HLA SECRETS.....WAKE UP STATE OF GEORGIA

[Anonymous]

Where is the ORS, GOA, LUMPKIN COUNTY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES,DAHLONEGA POLICE DEPARTMENT OR LUMPKIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT(WHICHEVER TOOK THE 911 CALL IN THE FALL),
LOCAL NEWS,DAHLONEGA NUGGET, ER PROVIDERS, STAFF..??Do all these entities not have a duty under the law to report a crime against a child?
Not to mention, a moral obligation....Apparently, a young female student
was raped by another female student garnishing a 14 inch tree limb..The young girl was sodomized and her injuries were so extensive to her pelvis, that a pelvic exam could not be performed.  911 was called, she was transported by abulance,and the ER had a duty to inform the proper authorities of the incident..The police arrived at HLA and were not allowed in??Come on...No report was filed...no local news, no articles in the paper.. The injured young girl was removed from HLA, while the alleged perpetrator stayed another month at HLA...as violent as she was..no criminal charges..everything hidden under the carpet..An assembly was called, and Headmaster Charles Cates,informed everyone that the injured girl,
did it to herself...Nice guy...I imagine the parents were paid handsomely for that... Attempted murder- one student toward another,hazing, etc. was called a "pushing incident..Apparently, it was determined that the perpetrator in the attempted murder incident, did actually try to kill another boy, so the order was signed to ship him off to a psychiatric hospital.. The violent child had a
troubling history of violence and labeled dangerous...He was admitted to HLA, knowing his background..It is reported that the ED. CON. was
none other than BUCCEALLATO himself..."WE DO NOT
TAKE VIOLENT OR SEVERELY DISTURBED CHILDREN"...

The incidents you describe above are the reason behind some high-ranking management staff's recent resignations.

You basically covered, point by point, exactly the documents I read that were widely distributed to Ed Cons by HLA's former admissions director.  He has documented very serious criminal offenses in those emails, which, if proven true, could land some people in jail and/or the poor house.

Some specific allegations in your statement above are nearly verbatim repeated from those emails.

If in fact Cates called an assembly and said
her wounds were self inflicted,he is the lowest form of life...scum...where is your humanity?I hope that little girl when all grown up, is whole
enough to sit in on your judgement day...[ This Message was edited by: juniper2 on 2006-04-06 19:11 ]

I gather you meant to say" many times , we do what we are told".....Well, sir/mam, through history that lame excuse never held up and it does not today... What if it was 'your daughter'..'your son'...While your at it, look at the pictures of the dead little souls that are a result of garbage, that turned their cheeks..They are a sad legacy of these 'Therapeutic Boarding Schools"...You will find their pictures on Teen Torture, etc..One little girl was only 10 years old....

We can all hope and pray that what these kids have gone through is rewarded by the closure of HLA and similar.

People that can coverup these kinds of things are the lowest scum on earth.

If this was widely distributed to Ed Cons, and they don't speak out, they should be held as accomplices to the crimes. There is no professional relationship as in lawyer /client that they could use to justify

Some have been bought/gifted into silence, some have been threatened, but most are protecting their revenue streams.

To admit that this is going on is a tacit admission that they knew about a lot of things yet continued to dutifully refer children there.

Keep in mind that, by far, the worst offender who has placed the most egregiously inappropriate kids there (like the kid who threatened openly to murder another kid and then acted upon the threat when he wasn't removed from the population) is none other than the owner.

The Ed. Cons., those that have sold their souls, will not say a word..It is easier to say that the people who bring this to attention are crazy.
These Ed. Cons. will protect their business, thus their so-called reputations...It is criminal to be aware of these activities and not report them...especially knowingly referring children to places such as HLA that are not licensed nor capapble to deal with violent children..There are a few that are agast, but they are not on the payroll, so to speak...

[juniper2]

Don't Ed. Cons. have a 'duty' to check out licensing of a school before sending children there?  Two weeks ago,friends child's drug counselor
just recommended one of these schools that has been under investigation...I gavemy friend the
synopsis of the place recommended, she printed out horrific things about the school, not licensed, and took it in, to call her on it..THe
counselor did't say a word...no apology..She did say,"none of these places are very good"...The counselor never even checked the stats on the place...The counselor asked to keep the papers..
just amazing...totally negligent...Just as those Ed.Cons that unknowingly refer to HLA...Those that are aware of HLA's 'secrets' are worse..

[Anonymous]

Does anyone out there have a list of those Ed. Cons referring to HLA, partial or otherwise?
It is not so easy, remember we are fighting a
billion dollar industry...a "connected" one at that.

Unfortunately, this is an all-too-familiar scenario.

I'll give you the short answer.  The Ed Cons bear no legal responsibility for referring to abusive programs.  The parents sign the contracts and the rule is "caveat emptor."

Bad advice is just that - bad advice.  It happens all the time and it's up to us, as consumers, to make the final judgement about which goods or services we will purchase.

The problem is the uneducated, gullible consumer - the ones often referred to here as "sheep."  The sheep combined with slick marketing schemes function to keep the demand curve of of these facilities perfectly inelastic.  

That is, their price never changes relative to consumer demand.  They need not lower price to induce consumption of their product because sheep are easily fleeced and there's plenty of them (i.e. demand consistently outstrips supply - which is why these places are springing up all over the place).

I am not one to typically defend what is written on this site, but this story is not fully true.  This incident was reported to the police and there was a full police investigation.  Reports that they were not let in are not accurate.

In this incident there were two very disturbed young ladies involved.  The victim did not do all of it to herself, but did ask the other girl to do it to her so that she could claim that she was raped and get pulled from the school.  The perpertrator was kept at the school for another month, but was not allowed to be around the other students.  HLA went to great lengths to find an appropriate placement for her instead of just dumping her back onto her family, who was in no way able to care for her at the time.  The family was actually very appreciative of this.

Should these girls have even been at HLA in the first place?  No.  Were they removed when that fact was made evident? Yes.

Right. Who are we going to believe the people who resigned as a result of this or you?

Some clown who wont even acknowledge his connection to HLA.
