Exploring an Abandoned Children's Asylum - Found Restraints and Old Electronics!

[@sou1de3p]

I've said it before, but asylums are my favorite. The histories always intrigue me. A childrens' asylum has an extra bit of sadness factor tho. I'm glad people in our time recognize disabilities and most parents embrace their children no matter what. So sad to think how many kids were dumped there because they weren't "normal" and it was just "easier."

[@trip2uranus]

This!! It is so heartbreaking knowing how many children were robbed of their youth because their parents couldn’t handle the extra care.

[@sou1de3p]

@@trip2uranus exactly! I mean i have a friend that has an autistic son, a son with downs, and a daughter with spinabifida (butchered that spelling) and the daughter has surpassed all the Dr's expectations! She lived past 2 years, she not only walks but rides bikes, skates, does ballet.... All because her parents took the time and got her the surgeries she needed to help her. Those 3 kids are really cool kids. If it was another time, no one would even know who they are!

[@spiritmatter1553]

Their Medical Deities likely told them "it was for the best," and they went along with it. Times were different.

[@SausageSideways]

There's no way anyone would take my child from me while I'm still breathing. My son would definitely be in one of these places if someone else was his mum back in the day but he's no problem to me at all and I live for him. Even with other children and health issues myself ill care for him until my last breath. His vulnerability only makes him more in need of my care.

[@darkraven4467]

I definitely agree. As someone who has struggled with mental illness, Autism and schizophrenia, most parents would have dumped me in a place like this but I’m thankful that my mom didn’t. She still put up with me even though I was always a pain in the ass.

[@traintravel710]

I would like to express my appreciation for your KZbin presentations. I am a older fellow and have to tell you how much I find your subject matter extremely interesting. The quality that I admire the most is your knowledge, respect and at times your reverence for the places and history that is tied to your discoveries. Your interest and admiration for places and times of the past. Your purposeful ways of not disturbing what you find believe me does not go unnoticed. With all of the “ unappreciated “ things happening in the world today you young men are a credit to your generation. Keep up the great work and stay the way you are. All the best!

Well put. I like that they also don’t show anything too graphic: a number of other channels show remains of crime scenes or animals that are in horrific condition, and they generally don’t. I don’t follow too many channels on the topic for this reason... the gems can be quite quite hard to separate from those going for shock value. And, the fact that they give us the history of the location is a huge plus, as well as giving us the known future of the site.

[@lauriealderman96]

Those "restraints" were not a restraint chair, but a old wheelchair with positioning blocks and straps. It would be used for kids with cerebral palsy, etc. Many of the newer wheelchairs have improvements on these type of basic design. The ones that are have kids standing up and buckled at the feet, are called "standing tables".. they are also the same basic design used today. From a retired occupational therapist...

would they work for bdsm?

[@drshelkie4153]

Thanks for the professional input. Patients who were/are bedfast benefit from "standing up".

Yep, also known nowdays as "Standing Frames" my son has CP and uses one of these to weight bear, helps with hip and knee positioning as he grows.

[@danl3192]

Thanks for commenting. Lot of kids actually enjoy using this equipment. Might sound silly but there’s lots of things you can’t do when you’re sitting in a wheelchair and being able to stand up face to face and at eye level with other people is an experience we take for granted. I work with kids with CP and we have a older wooden one like this (not sure why, we don’t use it) and call it the Amish sitting chair or George Washington’s stander lol.

[@shottingham]

13:25 for reference Came here to say the same thing. These days, a lot of electric wheelchairs have the ability to operate like those frames and can 'transform' into standing positions. Cool stuff.

[@shanaw5445]

The straps on the seats and standers are for safety. They're present on modern medical equipment as well. My daughter used a stander to build strength in her legs before she could walk. She has straps for her feet on her wheelchair because she likes to kick her legs out when I go through doors, and I'd rather not break her leg accidentally. Not all "restraints" were for evil reasons.

[@fabiospzn]

Yeah, lots of people need “restraints” because they simply do not have enough strength/coordination to keep themselves on a wheelchair or other equipment.

[@shanaw5445]

@@fabiospzn unfortunately many of these misconceptions make it that much harder to get safe medical equipment for my daughter and others. I had to fight for a year to get a stander, and in the end they approved everything but the tray (which was what made the whole thing safe and actually useful), so the supplier just paid for it for us out of sheer frustration.

Both "bad" and "normal" are relative terms. Look at the people who live in the DPRK (North Korea). To them, that's normal.

