Well, patience and persistence pay off, don't they?

This is just incredible news.  HLA will become the first 'TBS' required by law to be licensed (read 'regulated') by the state.

I believe that this precedent, coupled with the ruling in NY regarding the Academy at Ivy Ridge (that a TBS is not in fact a school, but a 'behavior modification facility') set all the precedent necessary to go after these fraud factories one at a time, or even to attack their professional networking umbrella groups such as NATSAP.

This is a big, big day, folks.  Let's not rest upon our laurels.  

Now we need to make sure that HLA provides factual information to the licensing board and scuttle their application should they choose to 'stay the course' with fraudulent documentation provided to oversight officials.

One more time, for all the naysayers and for all of the deeply disturbed people who have fought tooth-and-nail to avoid the responsibility of providing proper research proven effective mental health care to our children:   ::fuckoff::  ::both::

One great thing about this ruling is that it will force out the hacks, quacks, and non-degreed, unlicensed staff.  I would estimate that fully 90% of current HLA employees will not meet muster for professional requirements and will therefore be (ENFORCEABLY) legally barred from working with the kids.

HLA needs to find a way to attract and hire proper personnel or fold up and blow away.  I'd give 10 to 1 odds on the latter.  Any takers??

Anonymous:
HLA has until February 5, 2007 to submit their application or they must cease operating as a child-caring facility.

Troll Control:
I assume they'll file on time and be allowed to operate "provisionally," but I don't believe they will ever get licensed, as the staff is woefully inadequate in terms of state requirements.

We'll just have to wait and see...
