  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 ]"

Could you be more specific about suicide attempts and kids beating up other kids in recent months?

Thanks

Holy shit tony its real good to hear from you. seriously, you were one of the only staff that i ever felt treated me like a human being. im glad you got out of that hell hole. you seemed like too good of a guy to play those bullshit bueracratic games that seemed to spawn from the administration. Other then the music, I've been going to college and plan on going to law school. I skateboard, and uh...thats about it. other then that, ive been in a serious relationship for the past two years, my family relationships are good, and well, basically im all around satisfied with my life.
with no thanks to hla.

i hope buccelato reads this and sees that realistically, his bullshit
"therapy" did nothing. If anything it has made me so opposed to therapy that i refuse to give it any credit as a valid way of helping people. I bet I am also not alone in that, and I'm sure most HLA graduates are also completely disgusted by the idea of therapy. all i see in all these posts are kids that really just needed to grow up. thats all i needed. not hidden lake. just maturity.

" i don't think we can do anything about it. we had a lawyer look at the issue but hla makes the parents sign some form saying they won't talk about the school or some crap like that... "

We can all talk about it as much as we want. As students we didnt sign shit and theres nothing they can do about it.

I hope Bucci reads this.

YOURE SCHOOL ABUSES CHILDREN!!!! SUE ME MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

Nice.  :grin:

[Trotto]

Even though your parents may have signed something that does not end the possibility of a lawsuit.  Many people have filed suits even though they signed waivers stating they would not hold the party liable.  It does, however make it more difficult. :smokin:

[RobertBruce]

Again not for us as students, we signed nothing. Furthermore its not as if the forms your parents signed were done so in good consciense. Its not like the school was exactly forthright about things.

[SHH Anon Classics]

What about you Mr. Bruce? How long ago did you attend? Did you sue or did your parents sue?

[RobertBruce]

Keep fishing if you feel its true.
Theres nothing else that we can do
to save you from yourself.
