Just to set the record straight:
Mr Ferrainola's children are the reasons he was forced out.
EVERY one of them.
They treated the school as their personal check books.
They were all on the payroll, didn't have to show up or do any actual work.
Drugs & depraved sex pretty much took up all their free time.
Was this enough? No, they also messed with people for sport. Piss one of them off & you risked losing your job & home.
The youngest kid, Tresa is the worst. She is the biggest reason the Ferrainola's were told to hit the pike.
Any good deeds the old man did were wiped out by the crap that he allowed in the last 15 years of his tenure.
He didn't have dementia/alzheimer's for the last 15 years, either....,

My friends grandson was sent to Glenmils Monday, 11/9/09. We were toldthat his stepmother had him taken there becuase she was having problems. I am asking is that possible? Can a parent or guardian have their kid sent to GM or do you have the courts get involved and do you need cuase like the kid broke the law.

LOL. Well, no sense beating around the bush. Veritas tells it like it is. Not much more to say. Guess it's time to close out the blog. Go on with your life Rosie. It's time.It really is. You had a good life, now focus on caring for your Dad.

There are residents who golf and would never go to the glenn mills school golf course. We have a silent boycott going on. It is even sadder the way they have treated some of their long term workers that came into our community and volunteered their time for our community.
Silent boycott? What would the point of that be? If it is silent, who's gonna know? Some of their long term workers? Geez, wonder who THIS is? The long term workers I know being "persecuted" have it fully coming to them. One of them has been a right asshole for years and the other has been a miserable rude sow for just as long. You can only be nasty, rude & ignorant to your employers for so long before you are kicked to the curb. Volunteered in the community? Don't make me laugh, you "volunteered" so you could get things done for the school with the local govt. Just because you have an internet connection doesn't mean you should use it....,

Is the judge scandal in Lucerne County in any way related to the questionable practices at Glen Mills? I know Lucerne sends kids to Glen Mills. We had to provide documentation to the county for the school.

You're kidding, right?
Yes, he had a stroke, the surgery, & his son did die.
But, much was kept from him?, more like didn't wanna know.
Mr Ferrainola wasn't dishonorably let go. He was fired because the board had had enough of the shenanigans his remaining children were engaged in on a DAILY basis. He would have been allowed to leave honorably, but up until the very hour the board met, he was working the phones trying to get a power base going.
You kids knew it, too. You were part of the phone push, Mr Ferrainola even blew smoke up your asses telling you that night he had enough board members on his side for an upset. The only thing he didn't count on was that the board members that he had spoken to had lied to him.
Actually, that's a delicious irony, the ultimate liar & his spawn were led down the primrose path...., by being lied to themselves. It was wonderful.
Some other poster on this site stated that Rose & her siblings were despised, that poster was sooo correct. People may have sucked up to you & the other leaches, but when the shit hit the siblings, there was much satisfaction at the Mills.
The only shameful thing that came of all of this crapola, Rose, was that you all knew your Dad wasn't well & NEVER stopped the shit You/Rita/Tresa pulled on a daily basis. As long as he was in power, you all had the easy life. Quit yer bitchin', get a job (good luck with that one), and make sure Tresa NEVER leaves Texas......,
Stop lying to everyone & yourself. You blew it, you absolutely blew it, and THAT is what really gets yer goat.
If your Dad had the beginnings of dementia (I believe he did), why did you and the rest of your siblings allow Tresa to continue to manipulate him? Simple, you all knew that making any waves as far as your Dad was concerned would have jeopardized your life on easy street. Again, what a delicious irony, you're out on your asses, anyway.......,

