G-LtE™: Failing Systems at All Levels

How can a student at Gilmer County High School can punch a kid and send him to hospital via Ambulance Squad, and come out of it with only a 4 day suspension?

Why, after having violated a probation that he is already on, the Prosecuting Attorney, DHHR (who has custody of him at this time) and his probation officer have done nothing but cuddle the kid?

This student (B*) needs help and Gerry Hough, Shelly DeMarino, Tara Kennedy, and DHHR constantly go to court and lie to protect this child so as to further their agenda against his father.

The student that he assaulted at Gilmer County High School not only was transported to the hospital (A* L*), once he got there, he had to have surgery following this incident.

In the past two weeks (B*) has been in trouble at school every day.

Last week he got in trouble for having tobacco at school, a spit bottle in the classroom, making a phone call from his cell phone during class, and cursing out loud during class.

He topped his week off by assaulting (A* L*) and received only 4 days suspension and upon his return to school at the end of last week, he was in trouble again for asking the teacher to define the word “c*nt” for him.

He has been sent away twice over the last few years.  Once to the Children’s Home in Elkins and most recently to Fox Run, a residential treatment facility in St. Clairesville, OH for actions much like these.

Upon his return from Fox Run, it was ordered that he see a counselor at least once a week and was put on probation with the stipulations that he stay out of trouble, attend school regularly with no absences, and maintain a 2.0 GPA.

None of which he has come close to doing, but he just got a little slap on his hand from Nasia Butcher and Jay Chambers at Gilmer County High School.

Also, every time his case goes to court for review, Gerry Hough, Tara Kennedy, DHHR and Shelly DeMarino lie about his progress.

Actually, they have spent the entire last year villianizing his father as the cause for the boy’s outburst and behavior.

His father sees him 4 hours every week.  So to admit that his father was right and that the boy needed help would mean that they would have to admit they were wrong as well as their wrong doings in court and their attacks against his father.

The Gilmer County High School officials and the Court System are failing him at all levels.

The Gilmer County High School, who has taken this mirage of a stance against bullying, and wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on the same anti-bullying program over and over, has done nothing to protect him or the other students in the school.

Why is it that we see GERRY HOUGH at the top of the BAD LIST ALWAYS - Although I would prefer all the names used to get the full story, I can understand the concept of protecting the innocent, however the BAD LIST of BAD PEOPLE from Gilmer County in this story are ... Can I have the envelope please?

1. Gerald B Hough
2. Tara Kennedy
3. Shelly Morris DeMarino
4. Nasia Butcher
5. Jay Chambers

Recently an official complaint was made against TARA KENNEDY for wrongdoing and not one darn thing has been done about her bad behavior. It is important that the people that get CAUGHT covering for these people also be held accountable.

Can we have the protecting people list please?

The line between being a ‘protector’ or being an ‘enabler’ is pretty fine.
All of the names mentioned are one or the other.
The ‘thinking’ of being a protector very often is just more enabling which just exacerbates the problems.
When this situation really turns violent, who will be blamed?
The “enablement gang” will simply say we were trying to help him, and walk off with no responsibility attached to themselves.
That said, the enablers maybe will keep sticking their necks out, far enough and often enough, that some one will take a swing at them.
Sooo…. name of the parents or grandparents were known, would that explain the ‘protectors’ actions?
        Sooo…..  who is ‘really’ being protected?  Child?  Parents?  Grandparents?

You sound like a teacher.  Well sister, what makes you so special? If one ornery kid in your class is all you have to worry about, then I can bet there are some teachers at the high school that would trade places with you in a New York minute.  Having said that, the student you are talking about is one of many.  Getting a bad apple removed from your classroom is impossible, unless of course you are one of the chosen few who get what they want.  Yes, all some teachers have to do is whine a little and a new teacher is hired just for that student or the kid is dumped in the foods class or greenhouse to create havoc where no one cares.  A cell phone violation gets a kid in more trouble than use of tobacco, threats against school employees or other students, or possession of dangerous objects.  Your best bet is to plant a cell phone on the kid and then write him up.

Did you notice how HOPE takes the entire matter off topic and far away from the TEXT of the Letter to the Editor, and we should take NOTE.

For that is HOW THEY DO IT in Gilmer County.

