CPS Investigation into HLA
Troll Control:
Dear Parents,
Before the HLA rumor mill kicks in full force, I wanted you to hear directly from me. Occasionally, we have a disgruntled parent who has withdrawn their child contact The Department of Family and Children Services. The Department is required to investigate. Today, DEFACS interviewed several students at HLA. This will undoubtedly be a subject of your student phone calls. The Department of Family and Children Services are not required to tell us about the complaint or who has made the complaint. I do not have further information to share but I did not want you to be overly alarmed by your student phone call. I just wanted you to know that this had occurred so that you heard it from HLA first.
I hope you all know that providing a safe therapeutic and academic environment is our number one priority.
If you have any questions or concerns please call the school.

I guess "rumor mill" is a euphemism for "public awareness."

Interesting how HLA is downplaying the seriousness of the investigation by CPS.
Please call Ms. Kit Wallace of Child Protective Services at 706.864.1839 to get the facts for yourself.
She can't discuss specifics of the investigation, but she can give you a general idea of how many complaints she's received. It's far more than an occasionally disgruntled parent as Mr. Cates's letter implies.

"therapeutic" ? I thought "therapeutic" was just for marketing purposes....Mr. Cates, as Headmaster of HLA, you should be aware that HLA is not a "Therapeutic Boarding School"...nor is it licensed as such... Per your attorneys, "therapeutic" is only used for marketing purposes....HLA is an "Academic Boarding School"....
don't you think you all should be on the same page...?

Good point. They like to deny, deny, deny, but given time, they always tell on themselves. Thanks, Chuck!
