Marla left HLA in February 2005.  She wrote an open letter about the academy to help us all.
Does anyone know where to find that letter.  I have tried Fornits data base, it seems to have
disappeared.  Thanks.

AMAZING FORUMS: Teacher Runs From HLA

Author  Topic:   Teacher Runs From HLA  
marla  posted 2/7/05 5:15 PM        
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a rare adult survivor of HLA - I got out IN FEBRUARY 2005,with a little sanity left. After teaching special education for nearly 20 years, I only survived 6 months at HLA. The kids don't feel they can talk to their counselors - maybe its manipulation - maybe not, so they told me things, but I was not in a position to do much except listen without criticizing them and then report safety concerns.ACTUALLY I REPORTED A SAFETY CONCERN TO A COUNSELOR (D.S.) THE DAY I LEFT. IT WAS ABOUT A GIRL WHO HAD JSUT RETURNED FROM A PSYCH HOSPITAL FOR TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE WHILE SHE WAS ON "clean air" _ where there is supposed to be extra supervision - THE GIRL HAD CUT SEVERAL MORE TIMES (mostly small stuff)DURING THE 24 - 36 HOURS SHE HAD BEEN BACK AT HLA AND TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE AND THOUGHT SHE NEEDED TO RETURN TO THE PSYCH HOSPITAL - I TOLD DOUG S. - ONE OF HER COUNSEWLORS ABOUT IT AND HE SAID "WELL, TELL HER TO CUT AGAIN AND THEN WE'LL SEND HER BACK TO THE PSYCH HOSPITAL." They certainly can't tell their parents their real feelings and experiences without being punished for being manipulative by those who are assigned to monitor their mail, email and phone calls. HLA is not the panacea for all teen problems - most of which kids grow out of or learn to use to their advantage in the business world. Some HLA kids need counseling, some need AA, some need psych hospitals; most need love and time to mature - most are there because their parents were MANIPULATED BY ED. CONSULTANTS AND HLA advertisements. Want a GREAT LAUGH? Go to "struggling teens.com/archives/2001/6/visit01.html" this is a site from "Woodbury Reports, Inc." some ed. consultant deal out of Idaho. This site, while only a few years old, certainly did not describe the HLA I just left. The article claimed the campus was attractive - that's about the only info. I can agree with in their entire review. All the "players" names have changed, except Len, who still owns it and seems like a decent guy, only he leaves the "Mice to play" while he does all his other business things and they do whatever they find most convenient (and maybe even sadistically fun). The article says all teachers are certified - try maybe 20%! The site claims all the kids have IEPs - not! Even if they come in with an IEP, HLA does not have to abide by it because they are a private institution. 100% do not attend college! The cafeteria does not over look the lake - maybe they visited on a rainy day! Restrictions kids get less food and water and are supervised by folks with questionable objectives. Most of the counselors are straight out of college with no experience, so they buy into what the administrators feed them about treating kids in a very punitive way and being constantly suspicious, not to mention telling them behavior modification works. It has been proven that behavior modification in humans is temporary at best.PARENTS - DO YOURSELF AND YOUR WALLET A FAVOR - BEFORE PICKING ANY BOARDING SCHOOL, VISIT UNANNOUNCED AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, AFTER PLACING YOUR KID IN ONE, VISIT UNANNOUNCED. Refuse to be treated like a mushroom- kept in the dark and fed crap! (Parents need to know when their son has been beaten up by a group of homophobic guys. (Some of the kids who came to tell me their problems were gay and felt they were being discriminated against because of this by their counselors and others.) Parents need to know when their daughter has stepped in big puddles of blood first thing in the morning that were left behind by her suicidal roomate. Parents need to know that group therapy has been shown to be more harmful than helpful for "cutters." THIS IS ALL SERIOUS AND FROM THE HEART BECAUSE I TRULY CARE ABOUT THESE KIDS.

They did take her to court, they did not treat her very well when she left. I don't know the final outcome, there was talk of a settlement, but not realy in her favor. There are a lot of former staff out here that have either be threatened or actually taken to court. Try contacting some of them through this board.

Unless there have been some serious policy changes there are a great deal of court ordered kids there, as well as suicide attempts and occasional success'.

Susie,
You claim to have had no contact with HLA since 2000 and that no one is currently providing you with information; yet you continue to speak on their behalf. Why are you speaking anonymously like an authority?

You still haven't copped to blatantly lying in your anonymous postings.

Why again aren't you using your user name?

Susie,
Is tuition to HLA still being paid by insurance companies? Are parents still taking tax write-offs for visits to see their 'disabled' child?

http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?to ... 120#148107 (http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?topic=12047&forum=41&start=120#148107)
Might insurance companies feel a bit ripped off if they knew they were paying for tuition to a private boarding school?
How would the IRS feel about parents writing off expenses related to visits to their kid's private boarding school?

What... your contacts can't answer this question for you? Or would you prefer to leave that can of worms sealed?

Wonder which Insurance companies have been defrauded- paying for 'tuition' to a 'private boarding school'?

And my only contact is with my son's father and I dont discuss school issues with him. And as far as posting anonymously I didnt ever care whether or not anybody knew who I was, doesnt matter to me. I am speaking on my own behalf on what I know personally, I am not speaking for the school.

Than how can you claim to know such up to date things, like how the school is licensed, food rationing regulations, health code standards, and how many people have either committed suicide there or how many have attempted to do so?

How can you know all of these things if you dont work there and you dont speak with your ex concerning the school?

You know what maybe we should take your advice. Maybe we should call up the different insurance companies and let them know they are paying for children to attend a traditional boarding school. Maybe call up the IRS as well, I wonder what kind of effect that would have?

What do you think?

Also Im still waiting to hear your opinion on what you think HLA should be licensed as. A theraputic boarding school, or a traditional boarding school.

Let me know.

You know Ive got to admit I didnt even notice the time stamps on those post, it appears you and your friend are either the same person or have a very close relationship.

Which is it Susie?

One of the most flagrant frauds perpetrated within the industry.

Identify as a private boarding school to avoid safety regulations and oversight.... advertise as a therapeutic facility and accept insurance money.
The fraud needs to be exposed.

I suppose the IRS could also supeona the names of previous clients and treat them to an audit to determine if they'd written off the expenses related to the child attending a PBS.

Where Do You Report Suspected Tax Fraud Activity?
If you have information about an individual or company you suspect is not complying with the tax law, report this activity.

Are you a tax rat?
 
The IRS welcomes calls about suspected tax fraud -- so long as your information is legit.
April 1, 2005: 3:54 PM EST
By Jeanne Sahadi, CNN/Money senior staff writer
 
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) ? If you're like most Americans, you believe everyone should pay their fair share of taxes. So you may get a little miffed by people whom you suspect don't.

You may, in fact, be tempted to rat them out.

Last year, nearly 294,000 people called the IRS hotline for reporting tax fraud (1-800-829-0433) with tips on folks they thought were skirting their tax-paying obligations. But many complainants also have personal reasons for trying to snag someone.
 
"We encourage people to use that phone line if they know of or suspect fraud," said IRS spokesperson Eric Smith. But, he also noted, "we don't get a real high percentage of good leads from those calls."

The reason: callers often have incomplete information or are transparent in their quest for revenge.

How do you know if you fall into the latter category? "Ask yourself, 'If I didn't have any emotional involvement, would I consider this to be important?'" Smith said.

If you do offer IRS investigators serious leads, it may be willing to pay you for the favor. IRS Publication 733 offers details on the conditions under which the agency pays rewards and how to claim them. And for more information on rewards paid, click here.

