Camarillo State Hospital Employee Orientation Pt. 3

[oldgasjocky]

I getting way behind here in noting the times that you all made your entrys in this log about CSH. How funny... I was there to from late 1965 to mid 67. at the time I was 11 years old with mostly emotional problems at home the usual suspects like getting trouble in school and all that. I want to say hello to all of you! I was located on the CU-4 cottage with Myron D. S sanferd, D. Duncan, J, Cavoso... ring any bells? How about M. Bean?? and his roving A Key...

OMG I actually forgot all about this place. I was put in there at about age 9 (1966?) for over a year due to behavior problems. Most horrible year of my life. I agree with ZNBNZ... never saw a pool or petting zoo. BUT, upon reflection, I remember they assigned me a "Big Brother" who molested me (thanks a lot for that, by the way).

they never had a pool or petting zoo it was hell for me as well from age 10- 22

it really got bad around when they pushed active treatnment on us. we had scads of supervisors coming round to watch their new deranged plans such as active treatnent which meant constant total interaction with themon the whole they got better treatnent in st hospitals then in private ones. , constant meaningfill interaction a. it was levels of hide n seek and act like academy awards, znbnz yu didnt belong there.these are difficult tards in state hospitals and supervised closely usually.

LMFAO!

I was a patient at Camarillo

Went there when I was 8-10yo(83-85)

for behavior problems. Total hell!

Never swam, never went to a petting zoo.

I was force fed Haldol and physically and sexually abused by the clients and staff.

Now I have PTSD and major depression.

You SUCK Camarillo!!!!

I don't recall any physical abuse but I do recall my psychologist using some of the most vulgar language I had ever heard. Seemed odd to hear an adult use profanity while speaking to a minor that was worse than what I'd heard at regular school.

@ZNBNZ you are very right i was a patient there from age 10-22
