"To call them and inform them of what is being done to the detainees at CALO.
To hold them responsible, in some small way, for orchestrating the abduction, imprisonment, brainwashing and torture of another human being by putting the truth about them into the public sphere ."
So, how is it that you "know" what is being done to the "detainees" at CALO? And regarding these big words you are using: as a Vietnam War Vet, I think you know not of what you speak.
Not sure how many times I'll have to re-site this posting to prove this point, but this is how I came to know EXACTLY what torture means.
I wonder what its like to fall all over yourself because you realize there is a whole mess of people who see right through your bullshit and KNOW that you are a child abuser. My question is how you live with yourself... or is justification for violence just one of those things you learned back in nam?...
:sue:
A link to evidence against CALO, please? This is relevant to Casa By The Sea and High Impact.
Nice try WHO, you expect me to give away the strategy of a potential prosecution in order to convince you?... think not. Our source has more than enough confirmation from both staff and survivors to equate the methods used in this program to be as equally abusive as we have witnessed in countless other programs. Whether you choose to see it or not, there is a pattern within the troubled teen industry and that is the unethical practice of "tough love". they may all patent and package it differently but it still always boils down to child abuse.
And to be clear, my comment (and siting of my experience) was directed to prove the point that all to often program supporters will deny that the usage of the words like "torture", "child abuse" and many others referring to the fact that we were incarcerated without our consent or due process of the law, are in fact accurate. However based on my experience, as described, I think I have a fair estimation of what torture, child abuse and false imprisonment are, and how they apply to this industry.
Assume all you want that we don't know what we are talking about, that's your prerogative, however you should just sit back and be grateful you never walked a mile in our shoes, if you had you might be singing a much different tune.
