Has HLA’s focus altered due to the fact a petition for a law suit has been filed against HLA?As some of you may be aware, a petition for a lawsuit had been filed against Hidden Lake Academy in September 2006. At this time we were informed by our attorneys that plaintiffs can state all forms of devastating allegations in a suit, and cannot be held accountable for those statements since this is a petition for a suit.

On April 2, 2007, the Judge issued a ruling on the motion to dismiss some aspects of the suit which had been filed by all defendents. We are heartened by his dismissal of: 1. All claims by the plaintiffs that Hidden Lake Foundation, Inc., and Leonard Buccellato had violated the Georgia Fair Business Act.2. All claims against HLA, Inc. of unjust enrichment; and3. All claims for injunctive relief.

We are awaiting the ruling by the Judge on the plaintiffs' motion for certification of a class. Although the plaintiffs have alleged a breach of enrollment agreement, they have not made any claim that their children were abused or mistreated.

Unfortunately, throughout this ordeal a few people have been ruthless and persistent in their attacks, with their sole intent to negatively impact HLA, damaging our referral network. Their allegations have spurred a vicious ongoing attack over the internet behind a veil of anonymity. Their assertions have been personal in nature and made with the sole intention of hurting the school financially and emotionally. Sadly, it appears this has been the intention of the onset. Due to privacy issues we have been unable to defend ourselves, making the damage irreparable in many ways.

Most importantly, however, we want to assure you that this in no way has detracted from our primary objective; HLA continues to function very strongly and our students remain our only focus. Our committment to excellence has not and will not waver. The support we have received from current parents, past parents, colleagues, and professionals in the field has been overwhelming. Thank you. It means the world to the faculty and staff of HLA.s

Talk about half truths.

Troll Control:
Hmmmm....

They say they are committed to the kids, but failed to mention that they have fired almost one half of their employees and nearly an eighth of the remaining have already resigned, with several more imminnent.  

How can they be committed to the kids with only half of the needed staff?  Not sure how that squares with a "safe environment" or "proper supervision"...

translation:  "We DID abuse and neglect many children, including the ones who are most vocally complaining now.  Due to the fact that we don't want this can of worms opened, we will not pursue these individuals out of fear that engaging them will have the effect of having their abuse potentially becoming part of YET ANOTHER lawsuit and the public record."

there.  that's better.

I do truly believe that HLA is like a sinking ship. Lots of the staff are jumping ship as fast as they can and rowing away. Even if the Judge does not certify the class action lawsuit, can HLA really recover from financial disaster, or will they cut their losses and declare bankruptcy? That is the BIG Question ???? :question:
