is this were they kept ;sanity

reminds me of a lost childhood

there really is a heaven; or at least a way to get there. very good pic

notice the fine mosaic floor

Common sense spoken by someone who has been there. Good on ya, Big Ed!

At one place where I worked one of our fellows wandered off and fell asleep in an elevator and was missing for hours. Didn't know how to open the elevator door back up once he got inside and he was nonverbal, so he just took a nap. Luckily, no problems occurred, but it was a frantic 2 hour search and when we opened the elevator, we woke him from his nap and he glared at us for disturbing his peaceful slumber. :-)

When our folks get lost or hide, many of them are unwilling or unable to respond.

Another time, when I was a special ed teacher, a student in another class went on a short hiking trip with his class, wandered off, and was difficult to locate because he was echolalic (echolalia = repeating the words you hear others say, also called "parroting") so when they called his name he also called his name, and it just sounded like another searcher calling his name. The event ended without tragedy, but trying to locate an individual with a handicapping condition who has disappeared is a lot dicier than you might otherwise think (even if they WANT to be found).

It's just an empty case, it's from the barracks of Schwanksville which is in Spring City.

Wow. It still has carpeting? How awesome

The only picture that is really missing from the photo gallery is the one of the childrens ward! me and my buddy had something walk down the hallway from us while we were around in that area...

You know what the worst part is? every single flight of stairs that is in that place (or at least the part that i've been in) looks exactly like that... its sooooo easy to get lost in there. And as you go up higher and higher, it gets hotter and hotter... there must have been at least a 30 degree difference from the first floor all the way up to the fifth! and also it sounded like stuff was moving all around you at the same time, so it was pretty freaky

If any of you would like to know of a way in there, i have been in there before... many times actually! so if you'd like to know how to get in there or possibly meet up and go for a little tour of the place, i would happily show or tell you!

My father served on PC 1217 during ww 2. He would be sad to see it in such poor condition.

And will you be high then too?

That would be natural selection at its finest.

One possible reason for the widow to the hall might be, and I stress might be. Kids at state schools despite retardation, have a lot in common with"normal" kids. They like to hide. The little boogers can be really creative about it too. The window could be for the cursory search most places do, to make sure nobody's in the tub, floating or otherwise. It would allow the staff to come back and search more carefully, knowing that no one is drowned in a tub.

As for privacy, find a spot in any hospital that's truly private. Screens and such have uses and we do use them when possible. They can also be a hinderance in a setting that needs to be secure. If we miss a suicide. or an attempted suicide because of a privacy screen, there's a major problem there. Plus a wheeled privacy screen can be used as a weapon bits, and pieces of them can be swallowed.

Restraint is one of the tings we do when a situation or a person gets so far out of control they become a danger to themselves and others. These galleries depict technology from the past. The problem of seclusion and restraint is an ongoing problem in the 21st century. There is a nationwide initiative to reduce and eliminate retraints, and such where ever possible. Also to find ways to eliminate them where ever possible. It's a problem that's been there for a century or more.
