The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Court Ruling Soon
« on: March 27, 2007, 12:14:27 PM »
Regardless of whether or not the class is certified HLA will not be allowed to operate business as usual. I see this place closing within 3 months. With all the negative publicity they will not be able to survive. As far as Len is concerned I'm sure he will pop up elsewhere, probably outside the scrutiny of regulatory agencies that are now wise to his practices.

Elan School / End Institutionalized Abuse Against Children Act of 2005

"I dont know what makes you think Maine is so overregulated".
Why not just take a look at a little entity known as Dept. of Professional and Financial Regulation. Now you might think with a name like that it monitors programs such as Elan for example. Not a chance. Nope for that you may have to take a peek at DHHS (Dept. of Health and Human Services), OSA (Office of Substance Abuse) and of course let's not forget the Dept. of Education, after all Elan does profess itself to be a school. Now amongst these four separate entities who do you suppose would be the watchdog over Elan? Your guess is as good as mine. As far as money being plundered around the state let's not for a moment forget who controls the purse strings, yep you guessed it, the Democrats.

Elan School / End Institutionalized Abuse Against Children Act of 2005

Yes programs should be regulated and yes they definately should be regulated. However this should be a separate bill and not open the door to governmental regulation of all private business. As far as Maine is concerned I've lived here only 7 years and what I've seen is it is one of the most over regulated states in the country. The real problem in Maine is that there is so much beauracratic bullshit going on that the left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing and thats how the more fucked up programs survive. It's hard to believe that Maine is the second highest taxed state in the nation yet it has no oversight in how public monies are spent on these shit holes.

It never ceases to amaze me how debates on here always turn personal. WTF does any of this crap between DJ and The Who have to do with the original post? I say give them their own forum and let them go one on one without any interference from any other posters so we can end this bullshit once and for all.  ::bangin::

Anybody know the condition of the girl or whether or not she is getting the treatment she needs?

It worked for me but I think it has something to do with the site cookies. I haven't been able to post for a week.

The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Fire Drills at HLA

Aren't residential facilities required to do more than just once a month fire drills during the day?

Elan School / Maia vs. Kruglick?

"Sometimes we New Yorkers can take pride in the actions of our state government"
Thanks for reminding me why I moved out of that shit hole to the tranquility of Maine. Now I'm neither a supporter of Elan or a follower of this Maia character but I did see something of interest in the blog comments that should be looked into if true.

"But now who will investigate NYSED for its recent amendments that permit corporal punishment of disabled children under the guise of "aversive interventions" -- interventions for which there is no research support, interventions which violate human rights treatises, and interventions which fly in the face of federal protections for developmentally disabled youth?"

Yup kinda sounds like the NYSED should clean up it's own act before telling other states to clean up theirs.

1.8 mil for a place this size is a mere drop in the bucket folks. Don't let them fool you with this crying act. The question remains...where did all that money go?

Daytop Village / Has anybody been to Daytop lately?
« on: December 27, 2006, 02:05:52 PM »
Well hello Tricia. I'm glad that you have done so well with your career. I must say it's impressive for a former Daytop Counselor to become "classically educated" and become an MSW. You'd think that by some of the rantings on this board that would be an impossibility.

The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Paychecks Bouncing
« on: December 22, 2006, 07:54:51 AM »
What a wonderful way to tell your employees to have a wonderful Christmas with your families. That's gonna go over real well for morale. Maybe they can keep this place open with interrns and volunteers otherwise I can see this place closing up in lets say 90 days? Now the question has got to be, where did all that money go?
