Troll Control:
I believe they tell parents "13-17" but I have seen several as young as 12 and many are forced by court order to stay past 18 as "post grads."
HLA encourages parents to have their kids declared "incompetent" before they reach 18 so they may be forced by court order to remain there. Of course, the tuition collection never stops.

Your flags have gone up...Do not meet with
them. Go get your child. Once you meet with
them they will know your intentions. THey will
'grill' your child to find out what your
child said to you...Your childs' life will be
miserable after that. Far more miserable than it is now. Trust me...Then go see an attorney,
because they will not refund your money..However,
before that, take your child to a reputable
therapist for evaluation. Your child will need it,more than before..trust me.Also, if you are
not emotionally strong enough, take your attorney. It will expedite things along and make
it far easier on you...YOur heart is heavy enough.
juniper2:
Listen to your child...only you can really hear
them...trust that, too. It is enate...trust their voice.
Antigen:
I agree with the general feedback so far. Don't ask for a damned thing. You are the customer wrt HLA and wrt your son, well he's your son. On top of legal authority, you have the ultimate God given authority to take him out for ice cream any damned time you please.
Don't accept just a talk, don't buy into any bullshit about breaking the magical spell by removing him from the sacred, hallowed and well guarded ground of HLA. Take him to see Ruby Falls or the Chattanooga Choo Choo or the Atlanta Underground. Demonstrate to him that you can and will remove him from the place, hear what he's got to say and BELIEVE him.
If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs,
you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors,
shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general
nature, in spite of individual exceptions.

Also, post on http://www.strugglingteens.com in the program section for information from other parents who CURRENTLY or RECENTLY have kids at HLA. The people on this board are living in the past- and a fantast past, at that."
