An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

What the fuck are you doing reproducing in the first place?

I wish the kid went out and played in traffic- it would have stopped his filthy DNA from progressing, and it would have saved the girl a life as the daughter of Randall Hinton.

See, this is the type of stuff that just does not need to be said IMHO!!!

Anyway, I think it's probably best that Randall get into another line of work. I never knew the guy personally......but, in the Tranquility Bay Documentary he came across as being very sadistic. Perhaps, it's just the way they spliced the video together, I just don't know?

I do have to give Randall props though.  Since he has agreed to leave the industry instead of trying to stay in it. It is unfortunate though that a number of kids had to endure this man pepper spraying them, and treating them in the manner in which he did. He only received 25 days in jail though? So, that means that either the courts think that these kids were lying......or that the courts don't care nearly enough about teens rights in general?

I think that Randall's job was not an easy one. I think that it could be  extremely challenging at times. It takes a special person to do a job like that, and to do it well. It's tough. However, it is a position in which he chose. Nobody chose it for him.

So hopefully if there are other staff out there in this industry that are reading this, and realize they are doing more harm then good.....hopefully, they will make the right choice, and get out of the business as well.

I'm sure Randall will be monitored for quite some time, and we'll be alerted the second he signs up with another school, or program.

As far as Randall's kids go, whoever said that comment above is one sick individual. It makes you look as bad, if not worse then Randall Hinton himself!

OMFG.

What the hell??!

The man belongs nowhere but prison for a very long time and you're showing compassion and empathy for him???!!!

Holy bloody hell... ::puke::  ::puke::  ::puke::

Hey you guys. Please register with the news tribune's forum and voice your opinions!

Journalists read them and sometimes contact you.

Thanks!

Yes! Also look up contact info for the individual journalists who write on the topic, keep it in your address book w/ notes or comments to remind you what story they covered n such. Write to them directly, briefely (200 words or less is a good rule of thumb) and let them know your thoughts on their writing and that you'll make yourself available in case they need a statement or interview out of you in future (if that be the case, of course.) Always be polite! Never get into a pissing match with somebody who buys ink by the barrel!

Of course! Also, I added the link, which I'd forgotten.

I saw that Deborah, thanks!

FBI investigating teen's death at Missouri boot camp
By SAM HANANEL
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - FBI officials said late Thursday the agency is launching a preliminary investigation into the death of a student at a Missouri boot camp for troubled teens.

The Government Accountability Office had asked the FBI to look into potential criminal wrongdoing in the 2004 death of 15-year-old Roberto Reyes.

Jeff Lanza, a spokesman for the FBI's Kansas City, Mo., office, said the agency will gather evidence for the next 30 to 90 days to determine whether a full investigation is needed.

“We're seeking to determine if there is evidence that a crime has been committed and, if so, if that crime is a violation of federal law,â€

Randall Hinton, left, proposed a military-style school for troubled teens to the Boonville City Council in Spring 2005.
He and his brother, Russell, hoped to operate the school at the former Kemper Military School campus, now owned by the city.
The proposal was voted down by the council.

The Royal Gorge Academy official facing a felony false imprisonment charge as well as assault and reckless endangerment allegations will have to wait a while to find out if additional counts will be filed.

Meanwhile, an affidavit indicates Academy staff members interviewed by investigators offer different takes on the official's actions.

 
Randall Hinton of Cañon City, 32, appeared in Fremont County District Court Jan. 24, his second appearance since being arrested Jan. 9 following a Cañon City Police Department investigation that originated in December.

Hinton is project supervisor for the Academy, a school for troubled teenagers.

Judge David Thorson granted Deputy District Attorney Thom LeDoux additional time today to file new charges, if any, against Hinton. Hinton's attorney, Michael Gillick, said LeDoux was ?swamped? and that he had no issue with the continuance.

 
 
An affidavit indicates the CCPD investigation that began Dec. 30 of last year was prompted by a complaint by Patty Pacheco, an executive secretary at the school, who said ?she cannot deal with the way the students are treated by Hinton any longer,? according to a report by an investigating officer who interviewed her.

The affidavit reads the secretary told the initial investigating officer that a new, 17-year female student, who had run away from the school on just her second day before being returned the following day, was made to ?lie face down on the floor, arms to her side and palms up for hours? as punishment.

Pacheco indicated the girl was having her period at the time she was on the ground, according to the officer.

 
 
The affidavit reads the girl ?wanted to change her pants, and Hinton told her no.?

However, Gillick said following today's hearing that another employee, Holly Simpson, a former police officer, said the girl was able to use the restroom, and Simpson accompanied her on restroom visits.

Gillick also contends staff members interviewed by police were ?not present during the entire incident.?

 
 
?Those in the know clearly understand there was no inappropriate action by Randall Hinton,? said Gillick in an interview following today's hearing.

However, the affidavit indicates prior alleged incidents concerning Hinton have concerned staff members.

Pacheco recalled a May 2006 incident where she saw a male student emerge from a meeting with Hinton with a black eye, ?which he didn't have before he went up,? according to the report.

 
 
The affidavit also reports another staff member, Ryan Robley, said he once witnessed Hinton grab a male student ?by the back of his head and smacked his face against the floor a couple of times,? causing the student to bleed from his mouth.

However, both Pacheco and Robley had positive comments about Hinton, aside from the alleged abuse. The affidavit reads Pacheco thought Hinton was an ?awesome? boss while Robley felt Hinton was ?a good man, but that he may have an anger problem.?

In spite of the allegations being levied against Hinton, two parents of students at the school, including the parent of the girl, were sympathetic toward Hinton. The affidavit indicates that the girl's mother said her daughter ?can be manipulative and was a difficult child.? Also, the father of another female student said ?kids that go to that school have problems, they lie, are deceiving, on drugs and have other problems.?

 
 
In fact, the affidavit reads the girl whom Hinton allegedly forced face-down on the floor would repeatedly hit herself in the head with a stapler prior to the alleged abuse.

The affidavit also indicates that Academy Vice President Brian Lemons had been hesitant in providing copies of school policies for investigating officers and that he needed to consult with the school's attorney before complying with requests for such documents.

However, Gillick said school officials have been compliant with officers' requests.

 
 
Hinton's next scheduled court appearance will be 11:15 am. March 7.
