Questions for Calo Students

Were you ever abused by staff?
Do you think CALO was genuinely trying to help kids or were they just full of shit?

Does Ken Huey allow students to call the state abuse hotline if a student witnesses abuse? If not, what are his reasons?
--- Quote ---All staff members on CALO property are PCS certified, so they can put students in a hold. I've even seen our cook put a kid in a hold once. Therapists and administrators aren't an exceptions either. And as far as how long they last, it "lasts as long as it needs to".

The mindset "lasts as long as it needs to" really concerns me. This mentality casues serious injuries to children. It would make sense to call a supervisor to assist staff in preventing a restraint. Children respond better to a fresh face. This is not always the case though. Do staff call a supervisor as a proactive measure to prevent physical restraints? What is the longest you've seen another child in a restraint for?
I appreciate your willingness to answer questions. Thankyou very much.

--- Quote ---I'm not gonna lie, there's been a couple staff members who enjoyed holds, but those staff members didn't last more than 4 months.

Staff who enjoy holds is a serious problem. Did these staff provoke physical restraints? If yes, how did they provoke restraints?
--- Quote ---In fact, my entire stay in CALO, there was an average of 1 or 2 staff members being replaced.* Along with the disruption and having to move all the students away from the hold, staff also avoided holds because each one involved a good deal of paperwork.

What were the students reactions when they saw physical restraints?
--- Quote ---The student is always examined for injuries some time after the hold (unsually right after, but I've seen them take as much as 6 hours to get around to it). Any injuries are recorded, sometimes even if there is an injury that happened before the hold. The therapist and the parents are always alerted about the hold, but usually not right away unless the therapist is on campus at the time.

I assume physical restraint paperwork consists of (1) proactive measures to prevent a restraint (2) students state of mind prior to the restraint (3) reason student was restrained (4) when the restraint started (5) when the restraint finished (6) type of physical restraint conducted and (7) staff involved in the restraint. Am I correct?
I assume PCS restraints, from my research, consist of bent wrist control with sub variations. Am I correct?
Thankyou for your time and effort.

Very interesting about the green shirts. I heard Ken Hooey claiming they were voluntary for kids who need a bit more attention.
As for restraint happy staff lasting only 4 or so months? Are you kidding me? What about Brian and Kevin, aka the champion psycho staffers who love to inflicit the pain?
? Also what about Nick Llament who was fired because he didn't support Kevin who did a shit hold on some poor kid? I understood the kids at CALO had a high regard for him.

Well. In fairness he said they were mostly voluntary (if you feel down, you wear a special shirt and people are supposed to be nice to you, for example). He did say that there were cases where kids were made to wear them but recently claimed that they stopped that practice.
