bayridge, I totally agree with you. I thought I'd come back to this site to see if any new people commented. And, i saw your comment. I couldn'tagree with you more.

It proves to show you that people are trying to understand adult cribs and their use. I just published an article on Associated Content titled; "A Safe and humane Way to Contain Your Mentally Challenged Loved One". Many found it to be quite helpful. Feel free to go to the site at www.associatedcontent.com and type that title in the search box if you'd like to see it. Perhaps, you could tell me if I could add some things. I'm thinking of making a series on the whole thing to serve as a helpful resource for caregivers. Take care.

Feel free to contact me if you'd like. My email is at waldorfpc@gmail.com. It is my business email: so its checked regularly. I hope to hear from you

T he reason for the windows looking in the wash rooms are simple. A lot of abused children would think they were not being watched while they took bathes and would try to commit suicide. Every so often a nurse would walk by to make sure the children were oaky.

I don't know, I think "cold and evil" are fairly good terms considering the information which had been given on this place:

"became notorious in the public eye for neglect and abuse toward the residents. Newspaper articles detail ex-employees tales of children without soap, clean clothes, sheets and even food; there were claims that some co-workers would beat the patients. They wrote how the foul smell of urine and feces was constantly lingering in the air, and many residents wore diapers and banged their heads against the walls for attention. A report was also published that a deaf woman, admitted in 1930, had been kept inside the hospital for 55 years, being misdiagnosed as "mentally retarded."

This reminds me of where I went to 8th grade... They did have stalls, but the doors were set so small and high up that they didn't really block anything. It was awful, I don't think I used the bathroom in school more than once... I was very relieved when they switched the upper grades to a different building.

Actually the fan is a hunter Zeph-aire I own one similar to it from my high school, though the grill is not osha approved either.

I was really enjoying these pictures.

The tube is an EDTA tube that prevents blood from clotting once drawn.

I must see this picture!

Thanks for sharing.

Very inspiring.

That's so sad Yaggy. My mother used to work with mentally disabled children in the Special Education class at the school she worked at. She came home one day crying; the child she had grown very fond of passed away the night before.

Actually, it's not that out of place. Maybe the staff just needed a place to cool down and relax. Its somewhat a lounge for them. They can go bowl when they need a break.

Thats somewhat bizarre. But I can see the use of it. Still, that'd look awkward walking into a room with adult cribs back when it was still up and about.

Woah.. There's another John here? ^^


Actually, I see a face too.

Oh my mistake. The toilet in the seclusion room appeared to have a cushion around it. Never mind that's not very comfortable.
