Thanks again, Johnny, for demonstrating another, probably more insidious aspect of Synanon based 'therapy'; the 'blame the victim' total mindfuck.
Here's how Clarke described the incident:
(Jane Doe 1) had trouble here from the beginning, with most of her incidents involving violence. Finally, she was complicit in an elopement that culminated in the physical, and, by all indications, sexual assault on another student who was hospitalized for several days due to her physical injuries, especially internal injuries in the pelvic area. Then, rather than being dismissed immediately, she remained enrolled here for another month. The educational consultant who referred her to Hidden Lake was (Consultant 1).
Your characterization of the incident and of your having 'worked with' these girls brings to mind one of the most harrowing moments of my stay at Straight, Inc. People talk about the physical, overt shit more because it's more easily proven. There are witnesses who saw the same events and, sometimes, can relate the basic facts somewhat objectively. The stuff that goes on inside the heart and mind of the individual is, imo, more brutal cause you go it alone, for the most part.
Chris had been 'on vacation' for a good month or two and had been captured and put back in group. Staff stood her up to confront her and relay to the rest of us what the party line would be. Pretty standard for a split. The details, however, were most disturbing to me personally. Staff disclosed that Chris had become pregnant while she was away and that, by so doing, she had forced Staff and her parents to make the painful decision of
forcing her to abort the baby. Then, as she cried, they made her apologize to group, staff and her parents (in absentia) for making them have to go and do that.
Fucking incredible!
This whole topic came about because of the comment you made that an appropriate student is ?one whose parents can afford the tuition?.
It was interesting to see that of the three families you discussed two were provided with significant financial aid because their families could not afford the HLA tuition.
Doesn?t really fit with your statement.

So much for that string of fancy sounding letters after her name. But that comment does very well demonstrate the cult mindset. Never mind the shocking details of the three families under discussion. Let's focus on the trivial matter of that initial snide remark. "See, you're wrong! You've been impeached! Case closed!" It's like giving Charles Manson a j-walking ticket and being self righteous about it.
I find it interesting, too, that HLA has adopted the term 'elopement' just like SAFE in Orlando. Anybody recall about when that term entered the HLA inside jargon?
