Court ordered..HLA
Anonymous:
It is not actually a lie. What a judge will often do is suspend a childs sentence until they complete the program. If the family does not want to take this alternative, the child will then be ordered to a locked facility. Judges often like to give this option for kids who have committed a minor crime but obviously do not belong in a locked facility. That is why they offer HLA as an OPTION, not an order.
Kids will come in saying, and possibly truly thinking, that they are court ordered, when technically that is not the case.

extend the sentence, order.
what's the difference?
semantics. master of manipulation,
spinning illusions.
like identifying as a private school while
therapy is the primary purpose.
it really would be satisfying to watch you writh with anguish while being forced to take responsibility for your behaviors.
you're all worse than the students.
RobertBruce:
Very true. All it is is playing with semantics. The kids are told they can either go to HLA or go to jail.
Simply because they had a choice does not mean they werent ordered to be there. They simply had a choice in where they were ordered to go.
And still there are other kids who do fall under the category of having simply been ordered there.
So add that to the lie.

This is true. There are many kids who are mandated into HLA - no semantics or choices.

Yes, and there are such who also, at the time of admission got sent to HLA because it was that or jail. And then I also know that if your counselors even have a remote idea that there's a possibility it could get lifted and/or your parents might want to withdraw you, they will mess with you and put you in situations where you will be made to look like you are a loose cannon and you need a place like HLA. A counselor tried to do this to one of my best friends who got pulled because his court-order got lifted and his counselor tried to screw him over and tried to contact his probation officer but the kid's parents laid it on his counselor and he successfully got out. Upon him leaving, his counselor told him "Good luck, you won't last longer than three weeks. You'll either end up in jail, or dead." He's been out and is still alive an kickin, not dead, or in jail. He's been out for about three or four months now.
