Why Is Creative Frontiers School Still Closed?

We know that when Robert Adams made is his court appearances on September 9th and October 7th, he made no plea with regard to a guilty or not guilty status.  Why is that?  Is it legal strategy, as implied by some of the supporters? Is it the need to see the prosecutor's discovery and evidence as Robert Adams' lawyer, Linda Parisi, said?

I suppose those are some possibilities but they don't make a lot of sense to this layperson.  I look at the situation as if it were one I were in.  My first appearance, after a "heart attack" may have left me too overwhelmed to say much but a month later?  I would have been shouting not guilty.  What evidence is needed for me to make a plea of not guilty and indicate to the court that I want my day in court. From a logical standpoint, what else would I say if I truly were confident "nothing inappropriate has happened" as Robert Adams said in the press conference July 20th?

From the Sacramento Bee article
"There is tremendous support for Mr. Adams from the school and from the community," his attorney, Linda Parisi, said outside the Sacramento County jail, where the court hearing was held. "I think that clearly is a reflection of what an important part of the community the school was."
These court appearances are not about the importance of the Creative Frontiers School to the community.  The school has not remained closed due to these allegations.  The school was closed in part due to the allegations of sexual abuse but not entirely, as we have shown previously on our site. The only portion of the school closed on July 18th due to the allegations was the preschool. Incidentally, the preschool portion of the school has never been mentioned in the re-opening. The words "preschool" were even painted over on the sign outside the building.  The elementary portion was closed due to building violations, license issues and an unwillingness on the part Robert Adams to comply with regulations.  These regulations weren't there arbitrarily, they were in place to protect the children and employees on the Creative Frontiers School campus daily.  Zsolt Benedek had the opportunity to reopen Creative Frontiers School through his "purchase" of the entity but also failed to comply with the legal regulations surrounding the application for a business license.

The City of Citrus Heights saw through the games being played by Benedek and Adams.  DSS knew and followed through on insuring the safety of the CFS children.  Its interesting that the people closest to the situation are unable to truly see the severity of what was happening at CFS.  Creative Frontiers School remains closed not due to the allegations against Robert Adams as we are led to believe.  In fact, according to the city of Citrus Heights, they are in ongoing negotiations with Creative Frontiers, Inc regarding their business license.

They can continue to play the blame game and pretend the school remains closed in part of some master conspiracy against Robert Adams, or they can own up to the reality that the school remains closed for one reason only.  It has no business license.  The City of Citrus Heights has clearly explained to Mr. Benedek what the issues are with his license application and has also indicated that they are in ongoing negotiations with Mr. Adams to reinstate his license.  There is no master conspiracy, just rules and regulations and processes that everyone is required to follow.

  1. Didn't someone suggest the Adam's might be playing a shell game quite some time ago? I guess they pegged it right!

  2. If by shell, you mean hiding in one like a hermit crab, I'm going to say "Yes."
