I'm not going to quote the long post with all the links. Just too much scrolling required. But the questions I asked were not answered. The links had nothing to do with CALO. I asked for links that would show that torture exists at CALO. You gave me a lot of links concerning kidnapping, psychological damage, blahblahblah, but oddly, there was no mention of any of this occurring at CALO.
Again I ask: How did your beef with CALO originate? Why are you so stridently determined to attack the school and, ironically, its STUDENTS you claim to be so concerned about. You say I should educate myself about these abductions. Isn't that what I'm trying to do? I am sincerely trying to find out what happens, if students are woken in the night and dragged out of their homes with hoods over their head and shackles on their arms and legs, and transported to CALO. You claim they are abducted, but when asked, you refuse to back that up. So please educate me.
Have you visited this school? Have you seen reliable reports that the students are being held prisoner, which is, as you said "EXTRADINARILY DAMANGING" (by the way, if you use Firefox, you'll have a built-in spell checker, which may give you more credibility as to your own education).
Please show me where I said the school is "fantatic," or even "fantastic." I said I like the idea of the students bonding with dogs. Aside from that, I know nothing about the school. In fact, I think you probably know less than I do, since you can't answer any questions about it. You seemed to have jumped on a bandwagon without knowing where it's going.
I know, when you cannot think soundly enough to respond substantively, you gotta focus on the typos.
Poor, sad, creature... if you weren't such a moron you would have noticed I ANSWERED your question. To restate myself:
our "beef" with Change Academy STARTS with the FACT it abducts and holds people prisoner.
That is a SERIOUS issue, and quite enough to generate “beef.” Dontcha think? Or perhaps I should kidnap and imprison you a couple years to give you some free insight into the issue.
It continues beyond that, of course, but to save myself a lot of linking and explaining things to an idiot that answer is more than sufficient
Curious, since you have no “dog in this fight” how did you come to this corner of the interweb, a forum for survivors of the “troubled teen” abduction, imprisonment, and torture industry, and the folk who earn their keep in that peculiar institution. Feel free to be creative with your unlikely story.
Well, I think there IS a moron in this conversation, but it's not me. You certainly did NOT answer my question. Your "answer": "
our "beef" with Change Academy STARTS with the FACT it abducts and holds people prisoner." I asked for links that would show evidence and reliable research connecting CALO with this. It's not a FACT unless you can back it up. It's not a FACT just because you say it's a fact. I could tell you that it's a FACT that the moon is made of green cheese. According to your logic, that would make it true. Who's the moron?
I came to this "corner of the interweb" because I heard that someone was posting personal information about teenagers in a private school, including some of their treatment reports. I wanted to see for myself what kind of person would do such a thing, hurting a child he claims to be trying to protect. Or are those kids just collateral damage in your personal little war that's based on "FACTS" that you can't back up?
Again, how many interviews have been done with CALO students, past or present? Do you have photographs of staff using this bent wrist maneuver, whatever the hell that is? And I ask again, just how are these students "abducted"? I remember a kid who was going to his first day of kindergarten. His mother took him to the school and left him there, and he screamed bloody murder for the three hours until the half-day was over. It seems, if I were to follow your specious logic, that that kindergartner was abducted by an unfeeling parent, and held hostage by a kindergarten teacher.
My younger daughter went to a boarding school because she was doing badly in our local public school which wouldn't acknowledge that she had problems focusing. She and I went together and looked at two boarding schools. One was very preppy and all the kids were wearing clothes that I could tell had designer labels inside. Not the place for my daughter. We went to visit the second school, and it was completely different. My daughter would receive much more individualized education, and would learn responsibility because it was a working farm and all the kids had jobs that rotated. It was very artsy. Everyone had barn duty at some point, which meant getting up at 5 a.m. and milking the cows. Now when I took my daughter up there, she was not happy. She wanted to be back at her old school with her friends. She called me daily for awhile, wanting to come home. So, according to you, I "abducted" her although she actually put herself into the car, I took her to a place where she didn't want to be -- because I knew better than she did that she would be better off there, and I allowed her to be held hostage by some cows. Well, it didn't take long before she loved the school, and has never regretted going there. But the FACT apparently is that she was abducted and held hostage.
Please tell me how you know this "FACT" that students at CALO are abducted and held hostage. Links, please, to reliable sources with irrefutable evidence. Thank you.
