HLA SECRETS - PART II
Troll Control:
Just for the record, I didn't post this, so don't bother sending me demand letters.
I would like to confirm though, that this is verbatim what I have read and what was sent to Ed Cons (and I think some parents, too).
This is an extremely valuable reference for parents to read. The policies are hideous. The treatment a professional receives for doing the right thing by the children is appalling.
HLA and anyone who does business with them (including sending your child there) should be ashamed. This is tragic and, unfortunately, not isolated. This just happens to be public, but this episode has been run before - only the evidence was successfully repressed by SLAPP suits and "confidentiality agreements."
Wake up, people.

Thank you to whoever posted that information. Slowly but surely the picture is becoming clear.
Who was the psychiatrist and when did that happen?

--- Quote ---I believe this deceptive process which HLA had chosen is highly unethical and clearly is not in the student's or parent's best interest in any way.

Are they going to pull a "Clarke Poole" on this therapist, too?
The normal course of action is to sue the ever-lovin'-hell out of anyone who tries to carry out their duties professionally and ethically.
How many carreer professionals need to educate the public before people stop buying this product? These are not isolated incidents, parents. Events like this don't happen in a vacuum.
Troll Control:
I was called a liar and other viscious epithets when I reported that these events transpired. HLA staffers flooded this site with lies and insults, but, once again, I was right on the money with this information.
Every thing I have said about these incidents has been objectively and factually verified. Obviously the sources at HLA who "leak" this information are far more credible that the management who consistently denies that these events ever happened.
--- Quote ---Jane Doe 1) had trouble here from the beginning, with most of her incidents involving violence. Finally, she was complicit in an elopement that culminated in the physical, and, by all indications, sexual assault on another student who was hospitalized for several days due to her physical injuries, especially internal injuries in the pelvic area. Then, rather than being dismissed immediately, she remained enrolled here for another month. The educational consultant who referred her to Hidden Lake was (Consultant 1).
(John Doe 1) came here with a very troubling history and equally troubling psychological evaluation. He was constantly involved in trouble including physical assaults on other students. He finally attacked and threatened to kill another student and the on-call clinical staff was called to evaluate him. She determined he was not only sincere but determined to actually try to kill the other student, and signed the order to have him committed to a psychiatric hospital. He did not return to Hidden Lake. The educational consultant who referred him to Hidden Lake was its owner, Len Buccellato.
Finally, we have (John Doe 2). Why in the name of Heaven this boy was ever even considered for admission to Hidden Lake is beyond me. He should have been in a padded cell in a psychiatric prison, and we knew it going in. It's difficult to distinguish his psychological evaluation, which was done by Len Buccellato and Brad Carpenter, from that of Hannibal Lecter's. Yet, in spite of first hand knowledge that this boy was not only totally inappropriate but dangerous, he was approved for admission and attended for a full year, interspersed with hospitalizations, until withdrawn by his parents. The educational consultant who referred him to Hidden Lake was (Consultant 2).

If you want to know how this place operates, just follow the money. It all becomes quite clear at that point.
We are beyond denials now. Why won't HLA offer a credible explanation for these egregious unprofessional behaviors?

Because it's much easier to try and deflect the attention away from the real issues. They have no credible answers so they attack you and anyone else that doesn't give glowing testimonials for HLA. What else do they have? The facts are coming to light and proving DJ and the others to be spot on and that sends them into panic mode and damage control.
