A birdie came to me and sat on my shoulder...

It whispered into my ear..

Che.. Che.. you sexy thing.. I saw your sig... I work and I repeat, "I work at CALO and they have done me wrong."

Well not a direct quote, but none the less...

The little birdie asked me, "What can I do to help?"

I replied, "Send me your documents."

The little birdie has delivered:

First five pages...

I'm sure it is, but do these dogs get to enjoy hour long pressure point holds like the kids do?

Not sure why pages are missing, but I'll ask my contact to provide them if they can.

There are people who don't believe the extreme, sadistic abuse reported by survivors could occur in an RTC.

They think:

"Some state agency has to oversee programs for teens. I thought a place had to be licensed to work with kids. right?"

Ya think?  No state or Federal agency claims full responsibility for overseeing private RTC's.  Programs call themselves  "academies" and "schools" to avoid potential run-ins with the Dep't. of Mental Health and license issues.

"The parents would know if their kids were being abused from phone conversations or letters"

Some parents do know about the abuse and want the debasing and torture kicked up a notch, or wish they could join in.  Most are clueless because there is no unmonitored communication with their kids and the program's  "professional" team tell them the kid is playing the parents as suckers, they're weak if they cave to his narcissistic manipulation and withdraw him, and premature withdrawal limits your child's future to two possibilities:  death or jail, either result reached in some horrible, sick way with the selfish intent of bringing shame upon the family's good name in the community.  No one wants to be the parents of a Columbine Kid.

"No one could even treat a dog like these kids say they were treated"

That's true.  Dogs are free from coercive treatment/physical abuse at CALO and any kid would gladly take a dog's place.

Quote from: "CALO Coach's Handbook, pg.19"
If the dogs try to relieve themselves indoors, they should be led outside right away and not yelled at, spanked or hit.

Quote from: "CALO Coach's Handbook, pg. 14"
Administering staff is to be aware of symptoms indicative of tardive
dyskinesia, a neurological syndrome caused by the long-term use of
neuroleptic drugs. Neuroleptic drugs are generally prescribed for
psychiatric disorders, as well as for some gastrointestinal and
neurological disorders. Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by repetitive,
involuntary purposeless movements. Features of the disorder may
include grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, puckering and
pursing, and rapid eye blinking. Rapid movements of the arms,legs, and
trunk may also occur. Involuntary movements of the fingers may appear
as though the patient is playing an invisible guitar or piano.

That's not forthcoming with the facts about the effects of Tardive and it's variants, which can be permanent:

Quote from: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardive_dyskinesia"
"Other closely related neurological disorders have been recognized as variants of tardive dyskinesia.  Tardive dystonia is similar to standard dystonia but permanent."

"...Tardive dyskinesia may persist after withdrawal of the drug for months, years, or even permanently"

What neuroleptic/antipsychotic meds are being used at CALO?

Quote from: "CALO Coach's Handbook, pg. 14"
Storing and Administering Controlled Medications
Controlled medications include, but are not limited to the following:

o Clonidine- (Clonidine is used to treat Tardive, not a neuroleptic)
o Strattera - (Non-stimulant for treating ADHD)
o Adderal, Ritalin, Dexadrine, (amphetamines, not neuroleptics/antipsychotics)
o Zoloft., Paxil, Wellbutrin, Focalin Prozac, Fluoxetine (Antidepressants)
o Metadate (ADHD Medication)
o Lithium (Mood stabilizing drug)
o Concerta (ADHD Med, narcolepsy med, other off label uses)
o Zyprexa  (atypical antipsychotic, can cause tardive)
o Muscle Relaxors (That's too vague, but muscle relaxers don't cause Tardive)
o Depakote (Epilepsy treatment, treatment of manic/bipolar, not a cause of Tardive)
o Narcotics (narcotics don't cause tardive, but "Narcotics" is too damn vague a description)
o Trileptal (anticonvulsant/mood stabilizing treatment, not a cause of Tardive)
o Risperdal (atypical antipsychotic)


Risperidal and Zyprexa are the only two atypical/neuroleptics CALO claims, but this list "is not limited to" what is shown.

Remember:

Quote from: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardive_dyskinesia"
Tardive dyskinesia most commonly occurs in patients with psychiatric conditions who are treated with antipsychotic medications for many years. One study reported that within the first four years of using antipsychotic medications, 18.5 percent of young adults develop symptoms.

The use of antipsychotics on children as chemical restraints must stop, the risk is too great.

They tell the staff : Fake it till you make it ?!?

Thats hilarious!

What a great approach...

It only shows, who works at CALO - really educated professionals, right.. :jawdrop:




From their web :

Closeness is communicated by students wearing a green shirt/sweatshirt. The shirt/sweatshirt helps all recognize the need for the students to be kept safe and assisted in regulating their emotions, affect and behavior.



That is all the parents learn about green shirts...not a word about the reality of it.
