Was just recently on the facebook group....

apparently, as recently as the beginning of october: HLA got a new loan, and is now accepting new kids. A parent stated on the facebook group that she toured hla (as HLA, not as mounatin brook or whatever they were going to call it) and there was a number of new admissions.


we got soft for a little while. time to ramp it back up again.

This is disgusting. We as a people just can't stop this notion. There are too many parents that have a teen that need help and resort to the quickest measure possible. HLA will never stop manipulating, torturing, and damaging the lives of kids until the PEOPLE come to their senses. I just left HLA in may. I didn't graduate, I was halfway through the program and I was 'pulled' when news of lawsuits for abuse and fraud erupted. There's not going to be any change to that god-forsaken place. The things that show up on web forums are only half of the disgusting acts that I saw. I came to HLA out of wilderness a changed person, and I left HLA and went into the normal world a scarred person. Is there anything we can do do bring this corrupt school to justice as a people?

A loan? From who?

So, let's see... Buccellato skims quite a bit off the top, puts that into another fund outside HLA. HLA then declares bankruptcy and a lot of creditors get stiffed. Then, magically, after the bankruptcy, there's suddenly a new loan of cash again from some other source.

Sure, this looks legit. Nothing fishy could be going on here.

After reading the entire bankruptcy case and other entities involved that have also filed for bankruptcy,  it is no wonder why Buccellato chose to pay the 400,000. to settle the class case, instead of turning over his financials  as ordered by Judge O'Kelley.  This is some operation.
I will say this, anyone that removed their child from there, should be thankful, period.  I also think all parents and industry insiders should email Keith Bostick and demand the truth about the current licensing.  Court papers just filed by Buccellato's attorney do not reflect the current license status correctly  and SAIS and SACS do not accredit HLA anymore, which is in the court papers stating they do.    SACS accreditation was transferred to THE RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL from HLA.  HLA was closed and lost it's 501-C, it is now classed a "propriety school" and therefore cannot be licensed by the SAIS.  In Document 76 filed 10-30-09  Buccellato's attorney stated  HLA is SACS and SAIS accredited.
 The ORS which is now under the DHR and called the ORCC stated  the CCI license was transferred to Ridge Creek Inc.  Mountain Brook, etc.  Ridge Creek, Inc. has a Child Caring Institution (CCI) License.  There was a change in ownership request on 7/21/09 and the change of ownership was approved 8/6/09.   ORCC no longer licenses a facility under the name Hidden Lake Academy Inc. (HLA).    According to  the ORS/DHR/ ORCC  there is HLA Incorporated that is licensed by the Healthcare Facility Regulation Division under the Department of Community Health (DCH) and not licensed by ORCC.  
Creekside?  on the court docs...but ORCC claims it has never heard of it.   Also state the ORS/DHR/ORCC did not facilitate the contracts for DCFS or DJJ children...  According to the DJJ and DCFS, they did... So, go figure.  and, of-course, who does everyone end up blaming?  The Accountant!
Flags anyone?

Ursus:
It would appear that Rosenberg and Company, Buccellato's current attorneys (yes?), are quite adept at shuffling paperwork.
