What are you going to say when the facts are made public?

Have you found that police report yet?

 Are you CRAZY?  You make absolutely no sense at all.  Everything you put on here is way more outlandish than anything anyone from HLA could ever dream of making up!"

"Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."--

But let's hear from some former HLA captives. How much does this sad story look like what would happen if Len Buccellato and Rudy Bentz had anywhere from substantial influence to effective control over a state's juvenile justice, school, and rehab policies? Cause that's what's going on in Florida. The president's brother, just like the president and his daddy before him, are very close social and business affiliates w/ Mel and Betty Sembler; proud Seed parent group members and founders of Straight, Inc.

A year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush.

I cannot see what is so crazy that Eudora wrote.
Reality is often stranger than fiction. One of the threads here had a bit about how evil is much more innocuous in reality than on television, that's for sure.

These places like HLA are wrecking lives in many cases. yes, some kids may do better, but many do not.

Semblers and Bush and Co. all believe in simple answers with good poater names to put behind themselves when they "speak". Like "helping america's youth" "saving youth from drugs" etc. etc. It is correctly called propaganda.

Simple answers often do not work. There are very real problems with the youth of today as there have been in the past. I think it is pretty bad today, but locking up kids, denying them voice to their families, holding them on the ground by standing on their backs, sniffing goose crap, constantly waving threats of "restrictions" and on and on, does not work. Counselors need to counsel, not act as spies for the goons. That means they should consider the child's needs before anyone else's, including who they work for. That's tough, but it is moral.

Eudora had this quote:

"A year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush."
--Pentagon advisor, Richard Perle, September 22, 2003

They have already named the 60%-of-Saddam's Day Sewage system after Mr. Bush

It looks like HLA is trying desperately now to get "The Chapel Fund" off the ground.

It was widely questioned where the money went and instead of an explanation of where all that money went, we get a solicitation for MORE MONEY!

Ya know, all the money they've collected over the years for the chapel fund DOESN'T SHOW on their TAX RETURNS.

How can you collect a half million dollars and not even REPORT IT?  This stinks of "FRAUD"!

[Anonymous]

The never ending Chapel fund....
it keeps giving and giving and giving...
the donors that is.

From HLA's website:

"Tax Deductions
Monthly tuition payments may be tax deductible. As a parent of a disabled child, you are entitled to deduct as medical expenses the cost of tuition and room costs for a residential school."

So, now kids that attend an "academics only boarding school" are considered "disabled" and parents can deduct medical expenses?

This is fraud, plain and simple.  It's either fraudulent advertising/licensing ("academics only") or tax fraud ("disabled child").  

Pick one.

I just cannot fathom why the great State of Georgia allows this kind of duplicity.  How does HLA get it "both ways" from the state, ORS and SACS-CASI...?

Just some more false advertising.  They are claiming "43 full time Masters level counelors."

This is an absolutely blatant lie, but, hey, who's checking?

Maybe it's time to make an appeal to the FTC about this false advertising campaign?

They make some really crazy claims on this site, like 20 "state certified teachers" (two "special ed") and more.

They tell so many lies that they can't even keep them straight.


"Hidden Lake Academy (HLA), located on a 215-acre campus one hour north of Atlanta, helps young people make significant gains in emotional maturity and academic achievement. Integral to the HLA program is an equal emphasis on the college-preparatory academic curriculum and sudent's therapeutic work. The Academy's 20 state-certified teachers (including two in the area of special education), 32 Master's-level counselors, and 35 wilderness/recreation staff members cooperate to help students develop all aspects of their lives: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. The 9:1 student to teacher ratio ensures individual attention and a return to academic success."

False advertising at its finest.

Unfortunately, the parents buy it hook, line and sinker.I know I did.
