My exposure to this long, horrible experience, taught me one huge piece of information, I would have never known. Lacey, as probably most of you are, those who were "students", represent, the "best and brightest", from our society. If you could have been easily "controlled", mentally or physically, there would have been, no problem. Lacey was exponentially, way over and above me, her peers, the school workers, the healtcare workers, who tried to control her, hence the problems. They best you as kids, metaphorically speaking. The only way to protect, the highest value our planet has, you, is to group up and come back at these pathetic control freaks and beat them at their own game, for the sole purpose of having those brilliant, vibrant, whacky kids coming behind you, to not be medicated, controlled or "labelled" and stuck out in the woods to be "used" by sicko, experts. I know, I was one of you, back in the 60's, but it was a different world back then.

First, did you (lacey's mom) ever graduate from high school? your ramblings are incoherent. please look over them and make them make sense. good grammar and spelling is unnecessary, it's the internet. but clean that shit shit up, it's digusting how many commas you put in. You took five sentences and merged them into one, sometimes skipping from one subject to another within the same sentence.
second, theres more to this story than what your're telling us.
third, I'm well aware of the problems within public schools. WHY NOT JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER DISTRICT? or send her to a private school as soon as she started fucking up? or send her out of the country to a school in canada, switzerland, or england? You obviously had plenty of money to lawyers and HLA. why not spend that money on a quality traditional private boarding school? heck, that's half the reason boarding schools exist! even if she was court ordered to NOT be allowed those options, are you going to let that get in the way? WTF did lacey do that was so bad she sentenced to a jail term? go to another state, and dont come back. they cant touch you. why would you even want to remain in a state that did such things to your family. you obviously had enough money for HLA, you have enough to move. not moving to keep your daughter out of jail is just plain selfish.
all i see is a very dumb, naive, overly-emotional or drunk mother who made some very ignorant choices in her life.
and you said lacey reacted to legal issues within the family that stemmed back from before she was born. So you're saying you brought a life into this world knowing that you did not have a stable family environment to provide? did you have her with a man you just divorced or something? ever heard of an abortion? or are you too self-righteous for one?
if you want us to understand what happened and be nice you should fix up your posts so we can actually comprehend whats going on. a suggestion would be to take your time, dont try to stuff 25 years worth of information into a single sentence.

At no point in time did i ever participate in the manipulation of families. I joined HLA because it seemed like a nice place (on the surface) which was located just a few miles from where i live. I wanted to help troubled kids. I knew nothing about the corruption present at HLA before i joined. When i found out, i tried to change things, make things more ethical and less damaging. when i realized that was futile, i quit. Before i left, i went so far as to collect phone numbers of parents and make phone calls to them to expose what was really going on at HLA. I was hung up on all but twice, those two kids were pulled within 24 hours of me talking to their parent. As one guest poster recently commented: there were good staff and bad staff, the whole range. I like to think of myself as a good staff, the few kids that remember me from HLA agree wholeheartedly. When i left HLA, I took a job teaching european history at a local high school and another job working at a halfway house in atlanta for orphaned juvenile offenders.
again, the post with the ideological farmer joe with five kids is not me, i have only two teenage kids and i'm definitely not a farmer.

Lacey and her mom have a compelling story to tell. It's going to take a lot more than a few posts in this thread to describe their circumstances and the events leading up to Lacey's stay at HLA.
It's a fascinating story about greed, corruption, money, power and the railroading of a teenaged girl for fun and profit. Trust me, you'll want to hear the whole story and to look over the legal documents surrounding it.
You will see how the confluence of greed, money and power damaged Lacey's life. She was held against her will and against the wishes of her parents by HLA and Len used his money and power (and Q&Q) to influence legal custody of this poor girl and to extract a hundred thousand dollars or so from her parents.
I don't want to talk too much out of school, so I'll let Lacey lay this out as she feels fit, but I assure you, what was done to this girl by HLA and an EdCon is a travesty and devastating indictment of Len's morals, ethics and professional judgment.
