Latest Suicide Attempt
Anonymous:
Welcome to the HLA board, where anonymous trolls can come on and accuse teenage girls of not trying to kill themselves when slashing their wrists!

I am simply questioning the validity of the report. My guess is that any form of self harm would be labeled a suicide attempt by someone who has not been trained to know the difference. One of the great things about this board is that the people here questions the validity of things. I whole heartedly agree with people doing that not only to HLA but to anyone else that makes a statement that may not be true, including the LCSO. If you pick and choose who you question it lessens your argument against HLA because you just look like a disgruntled ex-student/employee/parent with an agenda. You would be better served seeking the truth instead of building a case. With all HLA (Len) has done the truth is all you need.

The child may have tried to kill herself, I am just saying you can't really count on bubba from the sheriffs office to be able to make that call.

Bubba may not be qualified, but I've never heard of cutters slicing their wrists. Cutting is usually in a concealed area. She may have stated as much, if there was a police report.

You are right. It is usually in a concealed area, but not always, and it is on the wrists more often than you probably think. It is very possible that this poor child did try to kill herself, and that is a tragedy if true. My point is that the sherrif's office is not qualified to make that call. Do we know if the girl was hospitalized? Was the mobile assessment team called in to do an evaluation? If so, what does their report say. If they call it an attempted suicide then that has validity because they would be licensced mental health professionals.
I also would like to point out the hipocracy of this. If someone from the LCSO wrote in their report that HLA handled things with a high level of professionalism and skill the people on this board would be slamming the LCSO as not being qualified to make such a statement, but if they say a girl attempted suicide they take it as the gospel truth.
Again, it may have been a suicide attempt and HLA may have been at great fault. You just can't tell from a police report.

Milk gets a little paranoid sometimes.... what can we say?
More importantly, the answer to the question about suicides comes straight from the horse's mouth. This is HLA's very own response regarding suicide attempts:
· Plaintiffs allege several suicide attempts in recent months and acts of violence by students on other students (¶¶ 49-50). Those allegations are false.

Or maybe the LCSO has been called to the carpet and is now doing what they should have done years ago. If HLA called the police, then it must have been a serious attempt as they too are under much scrutiny.