The amount of the rewards offered range from 1 percent of the amount the IRS recovers in a case up to -- but not exceeding -- $10 million.  :eek:

Most tax issues are not handled in a criminal manner, Smith said. Of the criminal cases undertaken by the IRS, most involve hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. "It's not going to happen with very small amounts," he said.

Good to know if you're choosing between snitching on the guy who pockets restaurant receipts to write off as business expenses and the guy you're pretty sure is involved in money laundering schemes.

Dennis Jay at Coalition Against Insurance Fraud might be interested in exposing the apparent fraud on his website:
http://insurancefraud.org/ (http://insurancefraud.org/)

In 2004, health care expenditures were estimated at $2.1 trillion which represents 15.5 percent of the Gross Domestic Product. By the year 2012, CMS estimates total health care spending to exceed $3.1 trillion. With health care expenditures rising at three times the rate of inflation, it is especially important to coordinate all investigative efforts to combat fraud within the health care system. The FBI is the primary investigative agency in the fight against health care fraud, and has jurisdiction over both the federal and private insurance programs. With more than $1 trillion being spent in the private sector on health care and its related services, the FBI's efforts are crucial to the success of the overall program. The FBI leverages its resources in both the private and public arenas through investigative partnerships with agencies such as the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services-Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Defense Criminal Investigative Service, Office of Personnel Management, Internal Revenue Service and various state and local agencies. On the private side, the FBI is actively involved with national groups, such as the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA), the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA), the American Association of Retired Persons and the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, as well as many other professional and grass-roots efforts to expose and investigate fraud within the system.

Since I have no idea who the other person posting is, why dont you do your IP search that you are so good at to see that we aren't the same person. I know I am posting from outside the state of Georgia. I have no idea where they are posting from. As far as what the school should be classifed as, I have no idea how that is determined. But from what I have seen, it seems it could be considered both in different circumstances. THat would be something that would need to be taken up by someone other than me to determine that.

HAHAHA yet somehow you both magically decide to post at the same time. You keep forgetting Bullfrog, the rest of us are all smarter than you.

Please tell me more about how the school can be classified as both a traditional boarding school and a theraputic one? How is this possible legally? Or even ethically? Is there such an allowance at the state level to register as one, yet advertise as another.

I know youre to stupid and weak to answer the question honestly, but offer your opinion at the very least.

Do you think it is okay morally and ethically for the school to be registered with the state as a traditional, but advertise and operate as a theraputic?

I see, what classifies as an actual suicide attempt and what you determine to be just intentionally hurting themselves?

Since you work there maybe you can convince your boss to swing by here and answer a few questions.

Like I said before if he has nothing to hide, what does he have to lose?

Still us.

If you arent the bullfrog you have a very close relationship with her ugly ass.

If you arent an employee there you were either:

A. A student, this is however unlikely, students dont stay there for three years unless they get dropped at least twice, or after graduating come back for additional time.

B. A former employee who was either fired or quit.

or

C. A liar.

So which is it?

Also why dont you respond to the question regarding the licensure issue. What is your opinion on the matter?

Which one hurting myself or attempting suicide? HAHAHAHA what a typical HLA remark. One that in fact was suggested to me by an upper level staff member while at HLA.

It was a moment or two later when the staff member found himself having been punched in the face and bleeding profusley.

I figured if he liked pain Id simply help him out a little.

In fact there were several students who when in conflict with the staff iregardless of having no suicidal tendencies were encouraged to attempt to kill themselves.

Was this a tactic you learned at HLA?

Did it ever work?

Have you thought about trying it yourself? I mean you dont seem to be doing anything worth while. No one really needs you around. It would probably be better that way. Sort of an opposite "Its a wonderfull life" for you. I on the other hand am needed, I mean just think if I wasnt here who else would there be to expose you people and dispell the propoganda youve been instructed to spew off?

Let me ask you, is a kid who cuts his wrist trying to kill himself or simply hurt himself?

No you didnt, you lied and claimed they werent required to be licensed.

Also can you explain the coincidence that not only do you two agree on everything, but you post so often at the exact same time.

As I said before if you arent her you have a very close relationship with her. Maybe youre that vagrant we talked about earlier who wrecked her marriage.

Also if you no longer work there, how can you testify as to the suicide situation is there?

My commment about you "giving it a try" was nothing that I learned at HLA, just my personal advice because I think that your a pompus little ass... as for the suicide situation, you never asked when I was there. If you care to take a swing at me, ok.. as I said before you have no idea who I am, when I was there, and a lot more. But if it will make you feel like a big man.. ok.. take your best shot.. the I'll give you a 500 yard head start...then well we'll just have to see.
My thoughts about the license issue is that it appears that they are operating wit in the letter of the law, albiet perhaps not the spirit of it. Imagine a private company that does not "realy" follow the law, the shock of it all.

Then again, maybe I am useing this forum, as you so aptly put it " cheap entertainment" I just wish the Overlord was still here, now he was funny. Your just mildly amusing.

Awwww how cute. You want to talk big behind a computer screen. To bad the real thing cant back it up. Then again I guess thats why you took a job at HLA, youre such a weak person, always picked on and abused by your peers, you have this inate need to seek revenge. Unfortunalty the only ones you can really do that to effectivly are children. The fact of the matter is your a pathetic little weakling, as are all child abusers, and like all child abusers you cower in fear when the pup grows up to a be a big dog. Knowing those facts alone makes it all worth while.  :grin:

Now as to your comments, Im sure you do find me to be a "pompus little ass" Im sure your very frustrated at not being able to defeat any of my or others arguments. Im suprised you arent used to that by now. Its to bad for you the truth prevails in this situation. You should get used to that to.

Explain to me how HLA is operating within the "letter of the law" as you put it. They are lying to the state about their purpose are they not? Whether or not this is a common practice has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not it is ethically and morally responsible for a school that claims to enstill those very values in children is itself behaving hypocritically.

Is your argument just because others are doing it, its okay?

Is this the offical stance of HLA?

Whats even more important is why they are doing it. The reason being to avoid the obeying the regulations concerning discipline and a means for students to air their greivances to the state. Also we cant forget if HLA obeyed the law students would be able to communicate with their parents truthfully without fear of consequence. No HLA cant have that can they.

Again though if they have nothing to hide why instill such a policy?

Get back to me on those.

Private message me if you want, but Im a very open guy. All about honesty. I guess thats why the staff never cared to much for me at HLA.

the friendly, helpful marine. who would've guessed.

"My commment about you "giving it a try" was nothing that I learned at HLA, just my personal advice because I think that your a pompus little ass... as for the suicide situation, you never asked when I was there. If you care to take a swing at me, ok.. as I said before you have no idea who I am, when I was there, and a lot more. But if it will make you feel like a big man.. ok.. take your best shot.. the I'll give you a 500 yard head start...then well we'll just have to see.
My thoughts about the license issue is that it appears that they are operating wit in the letter of the law, albiet perhaps not the spirit of it. Imagine a private company that does not "realy" follow the law, the shock of it all.
Then again, maybe I am useing this forum, as you so aptly put it " cheap entertainment" I just wish the Overlord was still here, now he was funny. Your just mildly amusing."

whether you are currently active in the service, or not, it doesnt matter, that kind of behavior, the internet threats is normally restricted to 14 year olds with bad acne that play online video games. does it make you feel tough?

