2026 Associated Press investigation

In 2026, the Associated Press published an investigation of Calo Programs based on interviews, lawsuits, and public records. The article reported allegations involving runaways, assaults, injuries, minimal schooling, and limited treatment, and it described state agencies and law-enforcement officials as having questioned aspects of Calo's operations, training, and transparency.

Calo denied wrongdoing in statements to the Associated Press and said its outcomes supported the strength of its treatment model.
