Seems like Femanon has it right, the rest of you need help, and I am not looking for your support or to convince you of anything. I don't need you to tell me I'm right or wrong or to make assumptions about things, that you have no clue what you are talking about.
I am seeking out parents and children who have direct experience with CALO who can truly expose them for what they are and hope it doesn't happen again.
The rest of you seem like kids that do hate their parents or have been in these programs but have not learned a damn thing that your parents were trying to teach you before you got placed there.
Quite simply, it was the bad behavior that got you there. So how are your ramblings going to help from someone else getting put into CALO. Difference between you and me boys. What are you doing? Because I wasn't the one who put my child in there, you got that from now on?
For those "real" parents that have tried everything to help these kids, we are rewarded by exactly what you and the rest of the so called professionals do. You blame the parents. Where is your accountability?
It's easy to blame the fact you didn't get your wheaties or you weren't breast fed or your older sister got all the attention, isn't it. When push comes to shove, it's all an excuse.
There has been alot tougher people in history that have overcome much more worse situations than yours.
In my household, my childrent are my life. Adopted and/or RAD children have been loved and treated equally, even more than the biological children. We have spent 85% of our time on the RAD kids and the remaining on the natural children. And what are we doing to the other children that only get the 15%. What new disorder is watiting to be named for them by the "professionals"
So if RAD kids have most of our attention, treated equally well or better, have been made part of the family, why do they continue to hurt the others.
Well here's the answer, 75% of RAD starts off in the womb and for the 1st 3 years of life. By the time they come to us. 75% of the damage is already done. These kids hurt and they don't know why and they want others to feel their pain.
So for all you litte hate mongers...it is not our fault your parents were junkies or didn't give you the nurturing necessary for babies to bond to and trust their parents. We are the ones trying to help you.
After all, I don't do drugs, my natural childrent don't do drugs but the RAD ones do. All kinds too.
I don't molest children, but the RAD kids do. The natural ones don't
I'm not out breaking the law, skipping school, scarring my body, destroying other peoples property and lieing like it's no tomorrow. No judgments here "Guest" it's a fact.
I care for others, yet the RAD cares for only what they want. Immediate gratification.
It's your actions that got you landed in places like CALO. If your parents are as bad as you say, why aren't they in jail. If you've learned this from them as you claim then they should be in jail, along with the ones that perpetuate this lie, meaning CALO.
I'll bet your parents warned you constantly that this was going to happen, but guess what, you didn't listen and you didn't care. Well here it is. I don't like CALO as much as you. I certainly don't like the asshole parents that may have abused you, I down right detest the junkie, no good parents that abandons their child.
Just don't blame the ones who tried to help. When you are 18 and continue to act the way you have, you can look forward to a life spent in jail, this is not my opinion this is simply a fact. A judge won't care your parents were assholes. So grow up become real men and women and don't continue the cycle that you are a part of. Learn from it and take some damn action like I am instead of just complaining about it all the time.
