this is exactly what this type of parent is looking for...ignorant bliss...

when her kid was home he was a "liar," but now that he's telling her what she wants to hear (what HLA forces kids to say under threat of "intervention"), he's a truth-teller.  funny how things change, huh?

My son was afraid to tell me about what was taking place there because he feared restrictions or, even worse, interventions. He was even more afraid to tell the staff what was going on for fear of being labeled a "snitch " and having the hell beat out of him by Manny or Cesar. (Those who were there recently know who I'm talking about.)

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---My son has been at HLA for 7 months.  He is very happy and likes his classes. He is on a sports team and in other activities.  He has lost one academic teacher, but otherwise he hasn't mentioned anyone leaving which impacted him.  He gripes about some things, but is doing fine and does not complain about being there or ask to leave.  I saw him very recently and I asked him about the things that have been reported on this forum.  He said there is absolutely no abuse of any kind and he thinks the school is just fine.  I have contacted other parents and they have the same reports from their kids.  I am not sure where the information on this site is coming from, but it is not correct.

If your son does well at HLA and has not suffered from any of the ongoing issues there then I am happy for both you and he. He should consider himself lucky.

That being said however, simply because your son may not have been abused or suffered while at HLA in no way negates the experiences of others. You have no right to simply dismiss our claims simply because you didnt experience them. These events did happen, they are coming to light, and the truth will be known.

One other thing you may want to consider; if your son is being abused at HLA, he's not allowed to tell you about it. If he does he'll be accused of lying/manipulating and punished indefinitly.

Just something to keep in mind.
