May 23rd Meeting

Today, concerned parents, former residents of Rainbow Of Hope and former staff members met at a law firm in Northfield, New Jersey. The outcome of the meeting was a unanimous decision to pursue civil charges against Rainbow Of Hope and to pursue potential criminal charges against its management and staff. Documented violations of the State Requirements for Child Care Facilities lend credence to the civil suit.

HIPAA violations committed by staff infringe on Federal statutes. Especially the May 18 post that reads:

"KIRA KIRA KIRA 1st i didnt know what was going on when u got signed out, i was in shock, but second u should of stayed didnt you try to kill yourself recentally,, not sure but i know for a fact your father triedto admit you to Bridgeton,,so what does that go to show you, your sick and you need help.... WHats up with you laying in the tub with RICE thats weird, HUH"

Investigations are being conducted into the theory that two separate people have posted blog entries under the "Worm2908" user name. It's suspected that one of these people have publicly entered into conversations about Bridgeton Hospital staff and other secure matters. It's also known that this particular person in question has spoken about Rainbow Of Hope children-residents and disclosed the health problems of these children-residents to patients and staff at Bridgeton Hospital. We have testimony to support this.

Investigators will also pursue other matters of a potential criminal nature. These infractions will be revealed at a later date.

Furthermore, there's a matter of Misallocation of Funds found in the fact that a former child-resident has not received wages due from Rainbow Of Hope. The same infraction exists within a scene wherein two staff members were scheduled to attent a paid in-service. However, in their stead, a manager and his spouse attended the training. Cape Counseling Services may have worked some magical accounting but this doesn't negate that the manager and spouse attended this event under the names of the original two staff members scheduled to attend.

In addition to these problems we have a serious breach of personal privacy issues in that the personal and private telephone numbers of Rainbow Of Hope staff members were conspicuously displayed in an area that the children-residents had access to.

Another parent has admitted to hearing counselor Wayne Wilson angrily state to a child-resident that he would "Tie him up and bust him in his face."

A final problem added to the slew of other infractions mentioned throughout this blog is the case of a particular child-resident who was accused of stealing by Rainbow Of Hope staff. This child-resident was not only accused, but treated unjustly and received elements of undue stress at the hands of staff. It was later confirmed that the items in this child's possession were not stolen at all, but were purchased for the child by the child's parent. An act of theft can only occur if the children-residents are not being supervised. To accuse this child at all means staff was not providing proper supervision.

And let us address a few random thoughts... No, this blog isn't an attempt to turn parents and kids against Rainbow Of Hope staff and management. No, this isn't the work of disgruntled employees or dissatisfied parents. This is the work of a collective voice seeking to call attention to neglect and abuse at Rainbow Of Hope. This is a combined effort to clean that place up.
