Photos posted on a well known web site lead to the investigation of an eastern Kentucky high school principal.
Attorney General Jack Conway’s office along with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services is looking into Hazard High School Principal Donald "Happy" Mobelini.
The investigation comes after photos of him surfaced on the website facebook.
The pictures show him taking his daughter and four of her friends to a rock concert in Cincinnati.
The girl's, ages 16 to 17, are seen drinking and smoking in Mobelini's presence.
He told us he had no idea what the girl's were doing behind his back.
The four girls told us they hid the alcohol from Mobelini.
The principal told us at Hazard's Football Game that he is fully cooperating with the investigation.
Hazard Superintendent Sandra Johnson did not return our calls for comment, but she told the Herald Leader no action will be taken against Mobelini because the incident did not happen on school property and was not a school function.
Mobelini is also a Hazard City Commissioner.
He was criticized earlier this year after police caught students drinking on the school's football field not long after he left them.

What is a Principal.1: a person who is in a leading position: the chief executive officer of an educational institution; a leading performer. Now who is to stay if Happy is right or wrong on how he chooses to raise his teenage daughter. The fact is, he is not capable of being a leader. There has been 1 other incident were teenagers and alcohol are under his watch. Why should there be an investigation. What is it in the meaning of a principal would you have to think about. Does Happy still qualify for the position. No it didn't happen on school grounds but one incident did. Are you kidd'n me!!! Maybe the superintendent needs to be investigated along with Happy. Hazard High has been degraded and our kids, the ones who did nothing, are the ones who have to suffer for his actions. Come on Hazard school board, don't let this be a hard decision when there have been better principals at this school you've fired for smaller reasons than this. Lets see were your "HAZARD PRIDE IS".

I think the world of Happy for taking my sister from HHS to the doctor as quick as he did the day she was put in the hospital last year, but there is something I don't get about this situation. First of all, how are you going to look in the rear view mirror and not see what is going on....2nd, how are you not going to smell the beer??? He needs to come up with an excuse better than " I didn't know " if he wants to keep his job.

Happy is an enabler. If it wasn't evident by the situation earlier this year with the seniors on the football field at the school then it is now because anybody could have figured out that there was alcohol in that vehicle. What did they do with their beer cans and alcohol bottles after they were finished with them to keep Happy from seeing them and where did they get the alcohol? The State needs to step in because no one in Hazard is going to do anything about this.
