Ridge Creek "School" - Unpaid Staff and Resident Riot

[goose]

Ok,

I am unable at this time to cut and past the header information. Show details does not work. I see that Brown Eyes has posted the header information, which is correct to the e-mail I have right down to the time it was sent. I am going to see if I can print the e-mail, and scan it as a word doc, or maybe a pdf file and then cut and past.

But guys, I am telling you there is more there. Some should be comeing out shortly.

Welcome to  RBWO(ROOM BOARD AND WATCHFUL OVERSIGHT) sans the oversight.  Ah, where is the ORS, ORCC, DHS, MHADDAD, and DFCS on these incidents and untrained, unqualified,unlicensed, limited staff??

[Jill Ryan]

Also, the original letter needs to go to the State licensing board....  Chirs Grimwood is NOT A LICENSED MSW with the STATE OF GEORGIA.

Ok Jill,

Just for clarification, how do you know that he is not a licensed MSW? Is there a web site with the state I can check to determine. I have no problems at this point sending it on, if I can verifiy that you are correct that he is not licensed.

The problem is, Chris may be putting MSW behind his name on e-mails, the school only list him as the Executive Director, with no Alphabet soup behind his name.

Follow directions...  no one is licensed but Buccellatoin Psychology.  No one holds an MSW license, nor a Professional Counselor license according to the State of Georgia.
The only staff, former, that held a license was Joseph Stapp, and he is gone.

CLAY ERICKSON, THE M.D. HAD GO RE: STATE OF GEORGIA  IT USE TO BE CLAY ERICKSON M.D.  NOW THEY STATE HE RECEIVED HIS M.D.

 IT IS NO DIFFERENT FOR GRIMWOOD.  HE CANNOT USE THE MSW, SO IT WAS CHANGED ON THE RCS WEBSITE.

[Jill Ryan]

Also, send it on to whom? They all know.  All agenices, the GAO.

[goose]

Well, if the state knows and will not do anything, maybe the papers would like a copy so that they can ask some questions, maybe even make a few people at least uncomfortable.

I tried to get a police report for the incident on January 16th through the LCSO but was unable to due to the fact that it was a Juvenile case. Was told the only way that someone could get one would be through a Juvenile Judge.

[Jill Ryan]

Respectfully and I do say this respectfully, this goes up to judges. Politics and money.  We have been everywhere.  Georgia is locked up tight.  We were told by the GAO agents to stay out of local and go to the Federal DA.  The GAO couldn't legally touch it(2006 lawsuit was going on duriong their investigation), they couyld only make recommendations to Federal agencies. The Dahlonega Nugget won't print it.  The Atlanta Constitution at the time didn't have enough.  The networks wouldn't touch it, cause some of them owned pieces of these  CCIs.  Power.  Just look at Romeny and Bain Capital ---CRC...ASPEN... HLA/RCS reports were changed, legal ones. There is enormous history here.  Read.  Read congressional record, our testimony during the Miller hearings.

Then they lied.  They had no problem putting up Sydney Vaughn and her cohort .... are they not juveniles?  The State has it's feet buried in this.  Their derrier is on the line.  They do not disclose RBWO, DJJ contracts, or DFCS.

[Jill Ryan]

Per Georgia Sunshine Laws(FOIA) the incident reports are Public Record, unless sealed re Juvenile or other sensitive info that shall affect ones case.  However, they can redact the juvenile names.

[browneyes]

I don't understand it either.  They printed in the paper about the two girls overthrowing the night tec but did not address the issue of the four felonies issued the night of the 16th for destruction of property.

Browneyes,

When I contacted the papers about the roit I was told that they knew about the money problems at the school, but had not heard about the roit. I was told informed that the paper had checked with LCSO and confirmed and that a story was currently in the works, due out 1/26 edition. I guess we will see about that.
