hmm	posted 11/12/05 3:34 AM     HLA was not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be... maybbe it's time to re-evalute the situation and figure out how bad off you would be if you'd never have gone there...

Mother	posted 1/30/06 9:56 PM     What I find sad, contrary to the minimal number of children who complain that their lives were RUINED are the few people who step up and point out most of these kids were spoiled to begin with, and were annoyed they were not allowed to continue their mis-behavior -- which, by the way, was the reason they were sent there in the FIRST PLACE. Grow up, you little brats. You sicken me. Oh, and thank you very much, my daughter came out of Hidden Lake quite happy and enjoying the world around her -- she had been suicidal two years ago. As for some of these absolutely ridiculous stories I'm hearing -- gad, how dramatic, and completely deceitful.
ac	posted 2/18/06 9:31 PM     Look at all the children still trying to "Manipulate". Isn't that one of the reasons you were sent to HLA? GROW UP!

Don't worry	posted 6/12/06 4:52 AM     Wilderness treatment although it can be tough, is more than safe and can be an awesome benefit to the kid. Similar to NOLS or outward bound just with more structure and confidence building stuff. Don't stress they will be fine

Charleen	posted 7/18/06 0:49 AM       This joke of a school isnt the righ way to change your kids. The staff are bitches and the nice ones get fired. The counselors couldnt give 2 shits about the children or what punishments they give them. I went to this pieca shit school fo 4 months unfortunately and i didnt learn shit. Believe me i tried.... when ur stuck in a place like that u definitely consider all tha positive aspects of ur situation. I dont think i ever thought of suicide until tha day i came to HLA. And then after like a month when they knew i had come out of ASPEN ACHEIEVEMENT ACADEMY (difficult wilderness program)they sent me to ridge creek because gillian (one of my counselors) which, by tha way i hope that bitch gets raped one of these days, thought i needed to be sent to a wanna be boot camp. Well if your reading this i want u to know that ur a stupid fuckin whore of a bitch and i would like for u to come to my house so i can start bombin on ur ass cuz i hate u so much bitch. You thought u could brainwash my parents and drain my dad of his money but they came to their senses and took me out bitch so u must have felt like a dumbass huh? Bullshit ur tryin to help people. cuz if u were u would have started a good relationship with me so i would gain respect for you which leads me to following the rules. treating like a child only made me act like one u dumb trick. And then of course there is FALL OUT!!!! this one was special.... of course a good alternate name for that would be..."narc out" or a little more specific "rat on your friends" the only way these idiot counselors could know what the hell is going on is by blackmailing everyone. u better have hoped u didnt know of anything going on that was against tha rules or u got fucked in tha ass. SO basically coming to tha conclusion that u get sent to this place that is new with no1 u know no friends or family and u have a strict daily schedule that never changes, get put on "bans" (have to stay away from some1 and cant talk to them) if you become too close to anyone as a friend or significant other and you get on restrictions and the staff is constantly trying to find new ways to get you into trouble like leaving your curtains open??? God theres so much more im too lazy to write but one of tha main ones is tha food.... its freken horrible! imagine eating tha same boxed frozen food everyday for 2 years or however long ur there. Tracy was the only person there i was catually happy around. Jennifer Nowicki ima look ur ass upone day and fuckin teach u a lesson bitch. Just because u had a hard time in life with the way u look and ur nasty body and personality doesnt mean u should become a control freak. Doing what u do i bet ull become a child molestor or some shit u fuckin ugly whore. Please respond to this bitch i really wana hear what u or anyone else at that fuckin dump has to say pleaseee. Anyway for all u dummies with your comments tellin us to "grow up" n shit, go fuck yourselves, attend tha school for yourself and then open up ur ignorant mouthes. anyway thats all fer now... adios mother fuckers
joel	posted 7/18/06 9:15 PM     This is for Charleen; maybe you could make something of yourself if you learned how to spell as well as you curse!
Cecil	posted 8/14/06 7:48 PM     Charleen: the only thing posts like yours accomplish is solidify WHY you bounce from program to program. Look at how you act and speak. It's pathetic and sad. No one feels any empathy for you, or anyone else on this board screaming and cursing about "mistreatment"; take a step back and realize you went to these places because you're idiots to begin with.

