Ridge Creek - Official Shill Thread

[Dysfunction Junction]

I CANNOT believe Kris Kennedy's "testimonial" is still up there! Her son, Patrick, went to HLA (not Ridge Creek School) and HE COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTER HE LEFT!!! What kind of success story is that??

That's pretty sad, Guest3.  The vultures at RCS are using this kid's story post mortem after his suicide.  He obviously didn't get the help he needed at HLA.  Now he's dead and RCS is exploiting him.

There was a whole thread about this and the HLA "Chapel Fund". Monies were donated to HLA on behalf of Patrick, but no one knows what happened to the funds. It's reprehensible.

From another thread:

And, the sweet young man that passed away in Texas, that did not get the proper help, yet his trusting parents, had donations sent to HLA.. Remember him when you look in the mirror, then call his parents and ask forgiveness. In case he became just a dollar amount, his name was Patrick Kennedy.

That is really low.  RCS is using the story of a kid who they did not help and who killed himself right after leaving and holding it out as a "success story."  That's as low as these people can go...

Thanks for pointing it out, Guest3.

“After graduating from RCS my son continued his education and graduated cum laude and received his Phi Beta Kappa recognition. He is a strapping 150 pounds now – afar cry from the 200 + prior to Ridge Creek. He had abandoned using all anti-depressants while at RCS and continues to remain off of them.

Whooter - This is from the old HLA web site. This boy never attended Ridge Creek School. This is blatant false advertising!!!!

I thought HLA and RCS is the same.  Is this true or not?  Maybe I am wrong, let me know.

...

Semantics Whooter - and you know this. The boy did not graduate from RCS. He graduated from HLA. If they wish to write RCS (formerly known as HLA) that would be acceptable.

So they should be treated as different institutions is what you are saying and spoken about separately.  I see what you are saying.  Does DJ agree with this?

We all know that HLA/RCS are the same. HOWEVER, RCS should not try to mislead parents into believing this so-called testimony is current and relevant. You are the one that keeps saying the HLA and RCS are two different entities. I think you of all people would object to this tactic of advertising, am I wrong?

Guest3, Whooter is the one who is doing the advertising for RCS.  Of course he approves of it.  He keeps posting it working like a dog for his masters.

Whooter - is this true? A "Yes" or "No" answer will suffice.

I think it should be applied fairly, Guest3.  If we decide to keep them separate then we should not try to mis lead parents by stating problems that occurred while they were HLA should not be applied to RCS.  We should only attribute those events which occurred since they became RCS and leave the rest.  If we combine the two then we should combine all of it.  I am just looking for some consistency.

So then you agree this is false, deceptive and misleading advertising?

No I dont,  I cannot speak for them.  There needs to be an agreement that HLA and RCS will be treated separately.  Fornits posters treat them separately and together depending on the agenda or argument du jour.  This may make a good topic for discussion.

Wow. How convenient it is that you "cannot speak for them" now, but when it's in your interest you sing like a canary. The word hypocrite comes to mind about now...

So, what are your thoughts, Guest3, do you think we should separate out HLA and RCS or combine them?

This canary is in the coal mine, Guest3.  The louder he sings, the closer the end.  Whooter's run as false-advertiser-in-chief is about over since he has been caught lying so many times.  They need a new mouthpiece.  This one is failing badly.

Please start another thread to argue this point.  This thread is for parent testimonials only.

Ridge Creek School Parent:

“I can honestly say that I shall miss RCS more than my child. At the conclusion of my initial tour of the school, I told the admissions person to please just give me my daughter back. He said that the school would do everything possible to make that happen. And you did” I will always marvel and respect RCS’s ability to take threads of despair, anger, distrust and hurt in families and weave them back together in the form of hope, faith, renewed trust and harmony”
