--- Quote from: "Oscar" ---According to a StrugglingTeens article in 2003, the owners came from a facility called "Gables Stone Mountain". I researched a little but found no information. Can anyone help me with this?

I've been unable to find anything on Gables Stone Mountain (as of yet). However, that 'Seen 'n Heard' piece on ST did reveal some interesting insight as to the original intentions and/or mindset of the Shepherd's Hill Farm founders. Or... it could also be a Woodbury Reports typo! Here it is for posterity's sake; color emphasis added:
SHEPHERD'S HILL FARM RECEIVES ACCREDITATION
(November 4, 2003) Beth Embry from The Shepherd's Hill Farm, 706-779-5736, http://www.shepherdhillfarm.org, announced their on-campus junior/senior high school has recently received its accreditation from The Georgia Accrediting Commission. No longer with Gables Stone Mountain, they now operate the Shepherds' Hill Farm Discipline Camp, an outdoor residential therapeutic program and school for youth struggling with behavioral issues. Their 80-acre camp strives to equip youth with spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical tools, "building relationships and trust between staff and students, based on biblical truth."[/list]

Oscar:
Google can find some trace of a trial where the text is:

Brasile v. Brasile
It seems that they had some kind of contract with a local school. Lucky for the girl the father did have to pay, so she was maybe released based on the ruling of the court.
