I am not one to typically defend what is written on this site, but this story is not fully true. This incident was reported to the police and there was a full police investigation. Reports that they were not let in are not accurate.
In this incident there were two very disturbed young ladies involved. The victim did not do all of it to herself, but did ask the other girl to do it to her so that she could claim that she was raped and get pulled from the school. The perpertrator was kept at the school for another month, but was not allowed to be around the other students. HLA went to great lengths to find an appropriate placement for her instead of just dumping her back onto her family, who was in no way able to care for her at the time. The family was actually very appreciative of this.
Should these girls have even been at HLA in the first place? No. Were they removed when that fact was made evident? Yes.

Not only was there not a full investigation, no police report was ever filed. If you contend there was, by all means post it. People who are intimately involved in this case have confirmed that there was never a police report, and niether girl was interviewed by investigators.
There is no public record of it (no case number), and I challenge you to show that there is.
I'm not sure who you are, but you are obviously not at the level at which you'd have a clear perspective of this incident or you are intentionally misleading about the facts.

Then this:
--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---I am sure the investigation is closed now and is likely a matter of public record. Look it up yourself.
BTW... Who is the top management person who resigned over this? I am not aware of this, so I am not sure that the truth is being told about that.

That's precisely what I'm saying. There is no public record and no police report.
There have been inquiries into this matter by attorneys and private investigators and there is no police report, nor was any investigation undertaken.
You're local. Take a quick drive down to the PD on your lunch break and request the reports. You won't find any.
Get back to me with your findings or post them.
Clarke Poole resigned over this and other issues surrounding HLA's unethical behavior. He's just one example.

And finally:
--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Clarke is who I assumed was the staff in question. Clarke was not a top management person, but I agree that he resigned for the reasons mentioned. I cannot explain why there is no police report, other than the fact that no charges were filed to my knowledge. I do konw for a fact that there were detectives at HLA investigating this incident. Actually, they were the first ones to suggest that this was staged by the girls.

We have some seriously disparate reports of this incident. Obviously, this staffer was lying about the police investigating this crime on HLA's campus.
If the police were called, there has been a huge coverup. If not, there has been incredible negligence and I believe it is a felony offense for a school NOT to report a sex crime against one of its students.
Either way... HLA has some serious explaining to do.
Anonymous:
any such incidents are to be reported to Child Protective Services...
Call Kit Wallace at CPS... According to CPS,no incidents at HLA HAVE EVER BEEN
REPORTED TO CPS...Heck, one family has said they cannot even get an incident report from HLA to submit to their insurance company
for re-imbursement of hosptial bills. THey were referred to QUirk and QUirk....I think this says it all!

I wonder if this article can be forwarded to Atlanta news outlets.
After all, this is a story of local interest since Len has offices in
Atlanta. He is also involved in civic affairs there and is well-known
by many families who have relied on his "expertise" as a psychologist and Educational Consultant.
Does anyone have contacts there?
