Or does her pocket book take over her oath? Time will tell...I don't think she has reported this to GAO..yet.."

This is true. Meds were rarely administered by a professional, and I knew dozens of kids who cheeked their meds daily and passed around Adderall, Ritalin, etc. Its never really been a stable issue there. But then again, what's ever been stable there?

god that name sounds so familiar, what was her title prior to the fill in?

Well a nurse wasnt always the one dispensing medication. Actually it was really only twice a day that she did. The nurse was only there for morning and lunchtime meds. Evening and night meds were distributed by regular staff. Usually JimSir or Lee. But not always. Just a little information on the topic.

""I'm sure you've heard about their tactics in forcing students to conceal information concerning the truth about that place. Any time we would try to communicate with our parents about what was going on, we would be severly punished" Could you give examples and explain how HLA harms kids. It doesn't have to be specifically about you. You can use things you wittnessed or know about. Thanks [ This Message was edited by: Badpuppy on 2006-05-01 13:49 ]"

Go to HLA threads and read. Theres enough information there, and is written better than I could explain it. I'm not getting into anything else here, as I'm sure it will just be invalidated and debased on the grounds of some ludicrous topic as already shown.

So what was your take on Three Springs, from the position of a staff member? And I don't know. I defended myself and my mother out of habit.

Are you saying that your parents made a value judgement that their money was worth more than your well-being?  Even if you're not saying this, it is exactly why many parents justify their actions."

Oh I'm sure my father made that chioce, absolutely. The stipulation of the court was that my father (becasue he had the money, and my mother did not) was that my father was to pay all bills surrounding my mental health stuff. So it was his decision to not pay the penalties involved in pulling me. He had already not had the outcome he wanted in court, there was nothing for him to do but cut his losses and go home. I have since not seen my father since i was 15. I'm of no leverage to him anymore in court, so therefore I'm of no use to him. So sure, I'd believe it in a heartbeat that he made the decision that money was more important that me. Sure holds true with his current track record.

"If Lacey's Mom had been upfront about what program she was talking about--HLA--and had left out all the nonsense about her ex-husband, thriving business, boyfriend, Godliness, and the other BS, people may have taken her postings a bit more seriously. People here have a bit of a problem with parents who place their kid in program AFTER program AFTER program; and who THEN come on here YAKKING like they know everything. I still have a problem with the multiple placements of this girl."

"This girl" will be happy to explain the situation. The reason for the rant about my father by my mother IS the explination for my "Multiple Placements." The manipulation of the treatment centers I was sent to PALES in comparison to the manipulation my wonderful, oh so caring father is capable of. I was originally only supposed ot be sent to  the 2 month wilderness, and then the 9-month RTC. However, during my time at RTC, my father started a whole new custody battle to contend custody of me in court, solely for financial reasons. And if he had gotten custody, I can assure you that the person sitting here typing would be a FAR different, and much more disturbed person.  If I had come home directly after RTC, I would have been thrust into the dealings of my father's manipulative, greedy court case, which was one of the biggest reasons, throughout my childhood, that I got so screwed up (in one form or another). And Hidden Lake had assured my parents that I could be temporarily placed there for a few months until the court litigations were resolved, and the home I went back to was a much less tumultuous (sp?) place. I think anyone can agree that a return back home after treatment should be to a stable and supportive environment. Unfortunately, my parents found out too late HLA's penalties for pulling a student, and I was forced to serve my whole stay there.

So before everyone jumps to a position of autority on my life in treatment and the causes in which parts were or were not acceptable, maybe you should take a moment to get off your high horse and acknowledge that maybe you DO NOT have all the information regarding every childs circumstances. So it seems, the only person "YAKKING like they know everything" is you.[ This Message was edited by: Lacey on 2006-05-01 08:01 ]
