truth is def. some fucked up wacked out staff working minimum wage stuck in lake ozark and convinced that he/she is doin some deed of God since most staff an ken are wackjob mormon freaks. i hate people who try to come on this board and argue my experience at calo, why the fuck would i lie? i got nothin to gain by lying an tryna run my mouth bout this place. i coulda forgotten bout this shit but a staff notified me of this site a former staff an i knew i should share an experience from that place from years ago. good thing i was pulled from there but i feel some anger for the kids who r held at this place. they gotta change shit over there, an i hope they do. so all these fake accounts of secret ppl workin for ken tryna accuse me of lying about this place or twist shit like calo is known for doing, i suggest u stop. i know theres shit u dont want let out that happnd at calo that i have heard from past students and old staff. i got enough respect not to fuck u guys over completely so respect wat i wirite about my time there. i thought u guys wanted the truth and honesty and being vulnerable lmao, i guess not u two faced fucks. have fun workin in a shit hole in the middle of bumblefuck missorui with rednecks, crazy adoptees and infertile couplez who place their "troubled" adopted kids in this shit hole.
"truth?!65" could also be a Calo parent or an edcon, either of who could be similarly invested in buying the program spiel from Ken... Could also be some  asshat from another program who likes to amuse themselves by picking on people who feel damaged, and who learned just enough calo-speak to pull it off for a sentence or two. There's a lot of sick people in this world...

calo parents are tha worst. they really turn the other way if there child is in a restraint and i saw that one too many times. if i saw my child walking away from a staff and they grabbed them and threw them on the ground for no reason except wanting a power trip, i would kick that staff directly in the face and haul my child out of there. but they have so much trust in this program they actually let strangers put their hands on their own kidz? thats some sick shit  ::puke::

so i guess my main question for you is do you just not like calo because they actually set boundaries, and being there forced you to deal, and be vulnerable? and why was rec therapy not therapeutic?
truth - obvs ur sum nutcase calo parent or an event mor nutcase therapist/staff/ken. calo RUIND my life. i repeat. RUINED my life. u shuld actually go learn sumthing and go read my post about my time by now years ago. if u want me to disclose who i am i will i don give a fuck.

ps i could be anyone from calo, and no one. a staff, a student, whoever. but i know what goes on there, and how it is a breeding ground for assholes who wanna power trip over a bunch of sick kids.

and also, i know ur language too much to recognize ur some wack job who works there. "be vulnerable" "forced you to deal" lmfao u work there n i kno it. pathetic.
I just love this phrase, "do you just not like calo because they actually set boundaries," ...when what these programs actually DO is strip down YOUR natural boundaries, in order to impose their own criteria of what it is you should and should not do and how you should behave. The intended end result being some facsimile of an appropriately cooperative child who resembles what a parent has been indoctrinated to believe is psychologically healthy, wholesome, and some sort of an ideal.

Of course, people have boundaries for good reasons. Natural, healthy, and utterly sane reasons, and to fuck with those is, quite frankly, tantamount to potentially effecting or enabling some really quite destructive dynamics, imo. If you teach a kid that it's wrong to put up barriers and that they are impeding the "therapeutic process" by doing so, you are setting them up for being taken advantage of. Either then or later.

If it doesn't feel right, there's probably a good reason for it.

Yes, some kids have very damaged abilities to trust, but to try to trash their instincts of self preservation and supplant them with your own dictates is a recipe for disaster.

Just my 2ยข, fwiw...

i was pulled from this program a while ago and this was the most disturbing place i have ever been. to put it bluntly, i was completely brainwashed, as most kids are there, that what they did was normal and okay. i am tired of living in silence on what calo did to my self esteem, and emotional state. i am not condeming places that help kids, but this is beyond sick. i told a close friend my experience there, and he was horrified. no contact with the outside world, humiliating group sessions where we called people out on personal hygiene or attitude adjustments. no normal human being would be able to withstand the feedback i would read "anonymously" from fellow peers who were crazy, (legit crazy), and staff members who were in love with the female students. there's nothing i can do, but to imagine that there are kids there suffering drives me insane. i don't wanna hear from any students who deffend it. im glad u got ur lil diploma and u feel that it gives u some authority over my opinion, but i dont care to hear from you. i didn't need a diploma to know that i was not crazy. not a bad horrible kid. conflict arose from my parents, but thats it. i never did drugs. drank, stole or anything. i am depressed, and unhappy with some of the conflicts i went through with staff, both physical and mental. i am lost right now.
Did you know Tom Riley?