The main SUBJECT is favoritism toward SPECIAL FOLK but HOPE goes far away from the main point of the ELITE gets protected with special treatment for committing CRIMES!

The point was also made that the people that protect the elite, also have people that protect them, and those people should also be held accountable too.

I heard Doug Cottrill had a MAJOR in the SP get him off all the drugs with COCAINE he got caught with. If true, than immediate action needs to be taken against the major, and Cottrill, get it HOPE? 

Or are you hopeless?

Knowing a little something about this situation I can honestly tell you that to my knowledge the child attacked in this situation was not related to “the elite” and technically the child who pursued the attack is not of “the elite”.  However, Mr. Hough seems to have a score to settle with relatives of the attacker so he continues to prosecute the attackers father who keeps yelling for someone to get his boy some help before something serious goes wrong, and has made several attempts to present Mr. Hough and Judge Jack Alsop with the truth.  Justice is blind folks because she chooses to be and these are the people we elect!  Of course I tend to worry and wonder at times if good people are forced to be corrupt because the power those most corrupt have themselves.

To: Will Come Out
You may be right because the attacker’s grandmother is from a well known Gilmer Co. Family who tend to shoot each other and burn down houses.  So maybe those involved are afraid to do the right thing out of fear for the well being of themselves and their families.  I mean this child’s mother did attempt to poison her ex-husband and even though she admitted in and out of court to a DHHR worker that she did this action and intended to take the other boys and run, the legal system informed the father they could not bring charges against her because he did not have any of the contaminated food as evidence.  Her admission of guilt wasn’t enough I guess.

The CEFP committee, chaired by Nasia Butcher, recommended four properties as candidates for the new elementary school. One of the sites is the Butcher’s property on old auction barn land. Why can’t the County’s land at the rec. center and the College’s land be considered too? What an act of magnanimity it would be if the College donated land for the school to demonstrate that it is committed to partnering with the County to build a show piece school without money having to be spent for land. Getting back to Nasia Butcher, explain why is was not a gross breach of ethics if not inept personal judgement on her part when a recommendation was made to include her family’s property on the list. Does anyone believe that the Butchers would donate that land for free? What about Arbuckle land on the list? Do the Butchers have any financial interests there so they would profit personally if the school were to be built on it?

The situation at Gilmer County High School is pathetic. A boy has been punched hard enough to require surgery and the parents of this boy have the right to sue the “pants” off the State BOE, County BOE and the ones who have been cuddling him in the courts”. Bullying, students harming themselves, forced withdrawal from school because of harassment from others, fear, a “do nothing cover it up” Principal and Vice Principal, State Superintendent, County Superintendent and PA and others who will not do anything. What has to happen in this County to open eyes to this school system horror? A student bringing a weapon to school and harming other students, a student suicide or another severe injury, where is it going to end? This has to stop before something really tragic happens. Shame on all of you who could do something but choose not to. This will in some way, shape or form come home to you all to answer to.

“One of the sites is the Butcher’s property on old auction barn land.“

We may recall when a PUBLISHED “Threatening letter from jail mentioned the intentional burning down of the Auction Barn and that it was another THUG who did it”

It appears that selling this property for a VERY SIZABLE SUM was always in the plans for the Butchers and they were willing to BREAK THE LAW to do it, but more importantly the law enabled the entire crime to take place ...not that says a lot!

Gross breach of ethics?  NO! It is a crime, just like taking over 10,000 a day in cash from the AJ Woofter estate.

I vote for taking matters in OUR OWN HANDS, for what else can you do with a CROOKED SHERIFF like METZ who is in on all the CRIME!

In Gilmer County if you want justice go to a #####, if you want screwed go to the law.

“ ...at the end of last week, he was in trouble again for asking the teacher to define the word “c*nt” for him.“

I can fill in for the teacher in this particular instance and answer the boys question in TWO WORDS…

TARA KENNEDY

Further, it is easy to see how Tara Kennedy failed in this situation described in the letter to the editor, for she I understand was the person in charge of the probation, but we all know Tara “Makes up her own rules,“ as do many from Gilmer County. Somehow they have some kind of false feeling of entitlement and feel they are truly above the law just like the Butchers!

Oh, wait a minute, Brian Kennedy is the nephew to Timothy B Butcher, oh ... I get it now!
