Please, PLEASE go get your child. I am new to this site, but what I have read about HLA so far is overwhelmingly negative. Do not ignore your gut instinct - if it feels wrong, then it's wrong. I agree that behavioral management is not an effective way to help a child. Anyone with basic knowledge of psychology would agree.
From what I hear, the school officials will do everything in their power to keep you from taking your child, but you are the legal guardian and have more rights than they do.

Just go upthere unannounced and tell them to go get your kid and ALL of his belongings and his file.
If you encounter any resistance whatsoever to your demands, call the police immediately. They cannot refuse to let you take your son or to give you all of his belongings and records before you leave.
There is absolutely nothing they can do to stop you. If they try they will be arrested for falsely imprisoning your child. They know this and will immediately fold if you tell them you are calling the police.

"My problem with disclosing that information is that if any one at HLA is monitoring this site they may be able to figure out who my child is and I don't want them to be punished because I'm speaking out about my concerns. I just want to know if anyone has had any positive experiences. I tried the link to struggling teens but was unable to locate any positive reports other than the campus visit."

It sounds like you are a new parent to HLA, so there are several kids in your childs Peer Group. They would likely not be able to figure out who you are. Even so, HLA does not mind at all any parent asking questions. I would advise you to take the advise of the person who said to show up unannounced, if you have that many concerns. Ask to meet alone with your child, there will be no problem with that. Ask to meet alone with your childs counselors. There will no problem with that. Ask to meet with other students who have been their for a while. There will be no problem with that.
If you have any discreptancies between what your child is saying and what the staff are saying then I would suggest a meeting with everyone together to clear the air.

I'd be willing to bet that these kids will be put into group this week and squeezed hard to rat on eachother so that the staff can find out who's been "manipulating" their parents. Once they single out the kid they suspect the punishment will be swift and decisive. I personally have seen this many times.
You are correct in assuming that they will punish your child for your concern.

how old are the kids there?
