It's impossible to believe that people will continue working for "free" as that seems to be what's happening. Not knowing if your paycheck will actually bounce and yet staying in the same workplace is like a form of insanity.
HLA is beginning to resemble Jonestown! The remaining staff seem brainwashed or brain dead. It seems like they refuse to "jump ship" out of some misguided sense of loyalty....or just plain stubborness.
It's also hard to imagine that some Ed. Cons. are still referring to HLA.

My Ed Con was Martha Kolbe and she was old and clueless as they come. If I were an Ed Con, I would care about my reputation more than to refer anyone to HLA..BUT, ED CONNING is the name of the game for lots of Ed Cons that just see $$$ signs. I agree that it is unreal to think that staff would continue to stay at HLA if they were having payroll checks bounce. That makes no sense at all! Why in the world would people like Kristen Bell come back to a place like HLA when she had gotten out? Talk about CRAZY!!

maybe there afraid that if they leave, someone worse will only replace them. so maybe as corrupt as the place is, many of the staff choose to stay there to make sure the kids dont have that hard of a time and arnt seriously abused. if they leave, len would only replace them with someone else who gets paid less and is less qualified, and is likely a methhead lumpkin bumpkin with sadistic tendencies.

Unfortunately, this assumes far too much benevolence on the part of most of the remaining staff, most of whom remain because their qualifications, or lack thereof, could not get them a job anywhere else except Wal-Mart. Others stay simply because of fear of the unknown... the old syndrome of remaining in an untentable situation simply because it is the situation they know. Change is scary, especially for those who have essentially become institutionalized through their association with Len and HLA. Lee Parham, Kristen Bell, David Riefenberger are excellent examples.

What about Anna Jones? She actually lives and breathes HLA and her good buddy Len B. She makes me want to throw up calling him Len B!!! YUCK!!! She is either one fake B or a brainwashed B!!! Probably both is my guess. What is behind John M. and Joe Stapp's loyalty to HLA? They have families to take care of so I cannot imagine why they would stay at a place with such a horrible reputation. HLA is full of lies and deceit and parents that live in denial of the reality of HLA.
What a horrible experience to get into where you lose all your money and for what? HLA is such a JOKE!!!