No trust me if I wanted to hide out of fear like you and bullfrog, id post anonymously. The reality is I want parents to be able to contact me for information if need be. Plus its easier to network this way. Im interested though in your claims of me making a personal attack on you.

Did you not suggest I kill myself?

You dont view this as a personal attack? I told you in your private message the same rules dont apply in the real world as they do in HLA. You dont get to be a hypocrite out here without being called on it. You arent right just because you say so. If you cant adjust I suggest you go back to HLA, because you wont find any sympathy out here.

As to jousting at windmills. Well thats not really the reality now is it? These windmills really are dragons arent they. This dragon really does abuse children doesnt it. While it may pretend to be just a windmill the truth is fastly being exposed.

You claim that arguing with Aften was a waste of time. Where is Aften these days? Shes certiannly not here. Why is that? Maybe its because she couldnt handle being exposed for what she is. Maybe she couldnt handle having so many questions she couldnt answer. Maybe she couldnt stand not having a rebuttal to any of my comments towards her, highlighting her assumptions about people she had never met, knew nothing about, and how she was acting exactly like an HLA staff member. I suppose its a possibility. But if thats the case then I guess it wasnt such a waste of time afterall was it?  :grin:

Also Im wondering what you consider "off task" is highlighting the typical behavior found in HLA staff members off task? I dont think so. I mean just you today using the tried and true method of telling someone to kill themselves is a tactic often employed by HLA staff members. We could discuss that if you like. Or perhaps you could stop dodging the issues concerning licensure. Or since you were on restrictions we could talk about food rationing. You pick.


Oh and please list off the assumptions I have made. Shouldnt be to hard for you.

Also and thank you for adding to my laughter for today. You claim Im the one getting all riled up, but here you are wanting to fight me?  :grin:
Yeah youre cool as a cucumber pal. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Again typical staff behavior, well typical behavior of anyone on the lower end of the inteligence spectrum (which is generally one and the same) you cant win an argument with words or by simply using your mind, so you want to get physical. It wont change anything, and youll lose either way.

***I stand by what I said, there has only been one real attempted suicide in the last three years, how do I know, I was there. are there students that intentionaly harm themselves, yes, there were several. but as far as actuall suicide attempts, only one.

Was that the one the ex-staff spoke of? Did ?Doug S? tell her to cut again?
http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?to ... rt=#150078 (http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?topic=12817&forum=41&start=#150078)
ACTUALLY I REPORTED A SAFETY CONCERN TO A COUNSELOR (D.S.) THE DAY I LEFT. IT WAS ABOUT A GIRL WHO HAD JSUT RETURNED FROM A PSYCH HOSPITAL FOR TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE WHILE SHE WAS ON "clean air" _ where there is supposed to be extra supervision - THE GIRL HAD CUT SEVERAL MORE TIMES (mostly small stuff)DURING THE 24 - 36 HOURS SHE HAD BEEN BACK AT HLA AND TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE AND THOUGHT SHE NEEDED TO RETURN TO THE PSYCH HOSPITAL - I TOLD DOUG S. - ONE OF HER COUNSEWLORS ABOUT IT AND HE SAID "WELL, TELL HER TO CUT AGAIN AND THEN WE'LL SEND HER BACK TO THE PSYCH HOSPITAL."

Your comment to RB, combined with this report and ex-students comments would suggest that kids may be encouraged to hurt themselves. Is this an attempt to fake them out? What is the therapeutic take on this? How can you be sure which ones will act and which won't? And which injuries are considered actual attempts or just 'self injury'?

What difference does it make if we caught all your anonymous post. The fact that we caught you at all when you lied (something you claimed you never do) about who you were. This proves youre afraid. Why else would you hide your own identity. Further if there are issues that you dont know the answer to why then would you ever discuss it to begin with? You seem to pride yourself on discussing issues so long as you know nothing about them, and then claim ignorance when your faced with a difficult question.

An example would be the issues concerning you revealing information about Devin, you refuse to answer the questions put to you on the matter because you are afraid.

Just like you refused to answer the follow up questions regarding the licensure issues.

Just like you refused to follow up with the health department.

I read each and everyone of your pointless ramblings, I do so I can respond to each and everyone, something you cant do..again out of fear.

You are afraid of the truth. It is undeniable Mrs. Gray, just accept it.

No trust me you have not answered every question put to you. For instance I asked you how you could claim that he and I similar personalities, since as you claim you only met him once, and that quite breifly.

If you have nothing to fear answer the question.

Oh and yes it is the same kid, because Bullfrog you fucked up.

He was only there for three months.  :grin:

Oh and dont kid yourself you barely know what the meaning of the word truth is. You lie on a regular basis. Do you want to regal us further with your claims that students are never hidden from visitors or Educational Consultants. Or how about your claim that students were not used as slave labor around campus? Or how about your discussions of no food rationing?

Id love to put you to shame and discuss all of those issues further if you like.

Let me know.

Also given the last post can you explain how you claimed you never lie, yet you were proven to have done so?

To respond to your stupid question, the answer is no there werent. Do you want to argue that there were to Devin's between 1997-1999 that as you claim were a "pain in the ass" (still waiting on that libel question from you) and both of whom stayed there for only three months?

Its the same kid. And you royally screwed yourself. He can sue the shit out of you if he wants, and trust me Im begging him to do it.

Posts like this are actually very revealing.  This is how staffers at BM warehouses deal with inmates who have legitimate complaints or concerns: get them "out of whack," then punish them severely for "acting out."  

It is very common for staff to badger the inmate by telling them things like "Why don't you go ahead and hit me?  You know you want to..."  I've seen this many times from many unprofessional, uneducated employees.  It looks to me like they get off on it.

More importantly it shows that they don't have the cognitive ability to logically and productively overcome their charges' maladaptive thought patterns/behaviors.  Since they have such a strong, unnatural need to be "right" all the time, they resort to petty name-calling and challenging children to fight.  It's just a sign that these folks are grossly incompetent and have no business working in any therapeutic capacity.

There's nothing more punk and pathetic than an adult who threatens children with violence.  Just be aware, potential parents, that you will be handing your kid off to some seriously fucked up folks like this gentleman, "Jarhead."

Well im glad that person was able to save  me all that hard work. Oh Susie is it? This is Devin the student whose information you decided to release.

    Ive been given the entire update from Dan and RobertBruce as to what's been happening here. Can you explain to me why you feel the need to release information about me? I was at Hidden Lake, and I was there in the time frame you referenced, and I was only there for three months.

     Hidden Lake committed a number of crimes against me, left me with issues some of which I still carry to this day. Now I've managed to put the past behind me, and move on with my life. Yet here you are wanting to bring to light the fact that I was there. Susie it's a place I'd soon forget as it did me no good and cost me more than you know. I never came after Hidden Lake and trust me I could have, but if acting as their agent you wish to go down that path, I promise you and Dr. Len will both soon regret it. I will bring down a shit storm like you can't believe. If you are as you claim acting of your own accord, then why did you feel need to bring me into this? Despite your claims you and I never met. I don't know you from Adam and barely knew your husband save one or two encounters. So what gives you the right to pretend you know me? On top of releasing my information? RobertBruce is trying very hard to convince me to seek action against you. At this point I'm leaning against it simply because I don't want to have to dreg all those past abuses. However I think at the very least you owe me an explination and an apology.

Not sure who's making this declaration. Are you confirming that you are indeed a therapeutic boarding school? In that case, you should be licensed.
What part of the program is not 'therapeutic', given that the patients are being 'treated' for psych dx such as ODD, locked-in 24/7/365 from the outside world, held incommunicado, and aren't allowed to come and go as they please?

