omitted from his Proficio bio. I wonder why...

Can't let those nice parents paying big bucks for CALO's "therapeutic opportunities" think that ... MAYBE, just MAYBE ... the same basic methods used on *their* kids are the same basic methods used on the riff-raff at West Ridge Academy, eh?
Ursus:
Lols... Did a little more checking... It appears that Proficio's President/COO Paul Watson and CFO Daniel E. Griffiths are also key players at West Ridge Academy.

Proficio is supported by:
West Ridge Academy[/list]
This would appear to be the understatement of the century.
