Parents and the Lies HLA Told Us
Troll Control:
Let's get back to that list. Which of these items (or others) were you told that proved to be untrue?
Did they tell you, perhaps, that they don't accept court-ordered kids?
That they don't strip search?
That they have never had incidents where staff members had sex with minors under their care?
That staff members who had sex with minors on campus would be/have been fired?
That the campus is drug free?
That the kids don't have intercourse with one another?
That they follow the guidelines of the accrediting agency?
That they are licensed to provide mental health care?
That they have never had any suicide attempts?
That the patients are supervised around the clock?
That they don't lock the patients inside the dorms at night, including locking widows and emergency exits?
That they don't use forced labor as punishment?
That they follow their own rules regarding sending patients to "wilderness"?
Thanks for staying on topic.

The only difference I can see is that Mcdonalds doesnt come out and say "We dont do Strip searchs" its doesnt appear (from the article) they have addressed or have policy on, where as, according to a previous post (list of things HLA advocates), HLA assures parents that they dont perform strip searchs and then they do it, which is an indication that HLA has a policy of strip searching but are lieing to the parents.
Mcdonalds has a problem with one store manager.
HLA apparently has a systemic problem and is not following their own policy.
HLA should either take a more open approach and define how and when strip searchs are performed and then relay this information openly to the parents (via written policy/procedures) or abandon the practice altogether. Any other way leaves them exposed to litigation in my view.
Antigen:
Did you read the whole article? This went on for something like 9 years. The scam worked in some hundred or more fast food outlets. It's not just a McDonald's problem, it's industry wide.
And what he did seems to me very, very similar to what these programs do. Think about who their staff are and about the authority that long-term inmates have over the new kids. All of these horrible things that keep happening, they happen at the volition and with some manner of approval by the entire student/staff body. More often than not, these kids believe (at least somewhat) that what they're doing or watching w/ nominal approval, is "the right thing"; just like those dumb assed fast food managers who thought they were following the lawful orders of an officer.
I think it's a fascinating story w/ huge implications to this industry.
I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

Once again, it is stated in their parent handbook that HLA does not take court ordered children....HLA does not tell the parents that
the children are to be strip searched..the handbook only states ...drug testing(urine sample)...We are told they will be doing light
chores such as raking, cleaning up during
restrictions. There is nothing relating to carrying rocks and medium boulders around..
It was assumed PT included push-ups,sit- ups,
running,etc.. not what was happening.
It was not a military academy. Power does
strange things to even good people, if one buys
into the system....
