Outline of Violations
In the case of Detective Michael Gehl, Lake County Sheriff’s Office:
41-3-205. Confidentiality -- disclosure exceptions. Section (1)

“The case records of the department and its local affiliate, the local office of public assistance, the
county attorney, and the court concerning actions taken under this chapter and all records
concerning reports of child abuse and neglect must be kept confidential except as provided by this
section. Except as provided in subsections (7) and (8), a person who purposely or knowingly
permits or encourages the unauthorized dissemination of the contents of case records is guilty of a
misdemeanor.”
Detective Michael Gehl, as part of a local office of public assistance, conducting an investigation
concerning reports of child abuse and neglect, was bound by Montana state law to keep all records of that
investigation confidential.
Consideration should be made of the following sections to this law:
41-3-205. Confidentiality – disclosure exceptions. Section (3), (3)(b), (3)(d), and (3)(h):
(3) Records, including case notes, correspondence, evaluations, videotapes, and interviews, unless
otherwise protected by this section or unless disclosure of the records is determined to be
detrimental to the child or harmful to another person who is a subject of information contained in
the records, may be disclosed to the following persons or entities in this state and any other state
or country:
(b) a licensed youth care facility or a licensed child-placing agency that is providing services to
the family or child who is the subject of a report in the records or to a person authorized by the
department to receive relevant information for the purpose of determining the best interests of a
child with respect to an adoptive placement
(d) a parent, guardian, or person designated by a parent or guardian of the child who is the subject
of a report in the records or other person responsible for the child's welfare, without disclosure of
the identity of any person who reported or provided information on the alleged child abuse or
neglect incident contained in the records;
(h) a person about whom a report has been made and that person's attorney, with respect to the
relevant records pertaining to that person only and without disclosing the identity of the reporter
or any other person whose safety may be endangered.
This law clearly states that all records, including the results, of an investigation into child abuse or neglect
must be kept confidential. The applicable assumptive exceptions that could possibly permit disclosure of
this information to Bob Larsson and Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch are:
(a) That they are a youth care facility,
(b) That they are designated by a parent or guardian of the child who is subject of a
report,
(c) That they are responsible for the child’s welfare, or that they are a person about
whom a report has been made.
I will address these items individually below:

1) 41-3-205 specifically identifies licensed youth care facilities or licensed child-placing agencies as
authorized recipients of case records. Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch, however, does not
4
currently, and never has held any licensing with the State of Montana. Therefore, the disclosure
rights in 41-3-205 do not apply to this institution and do not justify Detective Michael Gehl’s
voluntary disclosure of these records to Bob Larsson.
2) While Robert Larsson, through his position as Director of Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch,
may be a “person designated by a parent or guardian of the child who is the subject of a report”
an a “person responsible for the child’s welfare”, Section (d) of 41-3-205 clearly forbids the
“disclosure of the identity of any person who reported or provided information on the alleged
child abuse or neglect incident”. Since the report disclosed to Bob Larsson by Detective Michael
Gehl clearly identified Vicky Turner and David Krug as reporters, , the disclosure rights in 41-3-
205 do not justify Detective Michael Gehl’s voluntary disclosure of these records to Bob Larsson.
3) While Robert Larsson, through his position as Director of Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch,
may be “a person about whom a report has been made”, Section (h) of 41-3-205 clearly identifies
the information that can be disclosed as “the relevant records pertaining to that person only” and
further forbids “disclosing the identity of the reporter”. Since the report disclosed to Bob Larsson
by Detective Michael Gehl clearly identified Vicky Turner and David Krug as reporters, the
disclosure rights in 41-3-205 do not justify Detective Michael Gehl’s voluntary disclosure of
these records to Bob Larsson.
4) 41-3-205 clearly states that all records, including the results, of an investigation into child abuse or
neglect must be kept confidential, specifically excluding members of the general public as
authorized recipients. According to the voicemail from Bernie Lovell to Jeanne Windham,
Detective Michael Gehl violated this state mandate by disclosing both details of his identification
in addition to the identity, and personal information of a reporter.
4) 41-3-205 clearly states that all records, including the results, of an investigation into child abuse or
neglect must be kept confidential, specifically excluding members of the general public as
authorized recipients. According to the news report by Allyson Weller of KPAX - Missoula,
Detective Michael Gehl violated this state mandate by disclosing both details of his identification
in addition to the identity, and personal information of a reporter.
In the case of Robert Larsson – Director of Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch:

misdemeanor.”
Robert Larsson, the recipient of the illegally disclosed report concerning reports of child abuse and
neglect, was bound by Montana state law to keep all records of that investigation confidential.
41-3-205. Confidentiality – disclosure exceptions. Section (3) and (7):

