Title: Chris Perkins and his jobs in boot camps and other programs
Post by: Anonymous on December 14, 2007, 05:23:35 PM

Chris Perkins was a director of Swan Valley Academy until it was shut down amid abuse allegations. A news report came out yesterday (12/13/07) reporting Chris Perkins background and his new job as director of the Maryland State Juvenile Facilities.  This morning Perkins resigned. This was thanks to MAP--Montana Advocates Program, and the Great Falls Tribune!  KUDOS!!!!  :D

Note to Programmies: Perfectly ordinary people WILL TRACK YOU DOWN and WILL cost you your careers if at all possible.

That's just how it goes.

If you don't like it, find another job, stat, and drop dime on your fellow child torturers so you can avoid the whirlwind.

w00t!! Great news, but it's sickening to read how the officials in Maryland take such a non-compassionate(read ass covering) tone when talking about the situation.

The official in MD -- The secretary of Juvenile Services met Chris Perkins while both were involved in some kind of "project" for the pennsylvania VisionQuest in the past.  Also the owner of Cornerstone Programs (which owned Swan Valley Academy where Perkin used to work) had something to do with Maryland Juvenile Justice Services. So now all the "Program People" are infiltrating the juvenile justice services making the "Program-Way-of-Life" inevitable.

After reading this blog, guess what I discovered? Mr. Perkins is back working w/ kids. It's foster kids this time and he has changed states and is now in Florida, Altoona to be exact working for Visionqest at Rivendell formerly the Boys Ranch. I'm about to open your link and read the abuse charges which after having met this gentleman once and listening to his approach to discipline, I know that I am not going to have any problem believing anything that I will read.

Looks like the wiki has since been removed.  Check the out the news articles here instead:

There is more on Google.  Click here (http://http://www.google.com/search?q=Swan+Valley+Chris+Perkins&oe=UTF-8) (Washington Post too).

PS:  I don't suppose you'd be able to elaborate on "his approach to discipline" without compromising your identity.  I'd love to hear it.