Have you read the definition of RCF?
Which part(s) of the definition do you feel aren't applicable to HLA?

You can argue that they are not an RCF all day, but standard practice is: when any facility cares for children 24/7/365, controls contact with parents/relatives, provides a diagnosis at enrollment and ongoing therapy, dispenses drugs, etc... they should be licensed.

Many states that have regs are largely in the dark. As the Dir of Utah licensing admitted, "We are reactive, not proactive."  Whose interest does that serve? Utah DHS promotes programs on their website.

They should be looking at 'services provided' and if they don't have an appropriate 'classification' then create one. In this case, it wouldn't matter if they advertised as a TBS or EGS or PBS, they still meet the definition of an RCF based on services provided.
RCF is the catch-all catagory for all such programs.

What we all know, is that HLA is not/was never a traditional boarding school and that the accreditation organizations they are members of do not provide the same oversight and protection that the state would.

Until parents and Ed Cons refuse to place children in programs that avoid state oversight, hitting them in the pocketbook, this will continue to be a problem. HLA is not the first, or last, to avoid state oversight.

The question remains...Why?

The fact of the matter is if they were registered as a theraputic boarding school there would be a means for students to discuss problems they have with the school without fear of reprisal, along with being able to contact their parents unrestricted. I would be interested in hearing an argument from someone stating how this might be a negative thing.

State wouldn't be 'running' the program. The program would be required to follow state regulations as other child warehousing institutions, which are designed to ensure safety, competence, and basic human rights.

Granted, the state can not absolutely provide protection against all abuse and god knows they run some abusive facilities themselves (the kid who was recently killed at a Ga state-run wilderness program due to illegal restraint), but some protection is better than none.

As it is, HLA is a private corporation and no one is monitoring the 'therapeutic' aspect of the program.

How many fall into this category? What purpose would it serve? Would the student simply never have to go to reals or would they be dropped over and over again?

If they remain in reals being dropped over and over again in this a testament to the ineffectiveness of the treatment?

If they dont go to reals are they deemed cured and excused from all theraputic aspects of the school? (whats left?)

Also why are you bringing it up? Jar-Jar is in fact former restrictions staff, not a former student.

However since you brought it up yes I am preety familiar with the day to day policies that I dealt with as an inmate at HLA.

Why which ones would you like to discuss?

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.

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.

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 ]

Posted by a physician in another thread...

"My experience with Hidden Lake Academy was also distressing.

In my opinion, and the opinions of the six other physicians in my practice who followed my HLA misadventure with me, HLA is a predator whose prey is the horrified parents of disturbed teens. It is an institution of opportunity, bringing home its bottom line at the expense of the desperate, frazzled families it exploits.

By the time most parents are introduced to HLA, they've already been through a costly and demoralizing gauntlet of police stations, court appearances, counselor visits, psychiatric evaluations...even hospital visits.

To say they are desperate is an understatement. They are trying to keep their families from self-destructing. In most cases, the only option is turning the child out onto the streets: most insurance policies won't cover mental health care, and even if a family is lucky enough to have good coverage, it is limited to short, individual events. Deeply needed inpatient care is rarely an option for most of these families.

So even considering a modality such as a therapeutic boarding school is a true extravagance. Actually sending the student may mean mortgaging a home, selling it, or even bancruptcy.

Enter Hidden Lake and its ilk.

I was asked by the parents of a young teen to evaluate HLA by its Web site. What stood out to me even more than the philosophy that medical therapy was discouraged were the many typographical errors and careless mistakes on nearly every page of the site. While my own writing is not perfect, I am not registered as a boarding school, responsible for the education of children, presumably overflowing with teachers more than capable of proofreading the very materials provided to the public for the purpose of attracting business.

When I brought my concerns to the attention to the school, they were received with, well, less than warm gratitude. My comments to HLA were meant to be constructive. I was gracious and self-effacing in my original letter because the last thing I wanted was to offend the school. Clearly such niceties were a waste of effort.

Given that the parents are expected to pay upwards of seven thousand dollars per month for the privilege of sending their child to a therapeutic boarding school, I actually expected a minimum of civility. None was evident.

My credentials were questioned?this from an institution whose methods are questionable, at best, from a medical (and psychiatric, I might add) point of view.

Fast forward a few months...and imagine how surprised I was to come across the story of the parent in the previous posts. Am I shocked HLA will not send the child's transcripts? Nope. They demonstrated their pettiness, immaturity, and curious vindictiveness to me, a peer and potential referral base a long time ago. Was I surprised that personal belongings, including necessary daily medications, were sent COD?by ground? Actually, yes.

Not only did that shock me, it caused me to pick up the phone and discuss this gross mismanagement of a patient's medications with a malpractice attorney, who recommends HLA check to be sure their insurance premiums are paid.

To the parent: my suggestion is that you alert your attorney to your experience. Gather all proof of your allegations, including the boxes the personal effects were sent in, the COD receipt(s), the condition of any damaged items, a list of missing items, if any, and proof of payments made to HLA. Regardless of any contract signed (as a previous Anonymous poster cryptically stated), a minimum level of responsibility to the patient's health is required by ANY institution. That minimum includes making reasonable arrangements for the patient to have access to their medications. COD shipping by ground is not, by any standard, "reasonable."

So guess what, parent? You may be getting a sizeable percentage of the "investment" HLA coerced you to pay them right back into your pocket.

I'll be cheering for you from this sideline."

Here's the letter of demand:

And here's the attached order:
http://fornits.com/anonanon/docs/HLA/Quirk02.jpg (http://fornits.com/anonanon/docs/HLA/Quirk02.jpg)

So I figured out who posted and got their permission to make it go away. We both agree that, ok, you're right, Joe. I don't have time or money to fight you and Judge Stone on this. You could fuck with me so hard my children would suffer unto the 3rd generation.

You have compelled me and another to stiffle one more bit of information that your client finds troubling. But that horse is already out of the chute. Don't you and they know that by now? You can shut ppl up one at a time, but you can't win and you can't do it in secret, either. THAT I'll fight you on. I don't even know much about HLA, I believe about half what I see and less of what I hear. But one thing I can't stand is a fucking bully. One thing bullies can't stand is to be seen.

But you seem like a decent sort of fellow, Joe. I really hope you'll be able, one day, to find better employment. I mean, my god, do you know how fortunate your clients are to have legal representation w/ a 24 hour turn around? Not many clients get that kind of attention, do they? I would think you could land a much better arrangement if you'd just try. Go on, put your resume out there. Don't be skeerd!

Oh, and by the way, have you got a brother named Mark in Boonville, Mo? I've wondered about that for awhile!

Are you willing to state publicly that HLAs PRIMARY PURPOSE is education?

http://www.strugglingteens.com/news/nat ... iller.html (http://www.strugglingteens.com/news/natsap_letter_miller.html)
Excerpts from
NATSAP's plea to Congressman George Miller
Re: Legislation to Curb Child Abuse in Residential Treatment Programs

We appreciate the intent of the introduction of this legislation, but are concerned the excellent work being done by a large number of residential treatment programs [RTC] will be impacted negatively if their interests are not considered.

which devote themselves to society's need for the effective care and education of struggling young people.

Since NATSAP programs are located throughout the country and serve primarily private paying families, they [all?] fall under DIVERSE LICENSURE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

In addition to membership in NATSAP, the majority [now, the 'majority'] of our members are licensed
or accredited either by a state licensing board or by a national or regional accrediting agency.

