He could never get another job in the industry after that (there are other posts to support this) and is now blaming HLA/RCS. My point being that this may be enough motivation to lie and spend years here on fornits trying to discredit the school.

Discrediting someone without facts is irresponsible, which apparently you have no problem doing. You have no credibility where HLA/RCS is concerned as you were not privy to documents; those documents that are public, apparently, are too numerous for your cognitive capacity. To immaturely promote/market a school that you have no clue about is morally, ethically irresponsible - reprehensible and infantile.
Unlike illiterate, sniveling blowhards like you, we care about the children left behind. So if you see that as an unethical agenda, that speaks volumes of your integrity. These decent people that you continuously berate in this Forum, would take a bullet for one of those children. When you spend countless hours, days, months, and years listening to the anguish of broken parents of children that have been raped, cold-cocked, zip-tied, beaten to a pulp, had hot urine thrown in their face and the list goes on, then you have the right to open your despicable mouth.
There is a school that is hiring that holds narcissistic, unethical predators in high esteem ... 'Warden', is it? Why don't you apply, it appears you would fit in perfectly.

Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction"Thanks for clarifying, Guest3. Whooter is a spokesperson for RCS and we realize he is lying about RCS. The reports tell the truth.
You make up lies about RCS because they found out you lied on your employment application about serving time for selling drugs to kids. So they terminated you on the spot (which was the right thing to do), DJ. You cannot work in any aspect of the industry due to your record and now you blame RCS.
If you would like me to re-post the link I would be happy to.
...
This is not true. Buccellato knew of the backgrounds of staff, exploiting those people, so that he could control them. Documents /emails attest to that fact. There were numerous employees that had previous drug problems, including counselors.
The only people that the backgrounds were hidden from were the parents.

Let's not forget "CREEEKSIDE" which accroding to THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE was never registered. Also the ORS DIRECTOR never heard of "CREEKSIDE" and the DJJ DIRECTOR faintly recalled a contract with "CREEKSIDE."

Guest 3 I am surprised your dialogue is allowed. Mine was deleted without notice:) I gather one cannot advise another "they are out of their league."
To the above poster... Guest 3 has read ALL the ORS regulations, along with myself, and Deborah. There was constant dialogue between the ORS and the activists aforementioned, including DJ, to tighten the loopholes in their regulations and to finally require Hidden Lake Academy that was "with purpose" "operating undar the radar and allowed to for over 11 years(at the time of ORS licensing). Documents and emails between the ORS and the aforementioned activists, also shared with the GAO agents are solid. Their findings, "all the Georgia agencies, including the Georgia GAO and the ORS repeatedly dropped the ball." Among other things. Agent recommendation " Go to the Federal Att. Gen. of Georgia."
The last exchange with the ORS in 2010, emails and the Governor's office(phone conversation) was still demanding accountability.
Guest 3 met with the GAO agents assigned to Hidden Lake Academy in Washington, D.C. and the GAO interviewed countless others by visits in Georgia and lengthy phone conversations, emails, document collection over 4 months.
Mr. Buccellato dodged their bullet, only because of the on-going Class suit in Federal court.

Guest 3 - I am in a quandry, what say you? I really would prefer for the book to be completed before releasing all the documents and emails... but this dribble and continuous, factless, moronic diatribe needs to stop. Should we open the vault or what? "Let 'er rip?"
Oops. my attorney/agent is on the phone...divine intervention???

It was interesting to read some of the history.From Deb''s post should have quoted this.
At one point HLA was the second largest private employer in Lumpkin County, with 138 faculty and staff, 90 of whom lived in the county. Additionally, 12 local people were employed by the food service contractor used by the school.
It appears the Ridge Creek School has turned the corner and is rebuilding quickly to grow back the business that it once had.

Someone threw them into the drama box.
The threads are not there either. The last posting under RCS is on December 23rd and it was not 'the active' thread nor the largest. Major violation threads have disappeared. The thread created by the "gatekeeper" has disappeared ...viewtopic.php?f=41&t=32533