5
or country:
(7) A person who is authorized to receive records under this section shall maintain the
confidentiality of the records and may not disclose information in the records to anyone other
than the persons described in subsection (3)(a). However, this subsection may not be construed to
compel a family member to keep the proceedings confidential.
this information by Bob Larsson to churches and supporters of Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch
throughout the United States, and to the general public through release of the investigation report to
Allyson Weller of KPAX are:
(a) That Bob Larsson was a legal, authorized recipient of the disclosed report,

voluntary disclosure of these records to Bob Larsson.
2) Robert Larsson, due to the illegal disclosure of the investigation report, whether through
ignorance or intent, did not refuse acceptance and possession of the report.
3) Robert Larsson, under assumptive authorized receipt of the report violated 41-3-205, Section (7)
by failing to maintain the confidentiality of the records and by disclosing information in the
records to individuals, groups and institutions other than those described in 41-3-205, Section
(3)(a). This violation occurred on multiple occasions, using multiple formats (i.e. email, print
distribution).
In the case of Maxine Kent – Personnel Manager at Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch:

misdemeanor.”
Maxine Kent, the recipient of the illegally disclosed report concerning reports of child abuse and
neglect, was bound by Montana state law to keep all records of that investigation confidential.

41-3-205. Confidentiality – disclosure exceptions. Section (3) and (7):
or country:
(7) A person who is authorized to receive records under this section shall maintain the
confidentiality of the records and may not disclose information in the records to anyone other
than the persons described in subsection (3)(a). However, this subsection may not be construed to
compel a family member to keep the proceedings confidential.
this information by Bob Larsson to churches and supporters of Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch
throughout the United States are:
(a) That Maxine Kent was a legal, authorized recipient of the disclosed report,

voluntary disclosure of these records to Bob Larsson, and subsequently to Maxine Kent.
2) Maxine Kent, due to the illegal disclosure of the investigation report, whether through
ignorance or intent, did not refuse acceptance and possession of the report.
3) Maxine Kent, under assumptive authorized receipt of the report violated 41-3-205, Section (7) by
failing to maintain the confidentiality of the records and by disclosing information in the records
to individuals, groups and institutions other than those described in 41-3-205, Section (3)(a).
This violation occurred using email.

PINEHAVEN POLICY HANDBOOK
2
Considerations regarding the laws, regulations and private policies identified above and in the attached documents
are as follows:
1) Neither Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch, nor its sponsoring agency: The First Christian Church of St.
Ignatius, Montana, currently holds, or has ever held, a valid license to operate a youth care facility.
2) Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch does not possess any legal status as a for profit, non-profit, or non-
profit 501(c)3 corporation in the State of Montana, including lack of a state or federal tax identification
number. Although in possession of non-affiliated bank accounts, investments, loans, and an isolated board
of directors, Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch claims exemption from state oversight and regulation
due to Montana House Bill 628 as an “adjunct ministry”.
3) As a self-sufficient organization with a Board of Directors consisting of Robert Larsson, Robert Eder, Mary
Jensen, and Charles Willet, Pinehaven Christian Children’s ranch is operating as an independent, non-
affiliated, non-profit corporation rather than an affiliated, dependent, “adjunct ministry.
4) Currently, with four sets of full-time houseparents, and each housing unit programmed to accommodate 12
children (six males and six females), Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch accommodates an average of
48 children at a time. This number of students meets the required number of children to classify as a “child-
care agency”. This level of registration eliminates Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch’s eligibility as a
“youth foster home”.
5) Per Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch’s “PARENTAL AGREEMENT AND CONSENT FORM”, the
institution is self-classified as a foster care facility, therefore classifying all children residing under their
care as “foster children”. This self-invoked classification mandates full compliance with licensing and
operation regulations referenced throughout “Department of Labor and Industry, Chapter 181 - Board of
Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs”
6) Per Montana State Code 52-2-602, Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch exceeds the registration limits to
qualify as a “youth foster home”
7) Currently and historically, with program participants being accepted and registered as wards of the state, in-
state and out-of-state probationary placements, Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch is classified as a
substitute care facility. This self-invoked classification mandates full compliance with licensing and
operation regulations referenced throughout “Department of Labor and Industry, Chapter 181 - Board of
Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs”
8) Per Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch’s “PARENTAL AGREEMENT AND CONSENT FORM”, the
institution is granted and accepts full authority to care for the welfare of the children in their care. This self-
invoked declaration of authority classifies Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch as a youth care facility
and mandates full compliance with licensing and operation regulations referenced throughout “Department
of Labor and Industry, Chapter 181 - Board of Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor
Programs”
9) As an operationally classified youth care facility, Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch is legally obligated
to uphold the rules and regulations outlined in the “Department of Labor and Industry, Chapter 181 - Board
of Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs”. Listed below are particular areas of
concern regarding negative compliance:

rights are immediately benchmarked to circumstantial inquiries in Pinehaven Christian
Children’s Ranch’s “Pinehaven Policy Handbook, I. Philosophies, Section 9. Confidentiality
(Lines 7-12)” referenced above.

