Bucie has sent a letter to a bunch of EdCons all over the country inviting them to visit HLA within the next few weeks.   Guess he wants to show them that they shouldn't believe all the  big, bad rumors they've been hearing.

Also, the HLA now has an official Director of Public Relations listed on the website.  Hmmmm.....

Doesn't damage control usually fall to SHH?


SHH - Where are you?  We're curious for some of that "confirmation" you're able to run and get whenever you see a post that worries you.  Is Bill really leaving?  Is it true?

Truth is no longer at HLA.  I'm in touch and will provide any relevent updates.

As far as DAMAGE CONTROL goes, the new PR person is going to replace Nicole Fulsgang, who's ass is reportedly still red and sore due to the out-and-out SPANKING she received at the hands of Clarke Poole.

Her credibility is shattered and she's being pulled from the job.

She's the one who had the contentious email exchanges with Clarke Poole.  

In the emails, she was caught red-handed in several BIG lies about HLA and its residents and was busted by Mr. Poole, with supporting evidence obtained from Bill Gray (you see the tangled web).  Clarke basically called her a liar and gave evidence he got from Bill to show it and then sent all that info to the EdCons.

Clarke sent those emails to about 25 EdCons who do business with HLA.  Subsequently, one or more of those EdCons distributed the emails to their ENTIRE CONTACT LIST of EdCons (in and out of HLA's network).  That has the boss in an absolute UPROAR and has them in full-time damage control mode.  

This is why Nicole is getting moved.  She was dumb enough to put serious, private business in uncontrolled documents.  Live and learn, Nicole.

I don't know if she's been shitcanned or just silenced.

Maybe someone else who has received them could post 'em?  I haven't yet because I'm allergic to process servers.

I have no doubts that they'll be made available at some point.  Once I see them posted somewhere else or get direct confirmation from someone else who has received them, I'll post them here.

BTW, has anyone posted these developments on ST?

Hi there-  

I hear and understand that a number of you folks have concerns.  I hope we can remember that these staff are human beings who have helped many families positively and have chosen their jobs for that reason.  I am really surprised at some of the remarks I?ve seen on here about staff.  Having had a child at HLA, I have worked with Ms. Fuglsang and can say she is a reliable and honest individual who puts her heart into her work with these kids.  I truly trusted her to follow through and care for my child.  She helped us so very much.  I think that having to accept that your child and family need help is the hardest thing a parent can do.  Accepting help from another adult with our child was painful for me.  Each of us deals with is differently, and has to learn to cope with the feelings it brings up- for me it was shame, hurt, and honestly, desperation that I wasn?t able to fix the situation myself.  Let?s face it, Dr. Spock doesn?t cover everything!  I can honestly say that in our situation, trusting in the process and staying engaged allowed us to grow tremendously as a family.  

I am thankful Ms. Fuglsang was a part of that process- she was able to help us through in a time when we questioned if we could.  

I wish each of you the best with your families.

Really?  Wow.  How well could you possibly have known her?  Some of her collegues who know her very well consider her to be an unmitigated liar. Many  Educational Consultants hold the same view after she was caught in bald-faced lies regarding patient care and placement in email exchanges that were released publicly by a collegue.

I think the point that you're missing is that this type of prevarication damnages patient care.  HLA is, in fact, according to several of its employees, a DANGEROUS environment where little consideration is given to the appropriateness of a resident's placement and a premium is placed on the family's ability to pay the tuition.

Some employees have recently raised concerns about what type of patient is accepted for treatment there.  Apparently there have been several adolescents accepted by Nicole and Len that were completely inappropriate for the environment.  These placements reportedly led directly to at least two serious instances of physical assault and one incident involving the brutal sexual battery of a female resident that caused damage so severe to her pelvic region that she required hospitalization for her injuries.

These incidents transpired as a DIRECT RESULT of the incompetence of staff members who you view as "caring."  I am sorry to say that your perception of events is greatly skewed.

Im not a liar like you Bullfrog.

Now the point was made that you ask us to respect your wishes when youve done nothing of the kind. Youre obviously still interested in what we have to say on here and just when exactly that hammer is going to drop (rest assured very very soon), so the question to you remains.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem)
An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin, literally "argument against the person") or attacking the messenger, is a logical fallacy that involves replying to an argument or assertion by attacking the person presenting the argument or assertion rather than the argument itself. However, not all attacks against the person involve fallacious reasoning (see Validity below).

Are you an employee of HLA?

I wonder if maybe you haven't concerned yourself only with BS bickering rather than engaging yourself in real debate about the efficacy of HLA's program.  I certainly will give you counterpoints if only you had something to say.

As far as anyone outside our "deranged little circle" caring about what we say here, how could you possibly know this?  You are obviously not plugged in or you would know that Fornits has a dedicated following right on HLA's campus.  You'd know that the kids sneak peeks whenever possible and always make contact while on home visits.

Now aside from that particular reference, there are, of course, many people involved with us.  Stick around for a few weeks and I promise you you'll eat those words.

