Thank you for apologizing, but it's not necessary. I know how bad they treated you. I'm glad you're on here standing up to HLA and speaking for so many students that went through the same you did.

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Earlier someone said that some of the students or former students would get on the stand and say "If not for HLA I'd be in jail or dead". Well I want to know about the former students who are dead. Some of which died from the same behaviors they exhibited proir to thier 18 to 24 months at Hidden Lake. Has no one taken the time to consider them? I consider myself one of the lucky ones; having come through the program some 6 years ago, I have managed to keep out of serious trouble and forgive my parents for sending me to HLA.
*Hidden Lake not only fails to help people through thier issues they create more issues for young adults to face.*
Thank you.

Actually I have wondered a great deal about the kids who went through this program and where they are today. Some of the issues these children were/are dealing with are so severe and needed help way beyond what HLA states they can provide. I wonder about the kids who were suicidal, the kids who were so involved in drugs, the kids who had eating disorders, the kids who mutilated themselves... Are they well? Are they alive? Did they fall further into despair? The kids who speak out against HLA are so angry - and rightfully so. I wonder how much they are consumed by that anger and if they are ever able to truly make peace with it and move on. It really makes me sad to think about it.

Most of us are doing well in life. Don't confuse our desire to see HLA held responsible for their action with being "consumed by anger". I lead a perfectly happy life outside of this site and lawsuit. This is... oh, I guess you could call it a pleasurable side project. Make no mistake, HLA definitely cause significant damages in our lives. But I refuse to let it continue to dominate the life I've created in spite of the 23 months I was there.
RobertBruce:
These are my sentiments exactly. Wanting to see someone exposed for what they and have the truth brought to life is not about anger or revenge. It's about doing the right thing and preventing others from suffering as we did. I'm perfectly content with my life right now and HLA hasn't had any hold over me since the moment I got out of there.
Besides the best revenge is proving them wrong, their claims about me failing in life or being "dead or in jail within three weeks" is a little past due and the complete opposite from how things turned out. Despite their best efforts to the contrary.
Funny how that always brings a smile to my face. :D

I knew you would succeed, RB (if you are who I think you are). You were too persistent and hard headed not to succeed. :D
