SNIPS:

Over the past couple years protesters in North America have demonstrated their outrage for the unscrupulous and dangerous practices at Narconon - - the most recent in early November 2012 at Narconon of Georgia. During the protest, a passing Narconon staff vehicle showed their distaste by reaching their arm out the window and giving demonstrators the "bird-finger."

Attorney Jeff Harris, representing the family of Patrick Desmond who died in 2008 while enrolled at Narconon of Georgia, says the ruling for sanctions is so strong; lawyers often refer to it as the civil-case version of the death penalty.

Thanks to David Love for keeping on top of the news!

The license revocation is largely due to the persistent efforts of TP regular, Social Transparency. He has been hammering the Georgia DCH since April 2012 - sending complaints, evidence, open records requests, and generally hounding them to hold them accountable.

You can read the most recent part here: http://forum.reachingforthetippingpoint.net/index.php/topic,12083.0.html

The earlier part starts here: http://forum.reachingforthetippingpoint.net/index.php/topic,10057.0.html

The lawyers in the Patrick Desmond wrongful death case, Jeff Harris and team, have also played a significant role by obtaining internal documents produced in discovery. The local media, Pete Combs of WSB Radio, Jodie Fleischer of WSB TV, and Christian Boone of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, have also played a large role.

Of course, Narconon is going to fight it.

Narconon of Georgia, already embroiled in a lawsuit over the death of a patient who was court ordered into a residential drug treatment program that in fact never existed, now faces revocation of its license by Georgia health regulators.

Documents obtained from the State Department of Community Health by WSB Radio News under an Open Records Request show Narconon of Georgia has been found to be violating its license by running a residential drug rehab program while only permitted to operate as an outpatient facility.

Barbara Marschalk, attorney for Narconon of Georgia, said her client has requested a hearing, as allowed by state law.

“Narconon of Georgia strongly disagrees with the findings mentrioned in the department’s correspondence and corresponding survey report and plans to vigorously oppose any efforts to revoke its license,” Marschalk said Wednesday in a statement. “Narconon of Georgia plans to take all steps allowed under Georgia law to respond to and oppose any sanctions against it as they are unfounded and unwarranted and appear to be based solely on disputed documents produced in connection with an ongoing and very contentious civil lawsuit against it related to events that occurred more than four years ago.”

Um, I don't hear the Fat lady singing... yet... Mimsey

Um, I don't hear the Fat lady singing... yet... Mimsey

I agree - - no "Lady" singing,..., YET, but certainly a ***$$$Ching-Ching$$$*** fight for the COS.

IMO - - these are the exact words that NN TR said before the doors closed: "Narconon of Georgia plans to take all steps allowed under Georgia law to respond to and oppose any sanctions against it as they are unfounded and unwarranted....."

There are more than 10 Civil Cases against Narconons in North America right now - - ALL, very serious indeed.

Five in Canada and about Five or so in the USA.

Nice way to begin 2013 and TONS more work to do by numerous individuals.

I can appreciate your enthusiasm but, other than posting this story here, David Love has had nothing to do with this or anything related to the Desmond case and complaints to the state. David is just spreading the good news here today, which is much appreciated!

Thanks and gratitude should go to Reaching For The Tipping Point forum and in particular a member named SocialTransparency, who has been hounding the state for over 2 years to investigate.

A little background:
About 3 years ago, ethercat, SocialTransparency, and shortly later myself and other Tipping Point forum membersbegan researching and or collecting Inspection dox on Narconon of GA. Some go back to 2002. While we all have encouraged victims to file complaints to the Georgia state DCH, SocialTransparancy took on the task of filing complaints about why certain infractions weren't being sanctioned, or truly corrected, why were they allowed to operate when they have violated the law, providing proof, dox, etc. He provided the state Inspector General with the court documents proving Mary Rieser and Narconon of GA filed fraudulent papers with other state drug courts , lying that they were licensed as a residential facility when they weren't. This has gone on for several years his demanding answers. He has been ever persistent.

DCH investigation of Narconon of Georgia and its own internal investigation

The Department of Community Health (DCH) acknowledges your Open Records Act Request dated December 19, 2012. You are requesting the following:

1.) “All documents legally available to me in regard to The Division Of Healthcare Facilities Regulations survey review of Narconon of Georgia”;

2.) “All materials legally available to me in regard to Commissioner Cook in relation to said investigation of Narconon of Georgia”; and

3.) “All materials available concerning The Office of Inspector General’s investigation of the Division of Healthcare Facilities Healthcare Regulation."..... ( see post for details)


(Well worth reading dox in this post)

RFTTP forum is dedicated to exposing all Narconon facilities and wrongs committed. Members like ethercat, SocialTransparency, mefree, David Love, Colin Henderson and more recently CoolHand, BMF, quite an few others have been diligently working to expose Narconon programs across the USA. Individually we tend to concentrate specific facilities, while appreciating the efforts of others working to expose other ones. The death of Patrick Desmond was the impetus for the starting of RFTTP. Many have contributed to exposing what happened to Patrick and what is going on in that terrible place bit SocialTransparency is the guy who has never given up in making the state accountable for letting these crooks get through the loopholes. Credit should be given where credit it due. Thanks

Mary, the Narconon work has been underway since 2008, right? That's when David and some others started, unless my memory is failing.

Indeed, "The Tipping Point" has been at this - researching and posting Dox for years and thus deserve much credit
in exposing Narconon in the USA. BRAVO for the excellent HARD, relentless work

Although I have been in contact with someone concerning the Desmond Case and provided countless documents,
I cannot further comment.

Also, a meeting with the FBI in the USA and another entity, hopefully will produce something "eventually", but
not holding my breath.

I think the *KEY* word in this Thread, is *MAY* Revoke Licence - - battle still ahead.

For this THREAD, I'm just a messenger who receives notifications quite fast from the USA and post ASAP

That said, I wish ALL a VERY "HAPPY NEW YEAR" and all the best in 2013.

Yes, David, you have been behind the scenes on that this year. Sorry I forgot about that. And you promote information as it comes out. A huge help. You are a team member at RFTTP! Your help is much appreciated.
