Rumor has it that about half a dozen students had a little fun a night or two ago, breaking into a classroom and then the infirmary where they stole various drugs.  I say rumor because that's the only way information is desiminated here.  It is reported to Bucchi, and then revealed to a few inside The Enchanted Circle, who in turn spread it around.  No information is ever made public.  I wonder: is it Best Practices to put all your emphasis and resources into keeping such events top secret rather than trying to find ways to prevent it in the first place?  What a novel idea!  But hey, this is Hidden Lake, where everything - not just the lake - is kept hidden.

One wonders if there is any supervision of kids at this place.  What else is going on besides breakins and drugs being stolen and used?  When will news of the next pregnacy leak out?  The next attempted suicide?  The next ritual beating?  

Keep up the good work, Len.  I've got to admit that so far you've been pretty damn successful at what you're trying to do, which is keep a totally unsafe program run by totally incompetent staff afloat.  Thank God you've got a bunch of venal and immoral ed consultants in your pocket.

eh, it's pretty standard for that kind of stuff to happen. when there is a will, there is a way. kids can be pretty resourcefull. although the majority of the HLA population is of fairly low intelligence, there are always a bunch that always know how to get what they want. and when you put a bunch of kids that have experience in that kind of stuff, they put their heads together and scheme up things they would never be able to do by themselves. HLA feels like a prison, so kids end up in the prison line of thinking. My RCI group managed to raid the supply room, there was a kid that knew every lock's weakness, and we kept getting in no matter how many times they changed the lock. eventually, we just made it seem like we were never even in there, so they stopped changing the locks. between 01-04 there were weekly smoke sessions (weed that is) on the weekends, sometimes even on weekdays in the dorms - get a toilet paper tube, stick some dryer sheets in it, and youre set.  there was lots of tripping too - MG seeds, jimson weed, i just recently found out that there was a kid cultivating kanna one summer. i remember at one point some kid from atlanta even cut a deal with some local to plant a few pot plants not far from the s.a.c. they were never found...by staff that is.

the drug war hasnt stopped millions of americans from lighting up on a daily basis, how do you expect Len to stop kids from doing likewise?

it isn't a rumor, there are hospital records that show that the 5 kids that took the medication that they broke in and stole had od'd since they split about 60 pills between the five of them...amazing no one seized or died...the staff had to practically be forced to get the kids to the hospital...and imagine, the kids were back on campus, NOT ON STAFF ESCORT no charges against them and just as free as birds!! oh and "they" tried to pin the blame on the staff member who had LOCKED HIS PRESCRIBED MEDICATION IN HIS CLASSROOM...

The place is like Fort Knox. Locked dorm windows, alarms on the doors, night watch staff.......... how did this happen?
Headmaster Lindsey, "You can't watch your child 24/7. We can."

And, why does staff store drugs on campus? Shouldn't they be on his person? Does he keep a supply at home and work?

what medication did they take?

because 12 pills aint all that much with certain drugs. you can take a crapload of xanax and be fine, because they make them down to 1/4mg and an adult with no tolerace can take 5mg+/day without serious risk. same goes for say, oxycodone 5mg pills, 12 pills= 60mg which is standard recreational dose. or ritalin 5mgs. i can go on and on.


i bet the staff overreacted with the whole OD thing, it was just about insurance and keeping the image. and of course the kids are back on campus, how would it look to HLA if they had a dozen kids a year get fowarded to the CJ system? no parent would want to put their kid in a place where they are likely to do something which will put them in jail.  just pointing why those kids are still around.

Well, since so many people complained about the locked windows, and ORS watches them now, they probably aren't locked anymore, and I heard through the grapevine that night staff are completely different as far as their duties now, so I am thinking that they weren't being watched very closely at all anymore. Were these medications the staff members personal meds? Was the staff member a teacher or one of the staff that would have a reason to have meds, and how did the kids know they were in that particular room? It does seem like a procedure wasn't followed correctly as far as access to meds, but, on the other hand, where theres a will theres a way, some of these kids have drug issues when they come in so they will do anything to get their hands on some if they figure out a way, unfortunately. Im glad none of them were seriously injured.

I am dismayed and genuinely disappointed that HLA has managed to remain in business despite all the recent legal proceedings against the place.  It seemed that it would really have to close since so many of the students and staff left in droves.  Len Buccellato is an egomaniac with a Napoleon complex - determined to build a "therapeutic evil empire!"

Since my child left HLA, I have discovered many more truly therapeutic programs that I wish we had known about.  Like all parents, we wanted an environment that seemed as "normal" as possible but I realize now that school should have been put aside in favor of intense treatment.
The academics are hit and miss at HLA - not all teachers are created equal there and when you have 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders lumped together in one class, it's unrealistic to expect the same standards from all of them.  

I don't want to rant and rave anymore about HLA since it's all been said before.  Len still has bad karma - he created it and it will come around to him one day.  I feelsorry for the parents who have to learn the hard way, like we all did.

Amen to what you said. We are parents of a recent kid at HLA and we found out the hard way also after spending a fortune that HLA is a joke and Len B. is a corrupt liar and so is Joe Stapp. Both of them have the Napolean complex for sure!

it is true about the nightstaff's duties being a lot different. they hired a company that provides security people instead of hiring them themselves, like they did when i first got there. And there are all these policies about interacting with the nighstaff. i used to like talking to the old nightstaff when i couldnt sleep at night and some of them were really chill. no one wanted to piss them off because they were so nice. well, some of them were...not all of them. the new ones were so cold and robotic.

Wonder how many students will graduate from HLA this month in December 2007? How many students will be left after that?
