"Has anyone heard of any public reasons why Hidden Lake Academy is downsizing its staff?
Recently they have let go two teachers and a counselor who was just a few weeks shy of "graduating" his peer group (Bill White).
There have been rumors to the effect that HLA has become financially insolvent. There are Ed Cons inquiring about HLA's financial stability and having reservations about placing more kids there. There has been a persistent buzz that one of HLA's major financing sources may be going to cut them off from further funding.
Can anyone shed some light on these issues?

I just checked the website and Bill White's name is still there. Of course, they've been known to keep names of staff on the website who haven't worked there for decades. Anyone know the names of the teachers who have been let go?

I gotta tell ya'll, this is astounding. Back in the day, characters like Art Barker, Steve Cartisano, Joe Ricci, Chuck Dederich and all the rest were getting big bags of money kicked down from NIDA w/ hardly any question. They were all quite hostile to phsychiatry/psychology and other conventional forms of therapy. And they had a few good arguments against them, too. But, in typical form, they took those small grains of truth and used them to justify total isolation. There were no pshrinks or professionally trained social workers or conselors involved in these programs, except as inductees.
As I've learned about the industry as it exists today, I've often wondered about you guys now working in the industry. In the early `80's, under pressure from regulators and the public, they started duping various holders of various non-medical PhD's into fronting for their programs. Dr. Hugh Burns (doctorate in education) was a prime example. Nice guy, as I recall. Totally fucking clueless as to what was going on in the group room when he wasn't there or in the host homes. But more recently, you guys actually work in some capacity directly w/ the kids.
So I've wondered how in thee hell they get licensed, credentialed professionals to play along with their mad games? What do you make of it? How can so many keep so quiet?
It's just nice to see you guys putting your heads together and exposing these sadistic lunatics. Any chance of you guys seeing if you've got some good contacts in the Cinci area? Check out http://cincinnatibeacon.com/ They've got a bad case of tyrannical altruism working there.
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart.

If there's one thing I've learned in my own business experience, it's this: Everyone has their price. If you throw enough green around, you can get just about anyone to say whatever you want them to. For most people this is enough. It's rare, but there are those select few people out there who refuse to be bought. Still, even they have secrets they don't want revealed, just like the rest of us. This leads me to my next point: if you can't bribe someone, you can always blackmail them. I'm quite sure this had something to do with it.

What if the top of the food chain there has been stuffing his own pockets with cash and driving the business into the ground? They can't even secure the funds to build their new gulag because the balance sheet looks so bad.