NATSAP programs, however, have legitimate concern that it would be very dangerous for either the federal or any state government to create prescriptive regulations without input and representation from our member programs. For example, our organization is quite concerned about your proposed legislation in SECTION. 303. Eligibility (b) (3) that states "In the case of each child who is a resident of the facility and whose domicile is another State, the facility meets the standards of such other State for the operation of such a facility, including any licensing standards". Given the vast array of administrative rules in different states such a clause would create an unreasonable administrative nightmare, and in effect allow the most restrictive rules in all states to dictate treatment standards for every state. [And that would be a bad thing? Sounds like it could be in the kids best interest] We urge you to omit SECTION 303 (b) (3), and furthermore ask that you meet with representatives from our organization to discuss a variety of issues with your proposed legislation.

In the private pay market, parents retain the ultimate control to authorize, pay for, and select the type of TREATMENT they feel most appropriate for their child. [Sounds like RTC. Otherwise, treatment would read EDUCATION]

We support an approach that does not suppress the diversity of legitimate methods in our profession and yet protects the interest and concerns of parents and children enrolled in our programs.

Are we behind the times.

Susie the Bullfrog claimed last summer she knew who I was, yet could not offer anything in the way of evidence to support that claim.

Later on she claimed anonymously she again knew who I was and this time dropped an incorrect name. She then went on to state when this student was at HLA and for how long.

It was obvious it was her despite her lurking in the shadows out of fear. Eventually we ran her IP and proved it was her. To this she simply stated she had done nothing wrong by revealing information about a former student, information she gained from his file as a former employee. She then claimed she knew the student in question and knew we had similar personalities. Except I and another poster in fact know the said student and convinced him to appear on here calling Susie out on her actions and stating that in fact they never knew each other. Thus the question remains to the Bullfrog as to where she got her information from. She has yet to answer the question regarding her stating that he and I had similar personalities since it was shown she never knew the student she named. She continues to claim she is innocent and that she has done nothing wrong in revealing classified information. She states she guessed at all the information she was privy to thus it is not illegal.

It is my understanding that "Quirk and Quirk"
and Marla's attorney came to an 'agreement'
during settlement to have Marla personally remove her letter. Judge Stone is in Superior
court in Georgia... The agreement and order
pertain only to Marla...In the order it clearly
states that 'Amazing Forums' and now 'this' forum
are not in agreement..They have no jurisdiction
out of the state of Georgia.  The letter did not
have to be removed if this site is out of state..
Pennsylvania?? 'Quirk and Quirk' are apparently
positioning for further info...It is incredible
that this Topic "Where is Marla?" was started on
the 28th of November and on the 29th "QUIRK AND
QUIRK" FIRED OFF A LETTER...  If this site is
out of state, they are out of line....

So what? Amazing Forums is hosted out of San Antonio, Texas. It's not that Judge Stone's order is binding on me. I know it's not. I took it as a threat to sue me at home, using Judge Stone's decision as a basis. Judges nearly always uphold the decisions of other judges. Professional courtesey, ya know. And so it would just be a damned expensive ride to the same end, only likely w/ a gag order of my own by the end of it.

Doesn't matter anyway. I bet there are copies of that very same letter floating around Cyberia.

It's like the proverbial hole in the dyke. And Joe, if your mad about my having posted your letter, just count your blessings. They don't tell you this part of the nursery story. But, at the end of the day, the little dutch boy wound up in traction.  :rofl:

No, no. The court order goes back to August 15th and only applies to a posting on Amazing Forums. Get this. When they first started pursuing that, they just assumed that I hosted that forum too. I wonder where they got that idea? Isn't that fairly similar to the program supporters mantra about only a few crack pot critics among a massive horde of happy graduates?

So, anyway, they got the order, which is a consent decree. So that means, consensual or not, Marla agreed to have her letter taken down. And so it would likely go in the Commonwealth if they pressed it here. From a jabberwock perspective, that's fair and right.

However, the posting her in this thread was mid day on the 28th of November. The letter was dated the very next day. Yup, I'd say they sure as hell are hunkering on this site. Either that or Sue's got one of them thar red phones on her desk to alert the masters at the first sign of actionable material.

I am sorry, but I do not understand...'Amazing Forums' did not have to stop the letter...how can they cross 'state' lines...?  I can't
see how a judge from another state would give a 'rats a--' what Lumpkin County says...It is
infringement on a citizens 1st Amendment rights

Post by: Antigen on December 17, 2005, 11:45:00 AM
Here's the thing, Juniper. I've never spoken w/ Marla. I've tried to send up a flair inviting her to speak w/ me about this if she wants to. But I did contact her lawyer. Legally, Marla has requested that this writing be removed (as she lacks the ability to remove it herself) And the person who posted the copy, having considered all the circumstances that we know of, drew the same conclusion; if the original author agreed, for whatever reasons, that the letter should be removed, then it should be removed. If Marla herself asked me to take it down and I could be fairly certain that it were actually she making the request, I'd send it into oblivion, no questions asked. The only thing different here is that there was a third party who came by the information honestly. That third party, being responsible for their own postings, decided that this was the 'right now' thing to do.

And so it's done. But the correspondence between me and Joe, well that's my business. If he doesn't like my spreading the stuff around, well HLA will have to pay the freight to try and put a lid on it. Either that or quit corresponding with me, seein' as how I'm such a blabber mouth and all.

Oh, and speaking of confidentiality agreements. I think the adult employees could be legally held to confidentiality agreements and conventions. But the minor children held against their will and made to 'agree' to confidentiality under duress? Good luck with that one! LOL

Otherwise shut up about it and accept the fact that it is illegal to transport minors across state lines for that purpose.
Title: Where is Marla? Hidden Lake Academy Special ED. Teacher
Post by: Antigen on December 17, 2005, 09:42:00 PM
Legal or not, depends on legal talent and venue most of the time. By some definitions, it was perfectly legal for a Florida judge to extradite me from Georgia for the 'crime' of running away several months before my 18th birthday. Was it ethical? Who might have been a more worthy target, like a serial killer or rapist or something. Who was injured or killed by one of these deserving souls while they were busy fuckin' around with me? Was it sensible? Was it even a sane thing to do?

Same w/ the professional kidnappers. There may not be a specific law against it. But there are laws (austensibly) guarding the rights of minors against forced transport and participation. If a trucker picks up a willing hitchhiker and carries them accross state lines, they enforce it. I know this because, while on the lamb from the program, I've had to get out and hoof it for a mile accross state lines. If an ex marine does it for pay to an unwilling teenager, then they just don't enforce those same laws.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Post by: Anonymous on December 18, 2005, 03:17:00 AM
In fact it is illegal if the transport is in violation of the requirements of the ICPC, which would require a pre-evaluation by a third party, permission from the sending and receiving states.

