This happened a few times that I witnessed, I believe the punishment was called &#8220;the island&#8221;, but I am uncertain.<\/li>\n<li>Limited phone calls I don&#8217;t remember having many phone calls throughout any of my stays, and know for a fact they were not done every day. I am unsure as to whether it was on a schedule or not.<\/li>\n<li>Lack of proper supervision They certainly did not check on us every 15 minutes when in our rooms, as my roommate had been able to play a very long game of Truth Or Dare which lead to me being sexually assaulted. Not all rooms had cameras and I had been placed in one of those rooms, leading to an inconclusive case. The resident was given a &#8220;hotline&#8221;, which is a three strike system before they send you to Piney Ridge. But she was allowed to stay in the facility as the case was ongoing with me.<\/li>\n<li>Unit wide sedating As far as I am aware this only occurred in the subacute unit, some days when things got bad with a few patients they would sedate many or all of the patients in a unit, even if they had not done anything to warrant it. This never happened to me but I did witness it.<\/li>\n<li>Unwarranted restraint One day I had been restrained simply for asking to be left alone, and sedated for kicking at a door after being locked in. This is all illegal and does not comply with restraint policies.<\/li>\n<li>People below the age of 12 programming with the teenagers From ages 9-11 I saw at least 3 different children programming in the adolescent unit during the day, which led to a lot of trouble and more supervision issues for the rest of us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24871,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"acf":[],"cp_meta_data":{"_edit_lock":["1682889089:2"],"_edit_last":["2"],"_thumbnail_id":["24871"],"_fusion":["a:17:{s:25:\"show_first_featured_image\";s:2:\"no\";s:4:\"fimg\";a:2:{s:5:\"width\";s:0:\"\";s:6:\"height\";s:0:\"\";}s:17:\"post_links_target\";s:2:\"no\";s:7:\"bg_full\";s:2:\"no\";s:17:\"slider_visibility\";s:51:\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\";s:12:\"main_padding\";a:2:{s:3:\"top\";s:0:\"\";s:6:\"bottom\";s:0:\"\";}s:15:\"content_bg_full\";s:2:\"no\";s:20:\"image_rollover_icons\";s:7:\"default\";s:9:\"bg_repeat\";s:7:\"default\";s:35:\"container_hundred_percent_animation\";s:0:\"\";s:11:\"slider_type\";s:2:\"no\";s:9:\"wooslider\";s:1:\"0\";s:19:\"blog_page_title_bar\";s:7:\"default\";s:17:\"content_bg_repeat\";s:7:\"default\";s:13:\"posts_sidebar\";s:15:\"default_sidebar\";s:15:\"posts_sidebar_2\";s:15:\"default_sidebar\";s:14:\"sidebar_sticky\";s:7:\"default\";}"],"fusion_builder_status":["active"],"elegant_typography":[""],"avada_post_views_count":["465"],"avada_today_post_views_count":["1"],"avada_post_views_count_today_date":["26-04-2024"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24870"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
