CALO - Change Academy at Lake of the Ozarks / CALO
« on: June 22, 2010, 03:58:02 PM »
Been foucusing on bigger issues but what is the word on CALO. Here's mine.
Over the past several months, I've exhausted just about every legal option I have and only about 3 CALO parents are willing to move forward, simply not enough for the fight I'd hoped for.
CALO has done it's homework, and appears to have chosen the right state to operate in, very few laws governing their operation. No gvnt. entity willing to investigate, appears tax revenue and creation of jobs to important to the small resort community. Local papers biased to community, Local attorneys not interested in representing plantiffs, just defense.
Unless there is some major scandal, or more parents willing to up signficant time and $$$, CALO will most likely get away with what they are doing. Maybe in 10 years some poor kid will have a case.
Seems like the kids at CALO were/are correct, most parents are f'ing clueless and just want to forget about their troubled kids and the industry that exploits both parents and children.
Also, the dead or in-jail argument is true, don't fool yourselves. Not for all, but for some. CALO only made things worse.
Completely frustrated, am signing off. Will continue fight on own since no one else has the balls.
