Therapeutic touch: What is the safe zone at CALO?
Anonymous:
--- Quote from: "Che Gookin" ---I've heard stories about CALO cooks feeding the kids infected meat. Did this happen?
--- End quote ---
I've heard a story along those lines as well. That the meat was stored in the fridge for a highly unrecommended length of time (at least a week). That a lot of people got sick, especially the kids. Must be those young tender stomachs.
Was it Salmonella? Was it Staph. aureus? These are the two more common forms of food poisoning. Let's be thankful it wasn't botulism.
I think parents would do well to contact their kids regarding this incident. Or... were there more incidents?
Are parent-student communications monitored by CALO? I would hate for parents to worry that their concerns are prevented from being honestly answered.

Disgusting. Is CALO trying to save money? I thought they charged mucho $$$$$.
Che Gookin:
They do charge big bucks.. a sigh bit more than the average duckfarm. I'll confirm the amount, don't have it in front of me at the moment.

FYI CALO PARENTS
Before the molestation takes place, the perpetrator goes to great lengths to cement his or her relationship with the child to insure compliance. This behavior is called “grooming.”
In his publication, “Child Molesters: A Behavioral Analysis,” former FBI agent Kenneth V. Lanning lays out stages of the grooming process: identifying a possible victim, collecting information about the intended victim, filling a need, lowering inhibitions, and initiating the abuse. The good news is that there are several opportunities during the process for savvy parents to spot what is going on and put a stop to it.
Identifying a Possible Victim
The first stage in the grooming process is the identification of a likely victim. Pedophiles differ in their preferences regarding gender, age, and appearance, but almost every pedophile looks for a child who is vulnerable in some way.
Filling a Need
Once the pedophile knows a little about his victim, he steps into that child’s life to fill a need. Thus a poor child might receive expensive gifts, a lonely child might receive extra time and attention, and a child who feels unloved might receive unconditional affection.
Know the adults who play a dominant role in your child’s life. Be aware if your child suddenly starts talking about one adult more than any other.
Lowering Inhibitions
Next the pedophile begins working to lower the child’s inhibitions about sexual matters. He may make sexual comments, show the child pornographic movies or pictures, or manufacture situations where he and the child will be undressed.
At this stage, children sometimes become a little uncomfortable around the abuser. Watch for any changes in attitude towards an adult that has been important in your child’s life. Watch, too, for inappropriate sexual comments or interest. (E.g., “Mr. Smith says I have big boobs.”)
Initiating the Abuse
At this stage, the pedophile begins overt sexual abuse of the child. When the abuse occurs, many children show marked changes in their personalities and behaviors. Often they will look for an excuse to avoid the abuser.
When it comes to protecting your child from abuse, inform yourself about the stages of grooming and trust your knowledge and intuition. If you have any concerns about the adults in your child’s life, investigate further and, if necessary, put a stop to any questionable relationships. Anyone who truly cares about children will understand your desire to protect your child from harm and respect your decision.