I'm telling you people, "Short Bus" is someone you ALL know. If you actually knew who he was, you'd be very surprised. And he definitely has alot to do with HLA. Go ahead, say I'm full of shit, yada-yada. You have NO CLUE my friends, and I'm anti HLA like most of you."

no, i wouldn't be surprised at all.  short bus is a good example of the product hla turns out.  he's obviously still got some huge, unresolved issues.  just look at his behavior here.  not a very good example of how hla "helps," is it?

so, if you know this guy, what do you think is his motive for not wanting people to know about how hla really works?  you say you're "anti-hla," but is your buddy short bus really pro-hla, or does he just like to bash people who he thinks are "whiners" or whatever?

tell us what the deal is with this guy.  if he has no interest in talking about the harm hla has done to many kids (i'm sure you don't disagree with this - even if you think it helped some kids), why does he act like such an imbecile instead of just saying what he thinks about the topic at hand?  if he hates the people he thinks are whiny losers, he certainly can start a thread about "the whiny loser crybabies of hla" or something like that.

you say he has a lot to do with hla.  does that mean he works there?  if it's so surprising who he is, surprise us.  tell us who he is.  if you're so anti -, why don't you just out him?  

it would NOT surprise me whatsoever to find he is an employee, because in my experience, hla employees are some of the most immature, small-minded, genuinely twisted people out there.  in my years of experience with them, this is exactly how they act.  if they cannot "win" a level, grounded debate they resort to this type of behavior.  

the way they behave and do business is indefensible, so they don't even try to defend it.  instead they visciously attack anyone who has different opinions.  they try to debase, degrade and dehumanize anyone who doesn't buy into the program and they try to ruin them (not just silence them, but destroy their lives) through whatever means necessary: lawsuits, character assassination, humiliation and what-have-you.  believe me when i tell you, i've seen this many times before coming from supposedly professional people.

no, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that short bus is on their payroll.  he strikes me as exactly the type of misguided control freak that they use to run their shitty little program.  

so, anon, let us in on your dirty little secret.  i'm sure it will be very enlightening.

any parents reading this beware.  whether he's a student or staff member, he typifies the type of person hla creates.

Why are you asking anyone other than Short Bus what Short Bus is all about? I've known the guy around these forums for a good long while now and I still can't tell you why he does what he does. Poor potty training, maybe? I honestly don't know. I've heard all sorts of crazy assed rumors about him; most of them he started.


Just don't argue with him. Or anybody else who's running you around in circles, for that matter.

Aw, shadap! Go get some Pepsi and ice cream up to the tower.

Either cocaine and marijuana are terribly dangerous substances, and breaking the law by consuming them is a major offense that should be severely punished, or these are minor, personal matters that do not really count in the big picture of a man's life. If the latter is the case, then the rationale for a bloody, costly and futile war against drugs simply disappears.

What is your estimation of how many court-ordered kids?  Your facility tells parents "none," and that is a bald-faced lie.

I'd say that if you're saying "zero" and there are actually a fair amount, then that is infinitely more than you are telling people.

Really? The worst? At least it piqued the curiosity of some significant number of Americans to our scurrilous leaders' mischief making in the rest of the world.

And is my comment to Short Bus any worse (or half as bad) as his bit about black magic when he knew full well my daughter was in ICU?

It is very simple...However one chooses to count..
THERE ARE court ordered children at HLA..PERIOD.
DEAL WITH IT!! It is not conjecture anymore..
HLA mis-represents themselves, fact.  There are
violent children there..There have been suicide
attempts, whether they include slicing oneself
up as a suicide attempt or not, it is a desperate
measure and plea for help.Marla was silenced because she was small potatoes against their
strong machine...She got to close to the children,
just like the others that have left, given the
option(some) to resign or be fired...If one
gets too close to the children or parents...they
are history, sooner or later...  And, honestly,
I don't know why on earth they are not on the watch list.Many people have contacted ISACCORP,

She was lied to and her kid was provided piss-poor services from HLA.

You have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm not surprised how you avoided the issue at hand:  HLA TAKES COURT ORDERED KIDS EVEN THOUGH THEY LIE TO PARENTS AND SAY THEY DON'T.

Please explain why HLA lies to parents about taking mandated children.

Funny you mention that.  Does your boss know that you're releasing information about former patients?

Extremely unethical at best, illegal at worst.

Why would a counselor from HLA release personal information about a former patient onto the internet?  That's really bad, completely unethical - not to mention petty - behavior coming from a supposed adult "professional."

At least you weren't a coward this time and used your username so you can delete that information that you irresponsibly posted. :roll:

But you say "23".

23 out of how many?  150?

A heck of a lot more than "zero," as you tell parents.  Why all the lies and deception?

Why can't you folks ever just give a straight story?  What is the purpose of lying through your teeth all the time about things that can be easily verified?

And the kids are the ones having "honesty issues"?

The bottom line is that there ARE court ordered kids there, but HLA consistently LIES to parents and says there are none.  I thnk the real issue here is that HLA tells blatant LIES about their treatment center.

Can you please explain why HLA LIES about having court ordered kids?  Why can't HLA tell the TRUTH about this issue?  What are they HIDING from parents?

This is SHH. I posted the name Devin as a guess as to the identity of Robert Bruce several months ago. But this is not illegal, or a violation of HIPPA, or unethical. A first name is not personal information. I have spoken to 2 attorneys about this, both of them friends of mine. It was a guess. Furthermore, I did not post a last name. That was somebody else who did that. I didn't know Devin's last name as I was only remembering him from an encounter on campus and didnt know his last name. Despite Dysfunction's and Robert's assumptions that I divulged info from a file, and personal info at that, I have done neither. I guessed and the guess was incorrect, according to Robert. I did not have access to Devin's personal file, or any other students files. I dont know who the other person is who posted the full name of the Devin person, nor do I know where they got their info, but it wasnt me.

Maybe you have time for just one question.  Why does HLA lie to parents and say they don't take court ordered kids when they do?

I haven't had much luck getting an answer to this.  Maybe you can help.

Thanks.

She happens to be lying about that situation.  She's been posting all day in the Troubled Teen Industry forum under the "HLA OPTION" thread.

You see, she's a consummate prevaricator and constant manipultor.  She says she has no time to post because of this or that, but she HAS been posting.  All day long as a matter of fact.

You really can't believe a word she says because she lies about everything, even things she shouldn't feel she needs to, but she does anyway.  I personally don't believe for one second that she's caring for anyone.  I think she's sitting in front of the computer all day posting BS and eating several bags of Oreos.

I've been looking for some answers, too, LMJ630.  Here are some of the questions I need answered, but nobody from HLA will even try to answer any of them.   :sad:

Care to answer any of these?

Why does HLA allegedly allow people to work there after they've had sex with their minor patients?

Or why does HLA take court ordered kids but lie to parents and say they don't?

Or how exactly does HLA cure homosexuality?

Or how does millieu control benefit children?

Or why does HLA illegally use forced labor to improve the campus as punishment?

Or why does HLA strip search children when they tell parents they don't?

Or why does HLA use confrontation and call it group therapy?

Or why does HLA not have a contact for grievances in violation of its accreditation?

Or why does HLA use Lifespring large group awareness seminars that have been completely discredited over twenty years ago?

Or what are your credentials to comment on HLA's program or policy?

Or why does HLA illegally accept children in violation of the ICPC?


Still waiting patiently for your response...

Thank you Dysfunction.  I haven't been able to go through all the posts so I wasn't aware that all of those things happened.

I was just curious about a couple other things.  I believe SHH had mentioned that several state groups had visited the campus, including one that did an inspection of the kitchen.  Were any of these state groups actually inspecting the entire facility, and were their visits known ahead of time?  I would think surprise visits would be the most effective.

Also, this is a question that most people may not know the answer to: is the owner of the school politically affiliated?  Just wondering, if they have been able to avoid proper licensure for so long, if they might have someone helping them out with that.

Anyone who could help, I'd appreciate it.  I just asked SHH because I saw on one of her posts that she used to work there and I figured she might have some knowledge.

I wouldn't rely on Suzanne for answers. She knows very little about the program, but is very passionate about defending it, sometimes to a fault. If she knew there were political connections she wouldn't tell you.

