(free gioia?)
I've seen that before. What does it refer to? Was this child really there four years? Why? What were the circumstances?
I've never heard of a kid being signed up for that long upon enrollment. Point being, they are not a four-year-college-prep boarding school. You do your time (18+ months) and move on- either to a traditional boarding school or back home. The later carries no 'guarentee' as I understand it.

"you should know all the policies robert since you used to work there...eh?"

Is there any truth to this ???

Is Robert a former staff instead of a former student?

No at this point I cannot. You see Buch and the gang got very upset with her for telling the truth. Theyve punished her for not manipulating and for not lying. As such shes suffered at the hands of them as so many of us have. Obviously for said reasons shes remained quiet. Why do you need to talk to her?

Doubtfull, they sued her for breach of her confidentiality contract, not libel.

 :grin:

Not that they agreed with you, but what do you think she lied about?

Just wanted to make sure you understand how your comment has no merit. Simply because I think its funny.

If HLA believed Marla had lied in her statements concerning them they would have sued her for libel.

They didnt they sued her because she talked at all and violated her confidentiality agreement.

So in effect I was right, they sued her for telling the truth.  :grin:

It was probably easier to sue her for breach of confidentiality by discussing the school at all instead of libel. It doesn't necessarily mean she didnt commit libel. You wouldn't know for sure either way, unless, of course, you work for the attorney's office.

And perhaps if she'd taken her concern to the appropriate authorities, she wouldn't have been sued at all.
Does reporting suspected abuse constitute a breach of confidentiality?
I find it interesting and curious that other ex-staff (DJ, Jarhead) who 'talk about' HLA are not being sued. Why was Marla targeted?

Oh but by not suing her for libel they arent disputing her claims. They are simply stating theyd rather she didnt talk about them.

Again if the school is really so squeaky clean and has nothing to hide why couldnt they defend their image on court or on here?

Dysfunction left very early on, employees may not have been forced to sign a confidentiality agreement at that time. Jarhead is pro HLA why would they come after him?

Marla on the other hand did sign an agreement stating she would not tell the truth about HLA. However she choose to do the right thing and suffered for it.

As far as illegal issues I dont believe Marla discussed many of those aspects, although her comments concerning the girl who thought she might kill herself would have warranted DCS intervention.

She may have spoken with them I dont know. She posted on here for the same reason I do. To make sure parents here the truth. [ This Message was edited by: RobertBruce on 2005-12-04 21:38 ]