Mr. Ferrainola is amazing...what he did over all the years should be honored. He should not be judged for loving his children unconditionally. Many of staff still there have young kids who have made mistakes, and will keep making mistakes...thats life!! GMS is a school of second chances, isn't it?? Arn't those boys there to get a second chance at things? Stop bad mouthing my family, you got what you want, we are gone. As for saying Tresa better never come back, is that a threat?? What would you do if you saw her?? NOTHING!! My familys blood sweat and tears are the roots of GMS, the good, the bad, all of it. Who are you to judge?? Why say such ugly things? Does it make you feel better?? Better about you own life? Are you sad? GI put my Mommmom in an early grave, she deserved better...She Loved that school, My Poppop loved that school. Do you have kids? If you were an executive and had the power to make your kids life easier, wouldn't you do it? All of this is BS...focus on those students, and try to keep up with the norms that my Pop established so we can keep helping these young boys for years to come!!

If a person in your business, as you describe, volunteered to go into the community to get things done for the Glenn Mill school and, what it sounds like, placate the "local government" and then the employers "kick you to the curb," then he/she has the "right" to be an "asshole" as you put it. By the way, why does a school for delinquents have a golf course anyway??

after my fater's stroke in 2001, GI wanted it..so he conviced several boardmembers to back it up..( these are the same board members who use the schools amenities for free now..the same ones who kicked out the Ferrainola family) They misused their power on my father while he was weak...and continue to misuse the school now that he is gone...It's not about helping young men change their lifes anymore ..it's about what they can get or take now that the Ferrainola family is out of the way...Just read the blogs in here written by the students,,,you can see they are not treated the way the Ferrainola family once treated them..and yes..unfortunatly my father was still in power as his dementia came on...and things were not as they should have been..but what did anyone do about it???( They had secret meetings up at the golf course behind locked doors...meerting of how they would throw him out...the man who gave them everything )Instead of honoring the man who built the school...they destroyed everything he ever put into it..and then attacked his family...what shallow, shameful people..

Rita, you can't rewrite history. "All of that is interesting, but what has made Glen Mills unique was the decision to build and operate a golf course on its grounds. In 2000, the Golf Course at Glen Mills opened for play and the accolades have been rolling in ever since" PA Golf.Com
The Golf Course opened in 2000. In previous post Rose gives your Dad credit for the Golf Course. You guys are already getting your stories confused.

Rita, The drugs & booze have taken a toll on your perspective & memories.
Again, let me be clear. Your Dad started the school on to it's rightful path to being the premiere school for juvenile justice.
You kids ruined any good deeds he did by your depraved & degrading behaviours. You(Rita) used school vehicles for drug runs, for pity's sake! You were arrested & convicted of drug offenses. Anyone who knows you guys knows these things. If they see this blog, they are incredulous that you believe the bullshit you & Rose are writing here. Then they are laughing their asses off at just how delusional you are.
As far as the present administration using this place for their own good or satisfaction, well, they would have learned from the masters of that. That would be you & the rest of the Ferrainola clan. See my first post, it is listed in all it's simple clarity. All of you kids squandered enormous opportunities. Educational? None of you has any degree worth mentioning. Hell, Tresa barely has a GED, I am pretty sure you are close to illiterate. Good deeds? Don't make me laugh, not one of you has managed to raise or produce a grandkid that hasn't had a run in with the law or had a couple kids outa wedlock. You have all had the same opportunities the staff has had. Some of us have actually availed ourselves & our children of those opportunities. You blew it & now you are bitter, pissed off & flustered as to how to function in a real world that doesn't have to do what you want,'cause your Daddy can't fire them. The real world just blows for you guys, doesn't it?

Sweetheart, I really do feel bad for you grandkids. Your parents completely screwed you up & over.
This isn't about enjoyment, it is about making sure that people who read this know that your Parent & aunts are full of shit. What they are writing here? It is called lying, I understand you would have a hard time with that concept, being that you and your cousins were raised like wolves, but the rest of the world frowns on lying.
Your parent/aunts could not have cared less about the students, Sweetie, they cared only about themselves. That is probably why you will have to pay for your own college, now. Unlike my own and other employees children, we decided to actually show up for work, stay all day, do our jobs. As a result we will reap the benefits of working for the Glen Mills Schools.
Who writes phrases such as "delicious irony"? People with educations, honey. People who read books, go to school, stay away from booze & drugs. In your case, people that aren't your family, the rest of the world.
Ugly person? Not in the least bit. The only ugly people you know are the ones that filled your head with shit & a misplaced sense of entitlement, again, that would be your family. They have done you & this world a diservice by raising you kids to expect so much & not be able to provide it.
I understand your being angry at me. That's okay, I just feel sorry for you kids.

