Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy
When is HLA finally going to close???
Deborah:
There are a few more articles and letters to the editor from the local paper, which are posted here, that tell the whole story.

Well, I've taken the first steps of a "not in my backyard" campaign against letting any of these behavior mod facilities into town.
I have sent letters to the local planning board and to the county commissioners as well as some influential locals explaining the depth and breadth of false information, phony credentials, business model, lack of accreditation or licensed employees, etc in Aspen Education Group (who I believe will make the move to acquire the HLA property) along with copious documentation of their patient abuses.
This one is going to be dead before it hits the ground, just like we killed MBA through lobbying and education of the principals.
FYI, the townfolk and the town government are both very weary of the problems caused by HLA and are reticent even to debate the sale of the property to what they refer to as a "juvenile private prison."
So, we'll see. I and a few others are on top of it and talking to the people that matter down there.

It's a sad day in Mudville, apparently HLA had a clause written into all the contracts stating that if a parent wised up and decided to sue them as so many have, the parents were respondsible for the all court cost and legal fees.
This was probably done to try and scare parents and disuade them from suing.
Well as it turns out no one is really afraid of them afterall.
The judge ruled that the clause violated Georgia Law, and the parents, or the plantiffs in this case are not respondsible for any of HLA's legal fees.
Doesn't that just suck for them.

I haven't been on in a while. What has happened with the lawsuit? Any news on closing the school or the bankruptcy filing?

DJ, if you care so much why don't you start your own program they have good facilities at HLA or see if Aspen would back you to build a program as a show piece to show the rest what they should do?
