This just in…….Several eye witnesses have observed that Kids Helping Kids ( a Pathway Family Center) located at 6070 Branch-Hill Guinea Pike in Milford Ohio, has had no clients at the building for a total of four days now.
Apparently, a few days ago the President of the International Survivors Action Committee, William Earnshaw, reported this fact to Mr. Jim Lapczynski , a legal representative of ODADAS (Ohio Department Of Alcohol & Drug Addiction Services), and Mr. Lapczynski knew nothing about it. ODADAS is Pathway’s certifying body in Ohio.
William Earnshaw is also reporting now that a program parent has indicated that Kids Helping Kids( a Pathway Family center) in Milford, Ohio has been shut down. When a source called the program to verify that the program is in fact shut down, the program denied that they are shut down, and are now claiming that they are using the Milford, Ohio branch as an assessment program.
Dear Kids Helping Kids, a Pathway Family Center,
I just would like to personally know which option it really is: (a.) Shut the fuck down? or is it option (b.) Assessment facility? You people cannot have it both ways. An email was sent to the president and CEO of Pathway Family Centers, Teri Nissley, to request verification of an answer either way. As of yet the email has yet to be returned with an answer.
Also another thing, always remember this: one down …two to go! Protesters are not going away anytime soon.
love ye!

This just in …..
We have received official word that Kids Helping Kids, a Pathway Family Center is not in fact closed here in Milford, Ohio. The International Survivors Action Committee(ISAC) has officially released word that the Ohio facility is not closed and that the program is still using the facility in Ohio as an assessment center and marketing hub. This announcement comes to us after an official email released to ODADAS(Ohio Department of Drug Addiction and Alcohol Services) by program director Monica Mertens stating that
“Pathway Family Center no longer has a treatment center in Ohio. We only do assessments and
marketing at our site. Hopefully, new funding will be received and we will be able to open back
up.”

This still leaves many legal questions, though. Why is Pathway Family Centers allowed to move children from an Ohio facility to an Indiana facility without notifying any certifying body? Were the children that were forced to move from Ohio to Indiana taken out of school for this move? If so, this is not an officially accepted reason why the childrens’ education should be interrupted once again. These children if they were in school are now truant because of Pathway Family Centers, if this is the case. I mean to say that if any of these children were in school at the time of this move, they were not taken out for being sick with a chronic illness or for a family member having a chronic illness. These children were simply taken out of Milford school system soley for the convenience of Pathway Family Centers. How stable of an environment is this for kids? Parents, when divorced, have been known to sue the other parent for full custody of the children based soley on the fact of the other parent moving around too much and changing schools, thus establishing an unstable environment for the children. So, why is Pathway Family Centers above the law? Are they? Have they violated laws of their certifying body, ODADAS?
Is there a breach of contract possibly going on right now on Pathway Family Centers part of this? If you think about this for one second you will realize that the current parents from Ohio signed a contract to have their child in the Milford, Ohio facility, and not the Indianapolis facility. This recent move by Pathway is not only putting more unneeded stress on the children but also on Ohio families, as well as Indiana families.
The possible problems with this situation are numerous. We will be sure to keep you posted on the latest news as it comes in.