BLT	posted 2/23/07 6:03 PM     I intend to get involved with this lawsuit asap. This school needs to be shut down. The people who work there are sick and anybody who defends it is just as sick. So much shit goes on there and it needs to stop. I wouldnt wich HLA upon my worst enemy. Luckily my parents realized what this school was up to and pulled me.
RAMBO	posted 6/21/07 6:19 PM     HLA WAS BUILT FOR ONE REASON; MONEY! THE FOUNDERS KNEW THEY COULD USE (MANIPULATION) TO CONVINCE DESPERATE AND EXHAUSTED PARENTS THAT HLA COULD SAVE THEIR CHILDREN. BROCHURES MAKE IT OUT TO BE A SUMMER CAMP. IN REALITY ITS A BOOTCAMP. I NEVER GOT PHONE CALLS FROM MY SON AND WHEN I DID THEY WOULD ABRUPTLY INTERRUPT AND SAY HE WAS HAVING TROUPLE EXPRESSING HIMSELF, SO ON AND SO ON. HE LATER SHOWED ME LETTERS I HAD WRITTEN HIM WITH MARKER LINES THROUGH WHOLE PARAGRAPHS. THE INTENTION OF THE STAFF HAS ALWAYS WORRIED ME. MONEY AND CONTROL SEEM TO EXCITE THESE PEOPLE. HMMM. THE COUNSELORS WOULD CALL AND LIE EVERY PHONE CALL. EITHER HE IS BAD AND THATS WHY HE NEEDS THE STRUCTURE. OR HES DOING GREAT AND THATS WHY HE SHOULD STAY, HES GROWING. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF RESTRICTIONS OR CHALLENGES, WORK PROJECTS, SMOKE SESSIONS, FALL OUTS, ISO. IF YOU PULL YOUR CHILD YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR DEPOSIT AND FORGET ABOUT TRANSCRIPS. HLA'S BIGGEST ALLY IS BY FAR THE EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANTS. THEY HAVE FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN EACHOTHER. BASICALLY IF SO AND SO GOES TO HLA BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN ED CONSULTANT RECCOMENDATION THAT CONSULTANT GETS PAID WITH YOUR CHILDS TUITION. ALSO HLA FITS MORE OF A MOLD FOR EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED CHILDREN, CUTTERS SUICIDALS ETC. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY YOUR CHILD CAN ATTEND. THEY ACCEPT ANYONE AND EVERYONE. THEY HAVE DO AND WILL MANIPULATE THE FAMILIES. THAT IS THE EXACT THING THEY ACCUSE THE CHILDREN OF. THEY LIMIT CONTACT WITH THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SO THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, ONLY WHAT THEY TELL YOU IS GOING ON. IF YOU TRULY DISLIKE YOUR CHILD SEND THEM TO HLA, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP THEM RE-EVALUATE YOUR OPTIONS.
MS	posted 6/12/08 7:45 AM     I went to HLA and I have more physical and psychological problems now than I have ever had in my life. I had to get on medication for stomach problems, anxiety and panic attacks, and another disorder I wish not to mention. I now attend the University of Florida, and I have had close to a 4.0 GPA my entire life. So, I am not some person who is rebelling and sending out hate messages to everyone that worked there. All I know is that place does more damage than anyone who didn't go there could possibly understand. It's illegal. It's sadistic. It's just wrong to treat kids that way. I know people that came out of there just fine, but for people like me who had a pretty damn good life going into that place, the end result is very VERY sad.
concerned	posted 7/26/08 8:15 PM       Do not believe the horror stories. Do not believe the kids who say they were mistreated or harmed. Kids there go to class, hike, play music, see movies, have three basically nuturitional meals, have group therapy. They laugh, enjoy each other and have some excellent teachers and counselors. On the other hand the administration is incompetent, greedy, unethical, and twisted. Fortunately most of that does not trickle down to the students directly. What does is the lack of equipment, materials and the level of competency of teachers. There are not enought text books, but the administration hires a developent director to plan fund raisers for unneeded items. No one knows how much money is raised, so there is no accountability. Competent people are fired when they realize what is going on and those who stay are complicit in the misuse of funds, the mismanagement of records and the napoleonic leadership of the president.
Justin Hamilton	posted 7/31/08 0:56 AM     I agree totally with the last statement and will add that the school has a provisional license and falsifies information to maintain accreditation. It has also covered up an sexual abuse problem with a counselor who resigned and then helped the male student with whom he had a relationship run away from the school. The counselor had been allowed to take the student off campus numerous times without other staff supervision. They falsify information to make the school look more successful than it is.
JC	posted 8/13/08 9:27 PM     Understanding your frustrations please take some time to cool down and grow up. Being a part of PG47 I have had first hand experience of what HLA can bring an individual. Stephanie and I can confirm many horror stories, such as limited of food intake during “restrictions” or beatings that occurred during nightfall. Due to extreme conditions HLA was forced to evaluate every candidate on an individual basis. These being a side note I still consider myself a success because of HLA. If my parents didn’t care enough about me to send me to a place like HLA I would either be dead or working a dead end job. As of today I am an aeronautical engineer designing cutting edge technology on a military contract for Lockheed Martin. No I am not in the military but I develop super sonic aircrafts for the government. With that said I am also a sponsored Body Builder hoping to go pro in the next few years. None of this would be a reality if it weren’t for people such as the counselors’ at HLA or especially my family. So all you little kids who are still trying to figure out how to grow up, HLA provided the tools, it’s whether or not you use them for you’re benefit.
Mary	posted 8/27/08 3:55 AM     Whoa! First of all, to the "Mother" who thought it appropriate to call posters 'little brats' that 'sicken' you: nice mouth lady. You come across as super maternal and caring...Christ. Second of all, the "horror stories" are probably a mixed bag of truths and hyperbole, but some of them ARE true, and as long as you're willing to send your kid somewhere like HLA it is your responsibility as a parent to take them all seriously... unless your child's safety ranks low on your priority list. It seems a bit strange that some of you are claiming the program works wonders on one hand, while accusing the students on whom these wonders were worked of lying and manipulating on the other... Third, survivors: If you have a story to tell and want to be taken seriously at all, you really need to express yourselves with civility and maturity... and spell check. Why did you post here? To bitch and threaten and use profanity to the point where it carries no meaning? OR, did you post here to educate some people, maybe get your point across to a confused parent, and hopefully save some kids from going through what you went through? Finally, while it is obviously not literally the worst place in the world, the truth is this: HLA IS a horrible place where mentally, if not physically traumatic events occur. Heres another hot tip: Soylent green is PEOPLE
mj	posted 9/5/08 10:24 PM     I think it is very sad when a parent gives up on their child and sends them to a place like HLA. I know of a child who was sent there and I am very scared for them after reading all of the posts. This child was a good kid, his parents(dad) expected way too much out of him and didn't want to be bothered. Its a lot easier sending a check every month than parenting. I only hope and pray this kid makes it out of HLA o.k
