Hi everyone....
I have a half-brother at HLA. I will not say anymore about his id in case some from HLA monitor these boards. I want to help fight these people. I had a bad feeling about this place...and I hate it when I am right (I tend to be a Cassandra about impending disaster and the like).
His mom is a well-meaning, but out of her depth parent who isn't dealing well with her own issues regarding a messy divorce with my father...who did more to screw my brother up than anything else. And yeah...some damn Ed Con talked her into it..even had my wife convinced. But now...with Ranger School grads (wearing Army green does not make you qualified to work with troubled teens who have enough trust and adjustment issues) and "Andersonville-Lite" for the kiddies, it's enough to make me see red. I want to help. I may be in NYC, but these folks have made war on my family by selling them a pack of lies, and I intend to see it through by seeing this place be brought down.
Tours l'Audace people!"

That's better.

Welcome.

Have you been allowed any contact with your brother?

My son was in the second group to attend Ridge Creek when they were unlicensed and the staff was predominantly Mt Rangers. While there are still some remaining, there aren't near as many as in the beginning. None had experience working with children and seemed to enjoy restraining them at every opportunity. There's more on the topic here if you're interested.

HLA does monitor this forum on a regular basis.

So far, little.
 They fowarded one of the three emails I have sent. I have spoken more to him on the phone during his breaks, of which he has had two. He has described many of the same incidents that have been mentioned on these boards. He's the one who told ME about these boards.
 I am not surprised HLA monitors these boards...wonder what they have to hide really? And I keep hearing how anything he attempts to say to me in any communication is "manipulative"...Glad to hear that the Rangers are not there as much any more, but the lack of a Nurse does concern me, as does the punitive use of food.

Deborah:
Are they still limiting calories for kids on restriction?

I didn't get to ask him about that, but he did tell me he was almost beaten up by several of his bunkies and the staff was indifferent after he reported it. He also mentioned stripsearches as well and academics being "really easy".
 He pointed me to the HEAL website, and said he'd either heard of, or had much of the following happen to him personally. What worried me the most was the communication, or lack therof. That's what got me doing the research, especially today when he called.