You're not likely to get a meaningful answer here.  There is a plan in place at HLA, initiated by management, to direct employees to this site to "flood" it so that it becomes unusable.

Well, lmnop (or abc123 - whatever you like to call yourself today), it's not going to work.  We're already hip to the plan and if need be can take measures to disable your ability to post such as banning the IP address all of you use to post (your HLA static IP address) or simply delete your posts for "spamming."

As an aside, since you all are not technically savvy, you should realize a couple of things.  One, I know your IP address.  Two, your entire LAN can be crippled quite easily to the point where you can't recover it, especially without the aid of your recently departed network administrator.

I don't think we should ban them.  I mean they're making themselves look beyond stupid.  Any reader that sees how LMNOP has conducted themselves since registering can see that they've got absolutely nothing to say so they resort to the ad hominems.  It's really kind of amusing.  If they really had anything to refute what we've said, they'd do it.  But they don't so they can't.  Funny when you think about it.

Lets take a page from HLA and do a little role playing.

I'm a random person who might have a child at HLA or is considering sending my child there.

Here I find multiple people who dont know each other and come from different time periods all saying the same thing.

I see people making claims against HLA and providing either proof or the means in which to prove the claims.

I also see people like you who come on here discount all claims but;

A. Don't offer any proof on the matter.

B. Aren't even willing to discuss the specific aspects of problems with the school.

C. Inevitably resorting to ad hominenum attacks and refuse to answer any real questions.

.......

Wow youre right lollipop you sure showed us.

I am curious though, are you claiming that while we are biased you are not?

I haven't threatened anybody.  I just said flood this board and see what happens.  Turnabout is fair play, no?  

And yes, I do get "juicy inside information."  I'd hazzard a guess that I know a hell of a lot more about what's going on there than you do.

Oh, wait...that's your usual m.o. ...that you know more that anyone..right?  Oh, okay.

Here's something I'm willing to share...enrollment is higher now than in a long time.  

Hmmm, I guess that is partly due to the negative press you give HLA.  People are more willing to really check it out and see that it is a positive option for many families.

Hey, you just carry on as usual.  I really don't care.

You will see enrollment down - way down.  Wait a while.

Like I said, sharpen up that resume and get your reference letters in order.

And, no, I don't know more than everyone.  I just know more than you, as is evidenced by your comments.  You are clearly just a plebe there and are not privy to the information that I am.

In any case, that will al be immaterial very soon.  In the meantime, is there some specific aspects of HLA you'd like to discuss?  What are your qualifications to engage in debate over therapeutic programming?  I'd be glad to debate you any time about your program.

So let's try to talk about substantive facts for a while.  Do you have anything to add to the discussion or are you here just to bash children who've been through your program?

That might be the case except for the fact that we back up our claims, whereas you all just avoid the issues.

So I guess we have more credibility than you afterall.

Now why are you asking me what peer group I was in? I thought you knew all about me. Remember you claimed just yesterday that I didnt have a job and I lived in Florida.

Figuring out what peer group I was in should be a piece of cake. If youre stumped though just ask Mrs. Gray, shed be happy to take a look at confidential files for you and have a guess.

Careful what you wish for, cause youre really going to get it this time. I find it interesting that youre crying about us calling you names and saying we will refute anything you have to offer. Lollipop you havent made a whole lot of claims yet. All you keep saying is were wrong about....stuff. Not alot of specifics coming from your end.

That's my take on it too. Going further, even the founders and long term higher ups are deluded in these places. That's what makes them so damned dangerous. Let's not forget what they did to OverLordd.

Basically, they went after this really clean cut kid, the epitome of Good Kid®, asif he were some kind of dangerous criminal. All the kid did was to 'threaten' to go take some snap shots of the campus.

Why in the world would they act that way? There's only one reason I can think of, and it happens to be perfectly consistent with all of my experience w/ Synanon based cults. Because they view the world as being starkly devided between "Us" and "Them". That's how things always get so incredibly corrupted. They don't listen to valid criticism, never see their failures, can't tolerate even the suggestion that what they're doing is harmful. Instead, they attack and silence critics.

Here's the part most people who didn't grow up in one of these cults often miss. They do the same thing to themselves, in their own heads and in their own families.

Watch the Martin Lee Anderson snuff flick and take note of a couple of things. One, there's the demeanor of ALL of the staff present on the scene, including the camera guy. Camera guy dutifully keeps the scene properly framed. Was he trying to generate damning evidence against them? Probably not. More likely he was just like the rest of the staff, he didn't see anything wrong with what he was filming.

I'm not saying this to excuse what goes on in these places or the people who make it happen. Far from it. I'm saying this so that maybe people will look at ppl like Bill Grey, Rudy Bentz, Len Buchelato(sp?) and all the rest as real live, terminally flawed human beings who have gone wrong.

You can't punish them out of this shit. All you can hope for is that enough of them will see the error of their ways and seek to make amends.
