St. Maarten Private Eye

The home is not functioning, at least not in the way that it used to.

The staff who were suspended with Loraine were asked to come back to work. They refused stating that an atmosphere has been created making working for this board impossible. They feel that having their names passed into the media, that by being rudely suspended in the way that they were (for no reason) and the general attitude of the board have made working there uncomfortable.

Loraine has apparently been fired, again no real solid reasons have been given to her. The argument of the board seems to be about the non paymeny of some taxes over the last 5 years or so. This is something Government has been well aware of as well as past and present boardmembers, it was not hidden. There is no record or evidence of mishandling of funds or fraud as far as I know.

Meanwhile, Safe Haven has some staff though it is not clear who they are. The security guard has handled at least one admittance himself and there is also a juvenile staying there. Safe Haven does not (as a rule) accept minors unless accompanied by the mother. Rumors also speak of late night visitors and items being removed from the property.

What Safe Haven needs is an investigation alright, into the current board and their handling of the home.
