If thats true then the unanswered question remains do the students who did suffer under the bad system have a legitimate claim against the school?
Ive been asking this question for a year, its never once been answered.

My guess would be no. There would be too much he said/ she said. Only circumstantial evidence. The claims made on this board may or may not be true, but they would be extremely difficult to prove in a court of law. For every student that was willing to testify against the school, HLA would come up with a student to testify for the school.

There is a statute of limitation for claims against schools or staff. There is also the issue of whether or not the school is liable for what one staff member did. A judge would have to determine whether the staff member is charged or whether the school is responsible. In addition, you have the accuser having the burden of proof.

True but there isnt much question into things like....food rationing....forced labor for hours on end.......isolated for weeks at a time.
Things HLA would have a hard time denying.
Either way Im not asking if it would hold up in court, I'm asking since HLA is complimenting itself on how many positive changes have been made, wouldnt that suggest that someone had to suffer through things prior to the changes being made?
Wouldnt that seem to fit the description of a legitimate complaint?

under civil law there is no burden of proof, only the "preponderance of evidence." you don't have to prove anything and i think that the dozens of abused kids that will make statements/testify would be quite enough to gain a legal victory. it's not as if they don't have a huge insurance policy that will pay the inevitable settlements. hit 'em where it hurts: the wallet.
