Y'all will remember Jennifer (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=28551), the girl who ran away from CALO last year? I imagine her family wasn't too happy about how that all went down... The last we heard, Jen was eventually found, safe and sound, but was not going back (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=28665) to CALO.
Well... apparently... CALO is now suing her parents for breach of contract.

Requesting a post of the contract in question that was supposedly breached. Let's see this shit.

^this...

Anybody have a copy of the contract in question, or any news as to how this lawsuit is going?
-
Some info re. the case, from the link in the OP... The Michaels have filed a counterclaim, and there is currently a modicum of volleying back and forth between counsel for the respective parties. Gerard Harms is CALO's attorney; Matthew Hamner is attorney for the Michaels:

For those that remember me, sorry for not posting in almost a year. I completely forgot about this site when I got busy, then never remembered to pick it up again.
Anyways, what was the "breach of contract"? Does anyone know yet?

I imagine it may have to do with Jen's parents pulling her from the program (perhaps due to concerns re. her well-being, given that she was able to run away), and CALO deeming that a "breach of contract" (i.e., they wanted the full tuition monies paid regardless). However, I really do NOT know that with any certainty whatsoever; this is pure speculation on my part.
As far as progress in the case goes, as of just now, there haven't been any more updates in the docket entries. The most recent entry is still 04/28/2010, as noted in my previous post (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=29809&p=368550#p363778)...

ahh, I see. Well that makes sense to me. Something along those lines happened to me a few years back. I left a military school earlier than I was supposed to (about 1/3 of the way into the year), and they did the same thing. They didn't take us to court though. They said that if we didn't pay for the whole year's worth of schooling, then they wouldn't give me my transcript. So yeah... I was held back a year because of them being assholes. Since they wouldn't release my transcript, I had to re-take all the classes from the year before =/

I suspect that Ken Huey is less after money and more after intimidating the parent population. At that time there was quite a bit of up heavel in the parent population and I'm willing to be he decided to go after Jenn's parents as a warning to other parents. Or at least that is one of his reasons and I don't view him as one of those uncomplicated sorts.

Those "Certificates of Mailing" imply that CALO is suddenly unwilling to respond. I wonder why?

No, it merely means that certain documents were mailed - the official certificate of mailing has to be documented in the "docket" or the registry about the case.

hello i am a first timer on this site, my name is Jennifer Rose Michael. I am a former student from calo and multiple other treatment centers. Although it has been stated on many other occasions as i have see thus far, i ran away but did not get away for long. I was intercepted by the police fifteen days after my escape from calo. I was then returned to one of the previous programs that i attended, that was based in iowa. I am wondering first off how this site heard about my escape from calo and second how you have been getting information about me. I reciently turned eighteen and am wanting to know more about what i have been kept from for the past year or so. I am willing to give any information that anyone may be wanting from me. I was amazed at first that myself and my friend Tom were on this site so many times. I understand that there is a great interest in the safty of the teens of calo... but i must also admit in the same breathe that calo's primary concern is secrecy... if anything major would happen it was usually kept from the students unless it was need to know, or seemed that it would motivate a particular student. If anyone is willing to shed some light on the subject of what is going on with my adoptive parents or what you know about my friend Tom or myself please feel free to contact me more directly at my email adress jaierose@yahoo.com. Thank you to any potientally helpful people who may shed some light on what is going on with John and Rose and the such. Sencerely,
Jen Michael

Good to hear from you, Jen! I'm glad to hear you're out from under the thumb of those who think "they know best," and that you're in a better position to negotiate your own decisions regarding your life!
This all reminds me, I need to post an update re. your parents' case...
