Ridge Creek "School" - Serious Safety Issues/ORS Violation

[Dysfunction Junction]

Well, this rape occurred and wasn't reported to police or DHS, but RCS got caught with the coverup when investigators got a tip and interviewed the victim.
It stands to reason that there were other incidents but because RCS routinely covers up sex assaults, or rape in this case, the victims of these crimes have to suffer in silence.

RCS claims to be a "school," but schools are duty-bound by law to report crimes against students.  RCS apparently does not report crimes against the inmates housed there to the police.

Based on record review, resident and staff interviews, the agency failed to provide for the needs,
care, protection, and supervision of the children in care;
Findings Include:
(1) During an interviews conducted on September 1, 2010 from 1:00 pm-3:30 pm with Residents
101, 102, 108, 109, 110, and 112 in which all residents acknowledged that they are aware of
residents engaging in sexually inappropriate behavior. It was reported that the residents would
sneak off in designated areas unbeknownst to staff.
(2) Record review on September 1, 2010 of Incident Report dated 06-06-10 for Resident #11
revealed Resident #11 along with 6 other females disclosed to staff an incident involving sexual
activity between Resident #11 and an older male resident. It was documented that Resident #11
appeared upset and stated that what occurred between herself (R11) and the male resident was
an unwelcome encounter.

Here's the definition of "sexual activity":

Noun 1. sexual activity - activities associated with sexual intercourse; "they had sex in the back seat"

definition

So, now we see "sexual activity" by defintion means "sexual intercourse."  We also see from the report that this sexual intercourse was "unwelcome," i.e. the girl was raped. "Unwelcome sexual intercourse," Whooter.  Read it carefully and try to understand what it means.  It's the definition of "rape."

RCS did not report this rape to the police, nor did they report the serious battery on a staff to police either.  Only after police/DHS investigate do they find out the true nature of the crimes committed on the grounds of the private correctional facility.

The Dahlonega Nugget also reported a "near riot" on the grounds as well, according toa local resident.  Who's running this place and why is it so unsafe for inmates and guards?

Rape/sex assault/beatings, etc. seem to be happening regularly there according to DHS reports.

Why are posters like Jill Ryan and Dysfunction Junction teaming up and supporting posts like the following?

I have read the ORS reports and there is no mention of Rape at all nor have they reported any rapes.  I have asked Jill why this false information is being spread and she avoids the question which is telling in itself.  Does anyone know what motives these people would have to make up stories about Ridge Creek School?  If there really was a problem with Ridge Creek School then why would people have to resort to making up reports that dont exist.

In my experience if a place is bad then it is enough to just expose the truth.  With this desperation to fabricate stories about RCS I think there are other motives involved which is getting in the way of being honest with the readers.  Not sure how this affects the validity of the cut and paste ORS reports which we have seen so far from Jill, but I think it would be in the best interest of the readers to insist on a link back to the original ORS Documents to insure the reports are not being altered like we are seeing here.

A worthwhile thread may be to catalog the lies and altered documents that are presented here on fornits to attack this school by these people.

So why do you and Dysfunction Junction claim that a child was raped at RCS when there are no reports saying that?  You and DJ place the links out here but then claim children are being raped.  Why would you try to mislead the readers Jill?

This was answered several times, Whooter.  "Unwelcome sexual activity" is a synonym for "rape."  You can stop asking.

Jill has already cleared this up, DJ, she verified that the ORS reports did not use the word rape.  I am going to stick with the wording of the ORS Reports.  You are fee to think what you like.

[Dysfunction Junction]

Great, then you can stop asking.  I can't understand why you kept asking if you already got an answer.  There's a whole separate thread on the rape anyway.  Let's move on.

I noticed the report never used the word "student" or "school" either.  The reports indicate that RCS markets itself falsely as a "school" with "students," but they are a "CCI" with "residents."  I wonder why RCS would market itself falsely like that?

RCS is not recognized by the state of Georgia as a private school nor is it considered licensed by the state as a school; it is considered a child caring institution. Parents need to know this so they can make an informed decision before placing their child there. The fact that RCS is permitted to call itself a "school" is very questionable to me.

Whooter - if you question this call the school board yourself. They'll confirm the facts for you.

It is called  "Ridge Creek School"  and is recognized under that name by the state of Georgia.  I will need to go with that,  if the state makes them drop the school off of their name then I think we can all call it something different, but for now we need to call it what it is.  Even DJ calls it "Ridge Creek School" in his thread headers.

...

So you agree that the term "school" is just a term and does not really hold any real credibility because the state of Georgia has not licensed or recognized RCS as an institution of learning?

[Dysfunction Junction]

Yes, we all agree it's not a school.  You can't have a school with no students, can you?  What do they call a place that has "residents" like RCS?  A detention center?

Anyway, this is off topic and Whooter should start a new thread about his theories surrounding RCS.  This thread is for "Serious Safety Issues/ORS Violations".  Thanks.

Keeping in mind that Buchi played this same game with the state for years with HLA. He swore up and down that HLA was a 'traditional boarding school', yet he advertised and told ed cons it was a 'theraputic boarding school'. He did this as a way of avoiding oversite and regulation.

With that having been cleared up, Whooter why don't you share for us the definition of 'unwanted sexual activity'?

[Dysfunction Junction]

*crickets*

I think he is trying to avoid the obvious, Robert.

[FreeOfCC]

It appears very important to the shills that these therapeutic torture institutions be classified as schools.

Since when does insurance pay for tuition at traditional boarding schools?
To which boarding schools are parents able to deduct their expenses for traveling to visit their "disabled" child?
How many traditional boarding schools deny visits home as punishment and run year round?

The truth, they're Therapeutic (in name only) child caring institutions which are required by law to have an academic component. Do any of the accrediting agencies realize that some children are denied their school time as punishment? That most of the kids return home several credits behind their peers?
Have parents come close to realizing that these accreditation agencies are For-Profit businesses and couldn't care less about their child's education. Their primary interest is maximizing membership dues and running effective PR campaigns to keep their images up.

Ask Buchi how the "Special Needs School" classification came to be.
B: We're unique. Think you might add a new classification for us? Good PR if we could be the first to receive it.
S: Sure, but we might have to raise the dues on that one. Bein "special" and all.
B: No problem BFF. Now, let me remind you that those academic standards for traditional schools don't quiet fit our uniqueness either. I'm sure you can understand. Our first priority is "therapy", but rest assured, no patient who leaves HLA will be too far behind their counterparts in public school. We've already got several traditional schools lined up who'll take ex-HLAers, no matter their GPA, and get them caught up. If they're too far behind we'll just keep em an extra year. Know what I mean?
S: I completely understand and I think we'll be able to meet your needs. Just make the check out to.... and we'll get the ball rollin.

The man should be in jail for fraud. Instead, they're letting him die a slow death. He's hobbled along, has resorted to taking juvenile delinquents; just as many predicted would happen when the light finally shown on the dank darkness that was HLA.
You can't erradicate Evil. But you can sure jump up and down and draw attention to it wherever you find it soes others might avoid the inherent dangers.
