Controversial Girls Home for Sale - WDAM-TV 7-News, Weather, Sports-Hattiesburg, MS

The director of the troubled Bethel Girls Academy says he may move his operation somewhere else.
Herman Fountain Jr. has put the Bethel facility up for sale. He says because the school no longer has any residents it can't afford to stay open.
But Fountain says the academy may relocate to Hattiesburg or Lucedale.

On Wednesday News Seven filed a public records request with the Mississippi Department of Health to learn the status or results of its investigation.
