A legal note to all prior and current HLA staff who are contacting parents on this forum.
I do not believe HLA's counsel would feel it was judicious for you to have contact with the very plaintiff's who will be testifying against your actions against their children.
Whatever relationship we might have been forced into as your employer had physical custody of our children and subjected us to be dependant on your physical control, when our children were at HLA, now that the lawsuit has been filed, employees of HLA are part of the group of defendants and will be called to testify to their part in the harm done to our children.
I think it very pudent for all parents and former "students" to be very careful with relationships they may have with current or former staff of HLA.
This is where the "rubber meets the road". "Piss or get off the pot".
You are either part of the lawsuit or you condone HLA actions.
There is NO in-between.
If staff had cared so much for us or our children, why were they NOT whistle blowers? And if they are whistle blowers, then they can publicly let us all know exactly, how they stood up to the HLA superiors that were forcing them to do things they knew better than to do and let us know what reprecusions they sufferred.
This is a serious time now not to sabatoge this case.
We are either seriously harmed and am looking for justice or "it really wasn't that bad".
It can't be both ways.
Lawsuits are serious business. If you think these people are giving up their reputations, their businesses they built for decades, their bank accounts, their positions in the world community as a expert without a damned god-awful fight - you'd better think again.
This crew are experts in manipulations and mind games. Not much difference than counter-intelligence people.
You are banking on the legal system can beat a bunch of shrinks.
My judgement is still up in the air as to who I think might win that fight.
You think because we were wronged and anyone can see that, that we will win??
Wait a minute - bad things happen all the time and people just "walk away".
So, at the very least, one of the legal staff needs to let the folks here know that now is not the time to be "cozying up".
If I were a former or current staff, I'd be pissing in my pants, worrying about how big a part I might be called into in this mess and how I was going to feed my family during the months or years this might drag on and if I lost my license, then what would I do.
This is very serious business.
I do not mean to scare you or to be over-buerdensome in my postings, but we all got used to alot of "CHAOS" and now is not the time to confuse the issues of this case by being buddy-buddy with some of the staff, but well not others.....
sorry for the rant....
