As of 2014, this organization is not run with the best interests of the children in mind. I have supported this group for many years but won't donate any more until they change the executive director and the head of children's services both. They have 4 cottages, two really super nice, mansion quality and two sub-standard quality, one or both should be condemned and replaced ASAP. Instead, they have built new football fields, baseball, soccer and are building expensive lighting, stands, fences, and extra buildings. Oddly enough, they have instructed the children who live there not to play on the football fields! Apparently or I should say obviously, they are trying to look good to their donors but it is a case of style over substance. They are currently adding more landscaping to the front of one of the mansions and the boys who live there aren't allowed to play behind the house and have now been told not to play in the front yard. They cannot play on the football field so.... oh, and despite the fact that she had been living rent free in a 3-bedroom double garage duplex on campus, the director of children's services just got to move into a specially constructed 3000 sq. foot home on campus that defies logic! Her new home would probably sell for $300,000 in town and while half the children are living in moldy old run down homes form the 1960s, she gets luxury. Same lady treats the houseparents
Ike subordinates and she bullies adults and children alike! For example, if a child is making threats to harm others, she doesn't believe all houseparents should know. the houseparents disagree , of course but they have to defy their boss to keep others aware of such potential dangers. She loves to brag when inspectors give her a good grade, yet she does little to correct HouseParent complaints of items that need to be addressed for safety or health. Too many employees have company vehicles who don't need them! No one has an idea of what the executive director's son's job is and why he has a company vehicle --even those who work in the office with him! Money is spent unnecessarily on projects. Waste is rampant, support for houseparents is lacking, best practices are ignored, and if you speak up you are mistreated!
