Anonymous:
Does anyone out there have a list of those Ed. Cons referring to HLA, partial or otherwise?
It is not so easy, remember we are fighting a
billion dollar industry...a "connected" one at that.

just recommended one of these schools that has been under investigation...I gavemy friend the
synopsis of the place recommended, she printed out horrific things about the school, not licensed, and took it in, to call her on it..THe
counselor did't say a word...no apology..She did say,"none of these places are very good"...The counselor never even checked the stats on the place...The counselor asked to keep the papers..
just amazing...totally negligent...Just as those Ed.Cons that unknowingly refer to HLA...Those that are aware of HLA's 'secrets' are worse..

Unfortunately, this is an all-too-familiar scenario.
I'll give you the short answer. The Ed Cons bear no legal responsibility for referring to abusive programs. The parents sign the contracts and the rule is "caveat emptor."
Bad advice is just that - bad advice. It happens all the time and it's up to us, as consumers, to make the final judgement about which goods or services we will purchase.
The problem is the uneducated, gullible consumer - the ones often referred to here as "sheep." The sheep combined with slick marketing schemes function to keep the demand curve of of these facilities perfectly inelastic.
That is, their price never changes relative to consumer demand. They need not lower price to induce consumption of their product because sheep are easily fleeced and there's plenty of them (i.e. demand consistently outstrips supply - which is why these places are springing up all over the place).

I am not one to typically defend what is written on this site, but this story is not fully true. This incident was reported to the police and there was a full police investigation. Reports that they were not let in are not accurate.
In this incident there were two very disturbed young ladies involved. The victim did not do all of it to herself, but did ask the other girl to do it to her so that she could claim that she was raped and get pulled from the school. The perpertrator was kept at the school for another month, but was not allowed to be around the other students. HLA went to great lengths to find an appropriate placement for her instead of just dumping her back onto her family, who was in no way able to care for her at the time. The family was actually very appreciative of this.
Should these girls have even been at HLA in the first place? No. Were they removed when that fact was made evident? Yes.

Right. Who are we going to believe the people who resigned as a result of this or you?
Some clown who wont even acknowledge his connection to HLA.
