Most of them have no idea what is going on there,
sadly..."

Yeah and look at their retention rate.

"Parents that send their children to HLA are no different than parents that send their children to other TBS? schools...Parents are distraught,dis-allusioned, their entire family and world is collapsing and they have exhausted every other avenue...Some are told by their childs psychiatrist, psycho-therapist to 'move'
immediately, as their child is in danger of
himself/herself..Some don't even read the contracts they are so distraught..They just want a safe haven for their child, one that they could not provide...In walks a place like HLA..
There are parents that I have spoken to that
are aware of what is going on there, but feel
they have no choice...Others just want them out of their house...others are buying into the
apparent misrepresentations of HLA...They are not sitting around waiting for "a lawsuit to
happen", that is a ridiculous notion..
Credibility, integrity , it won't win a lawsuit....As Buccellato, it all has to do with money....No one in their right mind would
take this kind of suit, unless it is winnable..
There is so much of a mess at HLA, one has to chose which avenue,if any, is tangible...
Any firm is contacted will take weeks, maybe months to research and determine the cases viablilty...So, don't hold our breath...But, it is never over until the fat lady sings, and she hasn't started humming yet...There are good people that seek justice, righting the wrongs,
it just may have to come in different ways other than a lawsuit..There are several other venues..
and, trust me, they are being exhausted..."

I think this is referring to exhausting the legal process. The fat lady isn't even humming on that one. There are many avenues to explore and they're all being looked at.

I believe you if you say it, but you have to realize that you are losing credibility with those that read this site. People that make decisions to send kids to HLA are starting to think you are all blowing smoke and that nothing is going to happen. I don't offer this to start a fight, I offer this to give you a clearer picture of how your opposition is viewing you."

You know for all the bluster here about the "dangers" of HLA, all the risky practices, somebody's going to get a wrong pill under the new plan, and so on, I don't hear about anyone being injured or dying.
Compare this to the chance that a oppositional kid who is acting out in self-destructive ways is likely hurt him or herself. Like with drugs or risky or criminal behaviors. Not to mention the impact on future possibilities of school and work success.
You have to face the facts. Kids who get on a certain path do very destructive things to themselves and others. They can end up in jail, in the hospital, with a ruined school life, alienated from all positive avenues.
Sometimes parents have tried all the obvious local possible solutions but the kid is just in a place where communication isn't going to work for a while. And sometimes "a while" is too long.
I'm betting that parents who get that call from the jail, hospital etc, are likely to wish that they had tried a more restrictive approach. And if all other options have been tried what's so terrible about placing a minor in a boarding school?
Vis a vis the hysteria du jour: so what if the receptionist hands out medication, it's medical personnel who have diagnosed and prescribed. All over America, parents dispense meds to their kids without having medical training themselves, why shouldn't a receptionist or other non-medical person be able to learn to do the same? Pretty small risk compared to what the kid could be doing on the outside.

You know for all the reality here about the serious dangers of HLA, the repeated abuse, somebody's going to get killed by the uncaring, sadistic staff, and so on, I feel it necessary to spew typical programmie bullshit.
I have no idea whatsoever why kids act the way they do and feel it necessary to pigeonhole as many of them as possible, to fuel my fragile ego. Similarly, I'm locked into the must-destroy-bad-kids'-lives mindset and feel it necessary to slander them as much as I can. Their success means nothing whatsoever; only my program's bottom line matters to me.
You have to face the facts. Kids who get in HLA face a hopeless path of ruin and despair as we crush their little lives with glee. We take away the possibility that they'll end up in jail, because we are a jail, but everything else, including hospitalization and death, is possible. Likely, even.
Sometimes parents have completely ignored all alternatives, including the "Better things to do with $2000" thread on the Troubled Teen Industry board on Fornits, and so the kid will be in a place where communication is impossible. Hahahaha! I love abusing children! *jerks off*
I'm betting that parents who get that call from the hospital are likely to wish that they had tried a less restrictive approach. I have absolutely no idea what the difference is between an abuse camp and an actual boarding school is. Kill me now.
I'm going to end this post by reiterating more mindless nonsense about how your kids are AT RISK RIGHT NOW OMG and need to be put in an ABUSE CAMP BEFORE THEY KILL THEMSELVES!!!one!!1!
Did I mention that I need to die? I do, y'know."
