I am glad that Jen is no longer on the streets or at CALO, and after an ordeal like this, tact and time to heal is needed but what would be priceless is to find out what happened and how she personally feels about all this.

Why did she risk her life to escape?

Were the conditions at CALO less than satisfactory?

Was she being physically and/or psychologically abused?

What was the reason she did not feel comfortable calling her parents for rescue?

Is she back home or on her way to a new program?

Anonymous:
Did she witness other children who were physically and/or psychologically abused?  The questions above are good.

Hello I am Jennifer Rose Michael better known on this site as Jen Michael... anyone having questions conserning me or what happened while at, while on the run or after calo, I would be more than willing to answer any questions, I am living with my sister i am eighteen and about to attend job corps, and am trying to move on with my life, although there is a blockade in my life, my adoptive parents john and rose michael, i will start by giving the information that calo was not the first or the last RTC that i attended, they were looking into such placements since i was seven and they accuired costody of me from my mother who did not have a snowballs chance in hell paying for the legal bills, i was told my whole life one story, your mother is a druggie, was not a "good" person, and that she abused me since gaining contact with my half sister i have found everything that i have been told in life is a lie so, trying to shed light on parts of my life that were blackened by the lies of people who said they had my best interest in heart i hope to slowly move forward with new information on what is known of me. While attending calo, Ken, john and rose, and the therapist Amanda that oversaw my life there made a triangle and put me on a blind end. I was not allowed to contact john or rose,(not that i wanted to after a while), even when i took the routes that i was told to take such as asking for a phone call, it would not be forwarded to john and rose. Due to one thing or another in therapy i was consistently placed in a green shirt, after gaining a closer relationship with one of the male students, who i am currently dating, i began to realize that calo was minipulating the students to work and blinding the parents to the faults of the program. On a few occasions i had boundries placed on me, one time in particular they were so severe that i was not allowed to talk to anyone including the staff, if i broke the boundries i was placed on regroup, i was not allowed to show emotion either. The mentality of calo is break or be broken. There is another occasion that i feel i must air also. On a former page i saw that it stated that there was a student with a consussion who fell taking out dogs and nothing was done. Iwas that student, and that was not the situation. After a group therapy the group went out side and to go get a ball i was running down the hill, my shoes were not put together well anymore so the sole was falling off, i tripped and tried to pick up speed, i face planted and was knocked out for about a minute, the staff did not come down the hill, i got about half way up and could not see because of the blood that was in my eyes, the staff finally got to me and assisted me back into the facility, i was the seen by the nurse, i was told that Ken would be contacting my adoptive parents. He did not i was not taken to see any doctors or to the ER, the left side of my face was removed by the asphalt, and i had chuncks of rock in the skin that remained. Two male staff held me as the nurse removed each pebble and rock, and also as she cleaned my face. i was placed in a green shirt, and that was the end of it. If anyone had questions about calo that they want or questions they have about me they want answered i will be more than happy to do so.
