Television Media Alerted

In light of the active investigation being conducted by the Department of Institutional Abuse at Rainbow Of Hope, Philadelphia and local news agencies have been alerted. It is our goal to inform the public about the unsafe environment at Rainbow Of Hope in which its children-residents must live. It is also our goal to reveal the true nature of Rainbow Of Hope's hostile work environment and the plight of its former employees who strove to make a positive difference and were harassed by management into quitting or fired without appropriate cause. Names of the offenders of policy and those who have neglected their job duties, and in turn the children-residents, are mentioned openly here because documentation exists to support these claims. We invite any offender to add a comment here to deny or explain away their actions.

It is our sincere hope that this public campaign will enlighten people about the truth. We look forward to updating this blog with news from our next group meeting with an attorney on May 23. In the meantime we will update the blog with items of interest regarding Rainbow Of Hope and its lackluster professional performance.

Rainbow Of Hope manager Kevin Cook has been witnessed escalating the children-residents with pointed sarcasm and insults. Children-residents receive wages for performing chores at the group home facility. Kevin Cook has withheld the wages of certain children as punishment for certain behaviors. This means certain children-residents are not able to participate in shopping outings that they earn from showing positive behavior. Kevin Cook has also been witnessed shouting at a female child-resident who was escalated. Instead of therapeutically de-escalating this child, Cook was witnessed pointedly saying, "What's the matter with you, woman?! Huh, woman? What are you going to do, woman?!" When this instance is linked with Kevin Cook's remarks of a disparaging and sexually harassing nature to a female employee, we find an issue that needs to be professionally and appropriately addressed.

The children-residents tend to act out when they don't feel safe. Based on the number of New Jersey State Police Troopers and ambulances dispatched to Rainbow Of Hope over the past 10 months, it seems apparent something is gravely amiss with the operation of Rainbow Of Hope. Yet, an inside source informed us that Kevin Cook has recently coached his staff on how to write and prepare incident reports.

The children-residents deserve professional care. We hope this campaign will alert the proper authorities to making sure that happens at Rainbow Of Hope.

ANOTHER POSITIVE NOTE FOR OUR CAMPAIGN!!!

We're happy to report that another parent of a former child-resident of Rainbow Of Hope has joined our campaign! Welcome aboard!
