George,
If your Mother has concerns as we did, have her contact Isaccorp.org.-- Shelby Earnshaw. First
and foremost, tell her you are not manipulating,
rather telling the truth. One has to weigh the good attributes of the school verses the bad ones
for each individual student. The problem is they
treat all students the same. They are not suppose to have court ordered children at the school; HLA also states they do not accept
severe behaviorally troubled teeens. The last
few months have proven that is not the case.
They have had several attempted suicides,children
beating up other children, and several court ordered children. THe parents are kept in the dark, so they operate as they wish. Everyone
is forbidden to talk about the school.
As far as strip searches, they continue. HLA
feels they have no choice. Although parents do sign a document, nowhere does it state 'strip
searches' shall be done, only urinalysis.
Have your mother read the warnings signs for
abusive schools(varying degrees) on isaccorp.org.
before tomorrow. It may help. Good luck.[ This Message was edited by: juniper on 2005-06-05 11:44 ]
