I believe the difference here is that most of the claims that folks make on this board, not all, can be backed up with some fact. While there are surely some folks on this board who are just disgruntled kids, parents, and ex employees, many of these people have some legitimate complaints. HLA will have its day in court. If the judge agrees with HLA then they will be fine. If not, it will be a sad day for them.

No difference. Bock's comments were backed with fact. She just lacked the resource to defend herself. Which was extremely unfortunate.
The fiasco played out here of Fornits. Scheff was very obviously upset that Bock posted her deposition which exposed much of the fraud Bock had accused her of, as well as the programs Scheff refered to.
I might add, that Bock did so only after Scheff or one of her anon allies, had posted Bock's deposition, before Bock even had a copy.
What can be said of a woman who pulls her daughter out of a program she feels is abusive, yet continues to refer parents and collect the referral fees? Or continues to refer minors to a program that is being investigated for abuse/neglect?
This is not intended as a defense of Bock. I didn't agree with all of her descisions and actions, but she had been lied to and manipulated by so many in the industry, it's my opinion, that she didn't know who to trust or where to turn.