i knew of him, yes.

i cant say why  i got pulled, because it wouldbe obvs who i am and i kno ken sneaks on here all the time. for reasons that r sorta personal i cant reveal who i am for right now. a lot of students get pulled because they arent making progress. ill be honest i can count only  on one hand how many success stories there have been at calo, and most go home and slip. i trusted my parents way less when i was pulled, still in shock that i was sent to a place like that at all. it damaged our relationship beyond repair. calo did not help me and i was open to it. i never once fought it. and the dog program is mad annoying. i hated golden retrievers after i went to calo, and  i love dogs.


yeh they r bans. regroup is esentially working or cleaning as a form of punishment. i dont give a **** what they try to tell u saying it helps clear ur mind, thas a lie. they do it to punish u. they can make  u work outside in the sun for hours its bad.


there were some girls and boys too who would flirt with staff or spend 2 much time with them and it looked weird. the staff usually were not at fault but this was poor boundaries by the students. there were staff that violated boundaries an they got fired immidiaetly. even some that had been there a long time. staff getting too close and/or having favorites is pretty normal. there was one girl there who everyone hated becuz she threw tantrums and no staff liked her. i thot this was unfair because she couldnt help it, but they really didnt like her. yet there were other girls who were loved by staff cuz they were either super mellow or they were super intimidating and staff feared them so they sucked up to the girls. not so much with therapists but floor staff. if i reveal what category i was in i would reveal my identityy completly. staff unfortuntly were also known to gossip a lot. they say its such an honest place but parents who r reading this STAFF LIE ABOUT UR KID A LOT. i knew on phone calls when staff would write things to say that never happened during the week when they updated my parents. no lie. the staff have to do notes on a student and if they didnt spend time with them during the day sometimes they just lie about stuff. it sucked. luckily my therapist who was the only real person at calo, had my back.




yes he was still teaching staff . i think him and another staff name joe do it. he def needs to quit he is just too much. and rec therapy was the stupidest not theraputic aspect of the whole treatment process, even tho it claimed to be so great. caleb if u read this do the kids a favor and retire. no 1 likes u.

i used to go to calo and have more than enough info on this placee
What kind of "more than enough info" have ya got? :D

As to the topic title, here are a couple of questions to start off with:

  • How long ago were you there? How long did you attend? (Feel free to be vague with your answers.).
  • What is entailed in being "placed on boundaries?" E.g., what kind of refractions get you there, as well as what do you have to do to get outta there?
  • Any insight as to why Mr. Wayne Juliano, CALO's former Academic Director, recently filed a lawsuit against CALO?

Thanks!


hey! well i am going to be super vague cuz i have reasons for not wanting calo to know who i am if any staff or ken lurk on here. i was a student there and my time spent was kinda short.i got pulled. i cant say how long. boundaries r basically when a student may have had an innaproprite or unhealthy relationship with a student or even a staff and it crosses the line to what calo felt was 'normal'. for example, i was a  female studnt n there were sum girls who flirted with the idea of havin relationships, they wer instantly put on boundaries. this meant no talking, communticae, and had to talk to them as if they werent ther if they refered to them. punishment could include regroup if this was broken, it depdns on the staff. oh and let me tell u staff most definitely had favorites. i saw kids who got away with so much just because they wer liked me the staff. there wer a few times tho that girls got 2 close with staff, n those staff were quickly fired.
mr. J as we called wayne juliano, was the nicest man ever. he was there for half of my stay, and then watched him get fired. it was told to us that he had a melt down and while it wasnt violent he freaked out and they had cops come to calo!!! i dont know if he did anything illegal n dnt wanna assume stuff but he was so nice! i think mostly calo just wasnt happy with him cuz sometimes he was a bit over dramatic and flamboyant, and certain higher ups didnt like that. speaking of higher ups i will give a shout out to the famous caleb who runs rec therapy- thanx for makin my stay miserable.
