I heard this also. Bad, bad news if this is true. Good news for the kid, though. Got a viable defense for his actions.

He should be in jail.

Actually, from all accounts, this was a good, decent kid that had no real problems before HLA. Within a few days he snapped (maybe because of no meds also) and tried to leave. If they just let him leave instead of using FORCE to keep him at HLA none of this would have happened.
How's that "break-'em-down" plan working up there? :roll:

IF the kid did not receive his meds, then he has a great defense and HLA should be sued again. Man, they have been irresponsible with their meds over the years!!!
IF the kid was cheeking his meds then he needs to be in jail. I don't care if he was a good and decent kid, the kid went for a cops gun. You don't do that without doing some time. HLA may not have been the place for him, but he still holds the majority of the responsiblity. Assuming HLA didn't screw up his meds.

I see your point. I do believe his meds were not given though - not cheeked. We'll get to the bottom of it.
In either case, if HLA did not try to use force against this kid (by proxy thru the police) then none of this would ever have transpired. If they weren't trying to hold onto kids like grim death to support their dwindling bottom line, this kid could have walked away and there wouldn't have been a problem at all, except for the kid who made the choice to leave.
See, it's the coercion that leads to incidents like this. I can only imagine what the staff tried to do to him before and during his "running." Maybe he was frightened bad enough that jail looked like a good option? Maybe bad judgement, fear and mismanaged meds all confluenced to a very bad point.
No matter how you cut it up, it's devastating for the family and this seems to be HLA's legacy: DEVASTATED FAMILIES.