LOL!!! Hahaha!! As for kids out of wed-lock, and uneducated kids, please get YOUR facts straight!! Nicole(myself) is happily maried with 3 beautiful kids, My cousin Damian has a degree in criminal justice, my cousin Justin has a degree in business, My cousin Robert is an honor student at Widner, My cousin Jason is in Law school, I could go on...but whats the point. My family has never deprived us of anything. We have had our good times and bad time, as does any family...but I can honestly say I respect each and every person, and love every one of them...and we will stand together always!! Why do you come out of hiding?? Tell us your real name!! It's so very easy to hide behind a computer screen...who are you?? Are you man enough to reveal yourself? Also why do you feel it so necessary to prove the school and the people who work there by putting us down!! If it is a great school, and the people who are still there are doing such a great job, wouldn't the school just speak for itself?

Is this the same Nicole that had to leave the state to live with her father because Mom's new boyfriend/hubby didn't want you around? Is this the same Nicole that lived in a garage apt at her Grandparent's place when she returned and did lots of drugs and drinking with your Aunt Tresa? That is of course until Aunt Tresa & you had an argument and Aunt Tresa had you tossed by a completely willing GrandPop? Married, yes, at what, 17? I am sure it was destined...., Since the other grandkids aren't on this blog (that I know of) I won't dish the FACTS on them.
Nicole, the point here is not airing your dirty laundry or your life's mis-steps, it is the fact that your Mom & aunt are telling out right lies. They have filled all of you kids head's with crap, too. Your family hasn't deprived you of anything? That's a good thing? That is completely the reason you are all as screwed up as you are! What they have given you is a skewed outlook of life, the world & how to operate in it without drugs, booze, or unlimited amounts of cash. If you are respecting people that essentially have never respected you (and had a duty to as your parent), that's just nuts. Of course you all stand together. That's what brought your Grandpop down. Your aunt, uncle(s) & own Mom never stood up & stopped your destructive, vindictive, and downright evil aunt Tresa. Had someone stopped her shit, you would still be hanging around here trying to score heroin....,
As for revealing myself? I could be ANYONE at the Mills that had a modicum of knowledge of you or any member of the Ferrainola clan.
As for the weak attempt to "draw" us out here at the school? The school does speak for itself, it is a great institution. No one disputes that your Grandpop was/is very much responsible for it's rise to it's standing as a premiere institution. That it is also a fact that his downfall was his own & your parent/aunts/uncle(s) doing is all the much sadder. Lash out at us on this blog all you care to, Nicole. When your Mom & aunt stop writing lies and bullshit, we'll go back to playing Solitaire on-line.....,

Feel free to google any of the big words in this paragraph you don't understand....,

Let set the record straight, I decided to move away for one simple reason, I did not like my step dad...I Love my father!! It was hard for me to live in a house with another man that was not my Dad, I have a great respect for my father. As for the situation with Tresa and I...you have it all wrong!!! I was not drugging & drinking with her, I was doing just the opposite. Her & I had a altercation, she did as she always does and manipulated a very sick man. You keep saying why didn't anyone stand up to her?? Well I did, and it got me no where at all!! I do not agree with the things she has done, I saw it first hand...I mean look she did it to me!!! What I will not tolerate is you putting down my family as a whole!!! Rose, my Mom, Joe, and Jim are good people!!! You all could have stood up to her to but didn't!! You must not have been to close to our family because you really have no clue at all!!!!
