Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy
Methods and Techniques
greenarrow:
Hidden Lake Academy is an excellent school. After reading some of the negative things here I know that the writers are disgruntled rabble-rousers that are simply making things up, in hopes of discouraging those of us who like the school and those of us who have been helped by the fine counseling team and teachers at Hidden Lake. You can read the anger and hostility in their words, I really feel sorry for them and hope one day they get the help they really need. These writers are playin on the fears of families looking for help. I love HLA!
juniper:
Really! Why????????????
Deborah:
Thanks for sharing.
But who is really playing on parents' fears?
I don't speak for anyone but myself when I say that I am here to share my experience, which is every bit as valid as yours, and to have discussion. You, and others are free to make the choice you deem appropriate.
I am not an angry, rabble-rouser, simply making things up. In effect, you have called me (and others) a liar. And that, is what incites the frequent and harsh responses.
I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but that is exactly what happens in HLA and other BM facilities. The teen is told they are a 'liar' and 'need help'. Your shade-tree evaluation is not welcomed, thanks. And at the risk of sounding harsh, I would think that it's the parent who abdicates parental responsibility who 'needs help'.
You do not KNOW that others are lying. You have no way of knowing if peoples' stories are true or not. The truth is, you HOPE they are. Time will tell.
You also don't KNOW what your child is experiencing on a daily basis. To pretend that you do, is a lie. You KNOW what you are told.

Get over yourself already! You're very obviously a lost cause. We're talking to sane people who want to actually think about things before jumping in. And for your kid and other kids who's parents will just never understand. And for the whole body of the netizens of Cyberia who, for whatever reason, just want to know more. And for lawyers and journalists who want to better inform public policy and opinion.
News flash! It's not about YOU!

"I never claimed to be a counselor did I. And 7 years associated with the school DOES make me an insider, or was one anyway the years I was there. Cant claim to be one now obviously. My ex-husband, and father in law, and mother in law were all employees of the school. Mother and father in law were there from 1995-2001. Ex is still there. Not a counselor no, but a part of the school nonetheless. What we are discussing here is experiences with the school, and opinions. I am not making claims on how to take care of children with mental health issues am I? No.I am stating my opinion and observations. I dont have to have a degree in mental health to discuss the school. Are you going to tell these parents or prospective parents they cant have an opinion either? or the students? I have just as much right to discuss issues on this board as any other person. I never asked you not to post on here but you keep on repeating that I shouldnt post. Sorry, aint happenin' dude. Get used to it. "
