Subject: Hidden Lake Academy

Dear Parents and Consultants,

You are probably aware that a suit has been filed against Hidden Lake Academy.  This is one of the most painful experiences that I have ever gone through  ::mecry:: and it is wrenching to our staff, students and parents.  The feelings of the staff at the meetings we have had have ranged from pain as deep as mine to absolute rage that anyone could say those things in light of the countless numbers of students and families we have worked with whose lives have been put back on a positive and productive track. :rofl:

The lawsuit will be vigorously defended by our lawyers at trial.  We have been advised by counsel not to comment on the specific allegations at this point and to allow our attorneys respond to the allegations in due course.  Our counsel and the CPA firm that does our audits and taxes have been the same since the school opened.  Any questions you have can be directed to Marty Quirk, of the Atlanta law firm of Quirk and Quirk, at 404 237 5595.

The total focus of every staff member on campus is still the children in our care.  Thank you for your support.

Sincerely.

Len Buccellato

the funny thing is im willing to bet half of the parents had no idea about this, and Buccellato just directed thier attention to it, whihc means it will be looked into by pretty much all of the parents who care even slightly for their kids, oh the irony, you think he would have at least waited till it got ot court.

Now why would Buccellato assume that Parents and Ed Cons were "probably aware that a suit has been filed against Hidden Lake Academy"?
How is it "wrenching" for students and parents? Do the kids even know?
Do I detect manipulation? Might the kids have the opportunity to work on their mental anguish about HLA being sued, in group?
 
**This is one of the most painful experiences that I have ever gone through....

I can certainly relate. My involvement with HLA wasn't "one of", but the most hurtful, disrespectful, surreal experiences I have ever gone through. Pain and rage, I can relate to those as well.

Here's a prediction for you, at the trial they'll march a number of current students up on the stand who will swear without HLA they'd be "dead or in jail".

Not that the testimony wouldnt be under duress or anything, Im sure they'll tell every court ordered kid they have (kids who arent really there so shhh be quiet about it) that if HLA is forced to close down theyll be sent straight to jail. Not neccesarily true but hey when have they ever been above manipulating kids?

actually, due to the nature of the suit, they may be legally required to tell all parents and studentsover the age of 18 they are being sued, im pretty damn sure that the students arent upset about, well maybe like 5 are, but the majority probably arent.  But yeah I dont think having students brought in to testify would work too well, because most of the suit involves administrative actions that arent nessicarilly related to how the students are treated.  Not to mention that im sure most students could find plenty of bad things to say about the place, especially under the threat of purjury.

Sounds great.  Just take the stand, Len, and explain everything.  I can't wait to see you sitting up there on the stand on your little booster seat having a panic attack.  I'll be there.

If and when this goes to trial. I would like to be in the court room. The only thing is I wish Mike Witherspoon and Greg Lyndsey were also there, and having to try to defend their actions. To bad they abondoned a sinking ship like rats!

I have a question for all those more legal savvy than I (which is most people)... What do you think the possibility is that we'll really win this one? I mean it's so hard to get hopes up sometimes that something will actually be done to hold these people (especially Len Buccellato) responsible for what they have done. These kind of slimy people slip their way out of trouble all the damned time. Whats going to make this time any different? They deserve to be held personally accountable for their wrongdoings, not get a slap on the wrist and an ego booster that they could get away with it all over again.

Take a look at the law firm representing the Plaintiffs:

http://www.bergermontague.com/

They are one of the best law firms in the United States and their expertise is in Class Action Suits.

No firm would have taken on this case if they didn't think they could win it.

Len only talks about his pain..... what about the pain we've all been through? Was this letter an attempt to gain sympathy for him? Pathetic.

Maybe Len can get some "therapy" from one of the HLA counselors to help him deal with his "pain".   :rofl:

Wouldn't HLA label that "manipulation" and consequence the manipulator? White bread and cheese sandwiches for a month dude.