They recently received a commendation from a Sen Jackson, and shortly after made donations to her campaign for Sec of State.
http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2003 ... /sr966.htm (http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2003_04/fulltext/sr966.htm)

I tend not to think that political connections explains the license issue. Their wilderness program-Ridge Creek- was required to apply for a license after they were reported to the state for operating without one. They are now licensed as a Therapeutic Camp and monitored by ORS, although, they have not had an inspection since they were licensed, which is very odd.

They 'apparently' convinced ORS that HLA is a traditonal boarding school. Therefore, there is no outside entity monitoring the therapeutic aspect of the program. They clearly meet the definition of a RCF, as defined by ORS
http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?to ... rt=0#97854 (http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?topic=9303&forum=41&start=0#97854)

Any public business with a kitchen is subject to inspections by the Health Dept. It's reasonable to assume they are also subject to fire and safety inspections, but not certain because at least some of the dorm windows are locked which could be a fire safety hazard, and probably not allowed.

Suzanne has claimed before that they are licensed and inspected. Clearly she doesn't understand the difference between licensed and accredited. And, a 'business' license is not the same as being licensed by ORS.

Yes windows are locked to prevent runaways and visits by students of the opposite sex. However, every dorm has a night security person and if there were a fire they would open all fire escape exits. There is no safety violation in that regard.

does that mean the locked windows would be opened? what if the fire is between the bedroom and the door?
if that's accurate, it's pretty lax, as my state requires child caring institutions to have two exits from each room. and if the second is a window, it must open from the inside.
did the fire inspector notice the windows were locked? i guess i should first ask if they even have fire inspections.

since there's a nightwatch person, how could the opposite sex sneak in without them knowing?  wouldn't an alarm system be safer? can't miss an alarm when a window is opened. windows/doors locked. doesn't that exemplify a lockdown?

Hey.  SHH, or Suzanne, knows just about nothing concerning HLA.  She did work for HLA, yes, but she worked from home as a part-time envelope stuffer sending progress reports to parents and probation officers (further proof that they do take mandated kids).

I wouldn't put much stock in any of her comments.  She is an irrational, dogged supporter of HLA because she was married to the business manager and her parents worked there as auxiliary staff.

About "state visits":  No, there are never surprise visits.  They have never been inspected by ORS.  They were inspected by their academic accrediting agency which has no authority regarding their "therapeutic" program.  

It is interesting to note that they are in current violation of their academic accrediting agency's rules, most especially concerning student rights.  One major violation is that HLA has never put in place the required person through whom violations and abuse may be reported.  The kids simply have no way to report any abuses.  They can't use a phone, they can't leave the campus and reporting abuses to HLA staff results in punishment, not reportage.

Since no surprise visits are allowed it is quite astonishing that they managed to fail a health inspection.  Staff members have reported swarms of flies in the kitchen and maggots in the food.

The owner of the school is very well politically connected, yes.  It has been posted on this site that he and his associates donated quite heavily to politicians with sway in the oversight process.  

Also, just a quick comment about locked windows and fire exits.  That is completely, 100% illegal.  They must, as required by law, provide two exits from every room, neither of which may be locked at any time.

Imagine, if you will, a building engulfed in flames with children locked inside and a "night watchman" charging into the burning building to unlock the emergency exits.  Sounds pretty suspect.  Not to mention that at that point, it's too late anyway.  Obviously, this doesn't even pass the smell test.

Please read the HLA threads and use the search feature in the left-hand margin to look for specifics.  You will have to read around the flaming, distractions, diversions, digressions and dissembling posted by HLA staff.  It is always their intention to steer the dialogue into the realm of meaninglessness, thusly frustrating efforts of parents to discover the truth about HLA.

Good luck.  If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a PM using the private messaging feature in the laeft-hand margin.

"Excellent point"?  I'm sorry, but did you recently take a severe blow to the head?

One, it's illegal to lock any emergency exits ever.  That's why they're called "emergency" exits.

Two, there is no legal basis whatsoever to keep a kid locked up on campus.  Unless they are mandated by the court to be there, they are free to leave at any time.  This is called "false imprisonment" and it's a serious crime.

Three, with a night watch person on duty, how in the world can any kids sneak into anyone else's room or building?  Are you saying that these people don't do their jobs or that there aren't enough of them?

Honestly, people, some of the things you say are so incredibly stupid and irresponsible that you are killing your own business by posting.

In that case, no, they wouldn't.  But neither would they move into the fire to unlock doors.  That's just a retarded notion.

Might I ask, if they're already inside the building, how can kids sneak in or out?  Are the night staff blind and deaf?  Sleeping?  Screwing off?

You are incorrect. They are not free to leave at any time. They are sent there by their parents. If they leave campus without their parents consent, they are considered running away, and if they are under a certain age based on state law, they are the ones breaking the law. That is the very reason the police are called when a student leaves campus.

That's fine.  Then you call the police.  You, as an ACADEMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, are prevented by law from having legal custody.  Look at your own accrediting agency as well.  They state clearly that you may not take legal custody of children.

Since you cannot legally have parental rights and you are supposedly an academic boarding school without a license to provide RTC services (in which case you could hold kids against their will), you, as in HLA staff, cannot imprison any of your charges against their will.  All you can do is let them leave and call the police.

I assure you though, that I will be reporting your statements to SACS-CASI as well as ORS.  Thank you for the valualble information you have provided.

The SCHOOL is not allowed, by law, to force a kid to stay on campus.  They can call the police and let the police act as they see fit, but HLA is barred BY LAW from locking any kids in or preventing them from leaving.

From your idiotic reasoning, a supermarket could lock a kid inside just because the parents "brought them there."

Because they legally operate as traditional boarding school they are not allowed to prevent anyone from leaving at any time.  That's the law, no matter what you have to say about it.

HLA is not licensed as an RTC and is therefore prevented from legally prohibiting any kid from walking off campus.  If they do, it is unlawful imprisonment.

You're pretty dense.

It's well known that they can't 'leave when they want to'. Some have reported being restrained for attempting to do so. They are 'patient'.

I could be wrong, but I've never heard of a Traditional Boarding School behaving that way.
At traditional schools, students are free to come and go. If someone is missing, I'd guess they call the parents first and might put out an APB if foul play is expected.

Traditional schools also do not force/coerce students to stay past the age of majority.
Traditional schools are not 24 month 'programs' and do not require therapy or round the clock supervision and surviellence. They don't limit contact with family or deny home visit for academic incompletes. To name a few...

Now what again qualifies HLA as a Traditional Boarding School?

Both of you are right.  They are not allowed to leave campus anytime they want to without consequences.  The consequence is that the police will be called.  Staff do not restrain the kids or lock them up so that they will not leave.  If that has ever happened, then the staff were behaving against HLA policy.  According to HLA policy students are to only be restrained if they are hurting themselves, someone else, or are in imenent danger of doing so.  Running away does not fall into this category.

I think when the anon writer says that they are not allowed to, what they mean is that it is against the rules and there will be consequences, such as the police being called and them being put on restrictions.  Even then, the kid can walk away from campus anytime they feel like it.  There will just continue to be more consequences.

Many kids have reported that they do.  Some as recently as this month.  Other staff members have posted in the past three months that kids are restrained.

How about answering those other questions now?

