Man must avoid contact with Canon City school (CO, Royal Gorge Academy) - Jan 16, 2007

E-mail Print

A man accused of hurting students at a school he ran for troubled kids in Canon City, can no longer have contact with the school or any former or current students.

That was one of the conditions set in court on Tuesday for Randall Hinton. Through his lawyer, Hinton waived his advisement. However, he posted bond for $2,500. The Fremont County District Attorney hasn't formally charged Hinton yet, but Hinton faces charges of false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and assault. Hinton is accused of forcing a teenage girl to lie face down on the floor for six hours and smacking another student's face on the floor. Hinton denies taking inappropriate action. He's due back in court next week.

Capitol Hill Briefing - February 2009

Abuse of Youth in Residential Placements: A Call to Action
The growth of the troubled teen industry, including wilderness camps, therapeutic boarding schools, and boot camps, has given rise to allegations of inhumane treatment of youth, and exploitation of families who are desperately seeking help for their teenagers. This topic, previously the subject of two hearings (1, 2) in Congress and two special reports by the GAO (1, 2), was examined further on Feb. 19th 2009, at a meeting sponsored by the Alliance for the Safe, Therapeutic, and Appropriate Use of Residential Treatmenton (ASTART) and CAFETY on Capitol Hill.
