You need to read better. The program at Tamayo was excellent, staff were happy, kids were happy, the turnover rate was nothing. Sen Whitmire, Sen Hinojosa, Mr. N, look at what Tamayo House was with that super and where it is now. The super that was there wants to return, was unjustly dismissed, for one Fed Ex package from over a year ago, not when they suspended her, but a year before. I live in the Valley, and that facility was known for it's community service work, the kids were polite, the staff were proud. Look at the statistics from her time there. Look at the accomplishments, this was a program that is being advocated by not only legislature, but also by Mr. Nedelkoff. <BR/><BR/>My question is what is being done about her boss. We, members of the community, have tried to deal with this woman and it is impossible. She is arrogant and rude. Mr. N, Will Harrel, talk to the staff, talk to the kids there now, talk to some of us from the community, we will tell you. Talk to the teachers there, they will tell you. As for the community, we hope that TYC does the right thing and brings her back to Tamayo House.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-56434166600428280282008-02-22T08:45:00.000-06:002008-02-22T08:45:00.000-06:00You people must work for TYC or Whitmire.

I know she pushed a couple of releases up or made sure youth were off grounds during some of the scheduled vists by investigators. I also know that Lashbrook gives her plenty of notice of impending visits, and a good investigator should know this.<BR/>Thats why I think Will Harrell is great! He saw right through her!<BR/><BR/>Call former youth and staff. They will tell you!

They may have chosen a bad path in life, they may be criminals, but THEY are human beings.Doesn't that earn them some respect? Doesn't that earn them medical attention when needed? <BR/><BR/>They all have parents, loved ones who care for them. How would YOU feel if somebody you loved was sick or injured and instead of proper medical treatment, they were handed some "home remedy" and then made fun of??? You know how you would feel.<BR/>The state of Texas has become a joke in this matter. The abuse, neglect and exploitation of the youth at McFadden Ranch has gone on for over a year at this point to my knowledge. When will it end? When will somebody step in and say, "You might be putting a show on, but we are not buying it" because as soon as the spotlight leaves Mcfadden Ranch, it will occur again....Because the staff that remains there only knows one way to do it, the WRONG way. They can only pretend for so long. This whole situation reminds me of the case of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.He was in the middle of torturing and attempting to murder a young man, when the young man escaped and ran to police to help him...instead, after believing Dahmer's song and dance, the young man was returned to Dahmer, and Dahmer murdered him. How many times do these McFadden kids need to wait to be rescued, before its too late for them. Cooke feels invincible. She feels she can't be touched. People who lied to investigators have been arrested (Parsee comes to mind) Why is he different from Lisa Cooke? She has proven time and time again, she is incompetent and has NO control over her staff. She allowed them to put bleach on an open wound for god's sake! Somebody do something soon. Please. Those children can't wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-88307372689427508592008-02-22T06:26:00.000-06:002008-02-22T06:26:00.000-06:0010:59 thanks for making an effort to bring this th...10:59 thanks for making an effort to bring this thread back to the original post.
