--- Quote from: "goose" ---I wish you guys would stop using the report about the resident being kicked in the head 10-15 times. That was my son that got his head kicked in. Is this the only report you have to make your report, why don't you have something more recent.

Goose: my child was beaten and attacked at HLA/RCS as well. Actually a total of three times. None of them were ever reported or written up so therefore they never occurred. Those disposable cameras came in handy because I still have the photos of the injuries. They went to ORS after my child was pulled. There was another boy that was attacked and beaten in the middle of the night with socks filled with bars of soap and coins. Again, no report written up on that one either so guess what - it never occurred. I can site many more examples of the violent outbursts that took place that were never reported to the ORS or written up by the staff. The ORS reports will never be complete or accurate based on what we've experienced.

Ridge Creek School is regulated by the state of Georgia and the kids meet with DHS professionals during their stay there. I think what you are describing occurred at HLA. I think the improvements have been difficult for the school as they grow but the transparency has benefited the children and the school alike. We need to remember that these are at-risk teens and they will act out and get into fights, they are sexually active and events are going to occur. But I think we can all agree that regulation and oversight has been good for the schools transition from HLA to RCS and will only continue to improve through 2011.

--- Quote from: "goose" ---Not at this time, I am just seeking information right now and ran across this site, started reading and was stunned to see this report in just about every thread about this school. It just shocked me and upset me to see how many times this report was being used as “proof” how bad the kids were at the school. From the information I have learned, first hand, and second hand (my son), I will handle things in my own time.
More surprised than anything at this point that six month old reports are the best you have. There is more out there.

When you say there is more "out there," where exactly do you mean? We can only access what's online from DHS while FOIA requests work their way through the system.
What other items do you have?

HLA eventually was subject to the same inspections and oversight. Of course this was only after we forced it on to Buchi.

So then what are you basing this on Whooter? How could you possibly know?

Its forced on everyone, Bruce. How many schools/programs walk into the DHS office and ask for oversight for their business? lol