May I also add, that the drug store in particular,

Posted by an employee of HLA:

Posted: 2005-12-18 17:10:00  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Did anybody on this board ever stop to think that perhaps in the early days they didnt do background checks or pre employment drug screens and now they do? I know in the late 90's they did do pre drug screens and random drug testing of employees and those employees who were tested positive were fired on the spot. These comments between individuals may not be lies it may be a matter of when they were there

************************************************

So, no they didnt do any drug testing prior to the "late 90's".

************************************************

Also my earlier comments on the subject:

Posts: 774 Posted: 2005-12-18 18:57:00  

When I was hired I did not get a background check. I was not asked to provide any criminal history. I was not screened for drugs in any way, nor was I asked if I was or ever had been a drug user. The entire time I worked there no drug tests for any employees were given.

There were quite a few surprisingly hard partiers working there. The headmaster at the time was known to have killed a pedestrian in a drunk driving accident. He told all of us, including the kids, how he struck and killed a man walking down the street while driving drunk.

The man in charge of the therapeutic component of the program (the "head clinician") was known to have a fake doctorate from a diploma mill. I know this for a fact, and as much has been admitted by their employees on this board. The same man gave me and another counselor his vehicle to drive a suicidal kid to the hospital. In the glovebox, we discovered, was a loaded handgun.

So, the short answer is "no" they didn't do background checks or drug tests.

Get a grip, people.  Your lame smear tactics are so worn out.  You'll say anything to avoid the real issues.

So, just for the purpose of consistency...  Please post the drug test results from the non-existent test that you falsely claim was performed and that you claim I failed.  The BS goes on and on and on...

Dolores are you ever going to tell us that story or was that just another one of your stupid pointless comments?

Also I was glad to see our current puppet has claimed he/she is not an employee at HLA only after Dysfunction stated he would be reporting the comments made to ORS.

So puppet the question remains if you are not an employee how are you able to comment on the school?

Yeah, sure you were.  More bologna.  Funny how all the staff members who have posted say that they didn't do drug testing until the late 90's.

Come on, ShortBus.  This is so tedious.

Not only did they not test staff, they didn't test patients.  They didn't even test you guys for drugs on intake or after visits until just a few years ago.

Despite what you are trying to do here, the fact remains that not only did they not test when I worked there, I got a positive response and a reccommendation for hire from HLA when I took my next job.  

In my current job I have security clearance to work on information systems on military bases.  They've done a thorough vetting of my background including receiving information from all of my employers in the past 12 years.  There is no firing and there is no failed drug test.  So please, give it a rest already.

I have the sinkng suspicion that you'd fail a drug test right now, even if you studied.

All this smearing and innuendo is just garbage thrown out there to avoid the real topics of discussion.

In 1995 the administration was saying that random drug testing would begin immediately due to the fact that a couple of counselors were caught with drugs after the kids broke into their cars ("looking for cigarettes" they said) and found and smoked their stashes of marijuana.

Apparently they didn't get around to testing anyone for a couple more years.

The person who said they were tested in '95 was not there in '95 or is not being quite honest when they say testing was performed.

Were you given a pre-employment drug test and random testing or just one or the other?  Do you know when the testing started (and don't say 1995, because everyone who worked there then knows that's just not true)?  Other staff members heve stated "late 90's."

Were you given a criminal background check?  Did you submit fingerprints?

None of this was being done in 1995.

BTW, you and the person who claims to have been tested in '95 are posting from the same IP address.  I just verified that.

So, was it you claiming you were tested in '95 and '97 while pretending to be different people or do you just share a computer with the other poster?

When in 1995?

When did you start working there?

Was your drug test in response to some sort of incident or a random test or a pre-employment screen?

Damn some of you really dont have anything to do during the day do you...not that I care what Robert or Dysfunction think of me because I don't. But not every anonymous post was mine, and some of them that you say are, arent either. The issue over whether drug testing was done in 95..that was that ABC person...and Dysfunction said that was me...and it wasnt, wasnt even from the same IP addresses. But, have your fun, I find it slightly bizarre the obsession over only my posts, but whatever, its not that important to me anyway. If you wanna use me for the punching bag go ahead...Ive got more important things to worry about then this.

No you don't.  That's why you've been on here for the last year stalking these guys in every forum they post in.  Posting up petty little lies to try undermine the credibility of others.

Instead, what you have accomplished is the complete demolition of your very own credibility and that of the facility you represent.  

Now you're doing damage control.  Alas, it's too late for that.  The horse has left the barn.  The genie is out of the bottle, etc., etc., etc.

Why does HLA allegedly allow people to work there after they've had sex with their minor patients?

Or why does HLA take court ordered kids but lie to parents and say they don't?

Or how exactly does HLA cure homosexuality?

Or how does millieu control benefit children?

Or why does HLA illegally use forced labor to improve the campus as punishment?

Or why does HLA strip search children when they tell parents they don't?

Or why does HLA use confrontation and call it group therapy?

Or why does HLA not have a contact for grievances in violation of its accreditation?

Or why does HLA use Lifespring large group awareness seminars that have been completely discredited over twenty years ago?

Or what are your credentials to comment on HLA's program or policy?

Or why does HLA illegally accept children in violation of the ICPC?

Aside from the ultimate bad outcome, how closely do you stay in touch w/ former students? Did you really love them? Or did you just take in the compulsory accolades and call it love? A few kids say you where real. Did you really pay attention?

Finally some element of truth comes out of your mouth. You admit youre scared. Praise God Bullfrog were making progress.

Now Im interested in this "grapevine" you speak of. See earlier you claimed you dont talk to anyone from HLA anymore other than your ex, and you dont discuss matters concerning the school with him.

So which is it?

Oh Im very important you silly slob. Again though Im glad to see you can acknowledge your fear of me and apparently the boogeyman.

Now explain to me how a person such as yourself with no social skills and zero friends could ever have such a grape vine. Espically considering there are no employees in this said grapevine and there are very few people left from your time there to speak with or their spouses. This is due to the fact that there is massive turnover at this place as has been illustrated here and now.

So again explain yourself. Oh and go answer those questions or provide the ones you claim youve already answered.

Not all of the people that have left have been mentioned on this board.  It is actually more like nine people who have left out of about 135 employees. That is almost 7% of the staff leaving in a two to three week period.  I call that significant.

Nobody's assuming anything.  I've heard as many as nine employees have left in the past month, none of whom have been replaced, i.e. no new hires to fill their spots.

Which ones do you know of that were fired?  Quit?  Fired or Quit for what reasons?

If you know their motives aren't the same, then it stands to reason that you know what their motives are, correct?  I'd like to know what you've been told about WHY people are leaving.

There have been at least two teachers and four counselors that I know of for sure in the past month and I've heard about two other staffers, about whom I do not yet know the details.

Juni, who have you heard of specifically?

I have been told That Johnny Lott is being "squeezed" out.  Other staff have reported that people's schedules are being radically altered without notice.  

In my own experience, this schedule changing or "reassignment of duties" is used as the veiled way of saying "Quit now while the quitting is good."  Looks like it's happening to Mr. Lott and to some of the non-clinical staff like the recreations people.

if there were a fire they would open all fire escape exits.>>>



does that mean the locked windows would be opened? what if the fire is between the bedroom and the door?

if that's accurate, it's pretty lax, as my state requires child caring institutions to have two exits from each room. and if the second is a window, it must open from the inside.

did the fire inspector notice the windows were locked? i guess i should first ask if they even have fire inspections.



since there's a nightwatch person, how could the opposite sex sneak in without them knowing?  wouldn't an alarm system be safer? can't miss an alarm when a window is opened. windows/doors locked. doesn't that exemplify a lockdown?
