i was only there for a few months in 2003, so i dont know what the safety situation is like now.
kid-on-kid violence was common, especially at night. we broke up a "fight club" [like the movie] in dorm B the week i arrived. one time a kid was "tea-bagged" (scrotum placed in mouth) at night by his roommates and then had "i love cock" scrawled all over his body while he was sleeping. kids would also get into minor altercations very often, but would get broken up quickly. Staff-on-kid PHYSICAL violence rarely occured, if it did it was while performing a restraint improperly or while breaking up fights. what did occur was a whole lot of power-tripping: staff would single out kids they didnt like and consequence them excessively at the slightest misstep. In many ways the consequences bordered on violence - forcing kids to carry heavy objects all day, yelling and spitting in their face, forcing kids to do exercise in freezing rain, preventing visits to the bathroom, etc.

Yes

Translated: You dont have diddly to back up what you say.
--- Quote --- maybe if you made that child feel like a member of the family....the family could have avoided placement.
--- End quote ---
There are children who are made to feel like they are part of the family and still reject being a part of it.
--- Quote --- So what your saying is money is the most important thing in life, and everything else comes second?
--- End quote ---
I read back and didn’t see where I said that. There is a family unit that needs to be preserved and other children to be considered, housed and fed.
--- Quote ---You already suffered a loss of income from placing your child in HLA's custody. and really, is income really that much higher a priority compared to your child's and family's mental health?
--- End quote ---
Exactly, if money was the high priority then parents wouldn’t spend a dime helping their kids and paying $100,000 + for one child while the other siblings have to cut back to help afford it.
--- Quote ---hmmmm. Knowing you i'm truly not surprised. many parents of HLA students have the same attitude: "heres some money, now get them out of my hair and fix them while i go about my business".
--- End quote ---
I have no doubt that those types of parents exist. There are all kinds out there.
--- Quote ---read what i said regarding your choice of lifestyle and attitude.
Furthermore, siblings are never treated equally and therefore do not come out equally. read the bible, maybe youll learn something... (cain+abel). do you really think genetics predispose someone to being sent away? NO! it's the way they are raised, and you fucked up royally in that department. Get your priorities straight.
--- End quote ---
Reading about families in a bible doesn’t make you an expert. I knew by your initial criticism that you never had any kids. Of course parents care about all their kids equally. You tipped your hand with that comment. Each child is different. You cannot adjust your parenting style to gain a desired outcome. You can take a child to church every day and read him the bible but if he doesn’t want to become a priest then there is nothing a parent can do.... every child is different regardless of parenting style.... every parent knows this.

No, Not so. The previous post is evidence of how this particular troll is determined to wrest the topic off of HLA's abusive practices.

Where? He responded to the entire post by pg54counselor, as far as I can see, and stayed on topic.
Inculcated:
I’ll quote the cult guy from south park on this one and advise you to “Look more closelier”. Specifically, at what troll chooses to not respond to and when troll's responses are inflammatory enough to provoke a diversion from HLA ‘s abusive practices.
