Good. If the Administrators are charged at some level then they'll do a better job of doing background checks, etc.

Almost sounds like the need to clean house completely at Envoy of Staunton.

Thanks for posting, NASGA.

What's wrong with our government?
They're supposed to be protecting the citizens.

How many cases does it take to end the abuse?

She didn't report the incident? For crying out loud, why not?