May 20, 2010

Lake County Sheriff's Office
106 4th Ave East
Polson, MT, 59860
John Strandell
DCI - Investigations Bureau Chief
PO Box 201417
Helena, MT, 59620-1417
Chief Strandell,
In regards to your letter dated April 26, 2010, your office received information from a Vicky
Tucker of allegations of abuse at the Pinehaven Ranch in St. Ignatius by David Krug. We
received an email complaint by Mr. Krug on March 29, 2010. I was assigned to investigate the
complaint. It was during this time that I received your information, through Sheriff Larson.
I contacted Mr. Krug and requested documentation and other information on March 30, 2010. He
informed me that it was all ready to go, or in the process to send out. I spoke with him again, on
two separate occasions. As of this date I have yet to receive anything from him. I have made
numerous other attempts to speak with Mr. Krug. My calls go unanswered, and voicemails
unreturned. It is apparent to me that at this point and time Mr. Krug is unwilling to cooperate in
any type of investigation. I have read all of Mr. Krug's internet postings, of which there appears
to be a personal motive, of which I am unaware, behind the postings.
I have interviewed the staff, house parents, and administration of Pinehaven. I have reviewed all
of the cases in which Pinehaven has ever been mentioned in our records. There are two cases of
note, of which Pinehaven cooperated fully with investigators. One involved the suicide of a
juvenile male who ran away on a winter night, in which the male entered an RV in storage and
drank brake fluid. The other case involved a male staff member who sexually assaulted two
minor females. The suspect confessed, and was convicted.
The only other cases of note involve runaway juveniles from the ranch. Pinehaven Ranch
specifically works with troubled youth. I could not locate in our records any other contact with
the ranch in regards of any type of complaint, or allegation of any kind.
In Mr. Krug's original complaint, I located several items that were factually incorrect. Through
interviews and reviews of the two cases I previously mentioned, I noted that Mr. Krug was
obviously completely unaware of several key matters in both of these investigations, that he
would be aware of, had he been involved. Mr. Krug was a student at Pinehaven when Mr.
Wagener committed suicide. Mr. Krug graduated in 1998. He would have no knowledge of a
rape that occurred in 2003, as he had no contact with the school after leaving.
In addition to, I interviewed parents/caregivers of children at Pinehaven. I could not confirm any
type of abuse at the ranch, or any allegations of any type of abuse of any type. When I was at the
ranch, it was unannounced. I found the property to be clean and neat. There was nothing to
report out of the ordinary. The Pinehaven Ranch is a working cattle ranch.
In conclusion, it is my belief at this point and time, that Mr. Krug is alleging allegations against
the Pinehaven ranch for personal motives. I cannot validate, or substantiate any of his
allegations. I also noted Mr. Krug has an extensive criminal background, specifically involving
theft, identity theft, forgery, and drug abuse. The information that he originally provided to my
office cannot be regarded as factual, as I have noted several inconsistencies, and factually
incorrect information.
Sincerely,

to just keep messing up. Some of them eventually get the picture, but I think the
Pinehaven School does a good job of trying to get those kids back on a good path and
helping them out" Gehl told us.
"Overall I can't say that it was so horrible, but was there abuse, yes, is that right, no,"
Krug countered.
Gehl says there are no documented cases of any complaint against the Pinehaven
school at any time up to this date, adding that if there was anything, he would
investigate it.
Some former students are questioning the investigation and say that Detective Gehl
was biased because of his friendship with the family that runs the camp.
But, Gehl says it's a small county and the Larssons are well known in the area. Gehl
says he's not "fishing buddies" with the Larssons but he does know them.
All of the missing teens have been found (see related story).

Hi there Susqn. Thanks for writing and praying for us.

A lot of lies have been told recently about Pinehaven because Satan wants us to stop winning kids to the
Lord.

Yes, we do have a counselor, with a degree in counselling and psychology. He is my grandson, Dan
Larsson. The kids love him.
The kids are not lonely. They have their houseparents, school teachers, other staff
members, and a lot of other kids to talk to.

They do a lot of fun things. I'm forwarding you a letter about the water slide, as an
example.

We all go to church each Sunday. Some of the boys help serve communion and help take
the offerings. They all go to Bible School.

You don't sound silly. You sound concerned and so are we.

Keep praying that God will silence the lies of wicked people and keep our staff encouraged
as they reach out in love to these needy kids as we have now for 34 years.

In Him,

Bob Larsson, Pinehaven director