My childhood was pretty messed up and the so-called adults who were supposed to protect me did anything but. It's all I knew, so it seemed normal.

Sometimes the standing wheelchairs were for kids who couldn’t stand/sit on their own so they might be placed in there for periods at a time to keep from getting bed sores.

[@eyiapandora3933]

Thanks for another great video :) The "restraint" chairs are likely early designs of chairs that are designed to support children with physical impairments to sit up in a more neutral and centred alignment to enable them to engage in activities (we have more modern versions of them today for use in therapy and everyday activities for children needing them), and the ones which look like they're to stand kids up in may be inversion tables (if they tip backwards - they appeared to have a pyramid frame that might indicate that they flip backwards). However, they could just be for assisting in standing positions as this can assist in digestive function, and maintaining/building bone and muscle strength for people who are otherwise seated all day. The short stretcher cart looking thing could possibly be a morgue trolley (cart) for children. Some places would have a trolley that looked like a trolley from the outside but have a section underneath to put the body so it wasn't so obvious to residents that the deceased were going by.

[@IconDevco]

all these years and its still a solid show

[@kristenmiller1296]

Special ed teacher here. Some of the "restraints" are actual standers. They are used by physical therapists and such to help students with mobility and muscular issues stretch out their body and use muscles they don't often get to use. For many students who use a wheelchair, this is one of the only times they are able to actually stand. They are able to be on level with their peers. There are straps to help hold their body in the correct position to both support them and so that their body does not move in a way that may hurt them.

Love the voice. It’s still calming and not like in a presentation tone like the other channels/youtubers.

[@alexbanks1142]

Actually been past this location a few times, but always been too afriad to go inside lol. Great video as always!

[@ianphilip6281]

Great video guys. Side note: We all know what happened to Flynn with a laser like that one. This *almost* seems a likely place to find a rogue radioactive source too.

Rumour has it there's a part 2 coming ... bring it on !

[@MrL4t3]

Or .. was this the second part to the previous ...

I just drove past this place a few weeks ago not knowing how expansive it really was. Great video

Those little microwave looking things are environmental test chambers. They’re refrigeration/heating units used to test products under various heat/humidity ranges & conditions.

Thanks for this. That one had me stumped

@Patrick McManus Autoclaves.

[@LifesAnAdventure2232]

@@watershed44 No autoclaves are used to sterilize medial equipment like instruments used for surgery

[@LorSTApunk07]

@@watershed44 They’re not autoclaves. I used to work in the office of a now defunct data storage company that had test chambers throughout their building. They can range in size to as small as a microwave, to as large as a walk in cooler. As part of our job we’d have to note any alarms on test chambers. They usually tested electronics/data storage stuff in them, to mimic real world conditions.

[@watershed44]

@@LorSTApunk07 Well it is a hospital. and it makes sense that they would need to sterilize medical and surgical items.

Awesome video! Your jam would make an amazing ringtone.

[@gregorymaine9615]

Great video, always wondered what was inside the abandoned areas of this facility. Spent plenty of time out there in the university operated areas though. Wish I knew you guys were area, I definitely would have bought you guys a round or two of beers for the many hours of entertainment you've provided me.

OMG all those old electronics would make so many awesome throwback steampunk PC's and microPC's!

[@AkitaSyn]

Amazing footage as always!

Use Geiger counters for locations with pieces of old imaging equipment. Even if the x-ray machines themselves are gone, the elements, or pieces of them, could still be present.

[@TonyP9279]

X-Rays aren't radio-active particles; they require an active current flow to produce radiation. With that being said, the radiology rooms may have tracer fluids like radio-iodide which are radio-active. I don't think they have a long half-life though.

[@makon2824]

@@TonyP9279 the machine's elements that emit the x-rays can, depending on the model and type of radiology equipment, contain radioisotopes such as cobalt 60. That, among others, is quite dangerous as it decays by gamma radiation. If the casing of remaining elements are compromised, traces of the radioisotope could escape.

What a sharp contrast between the peeling paint and the remaining dragonflies painted on the wall between the windows!

[@theposguy1435]

That's a neat place.. cool stuff to see.. Thanks for the video! I like the 1970z hand rail reminds me of going places when I was a kid

[@brendakrieger7000]

Another fantastic explore! Thank you for sharing and stay safe❤

[@Trembluer]

the amount of effort done in this video is amazing! Love from egypt

I love urban exploring videos, I love you guys's channel I love when you guys explore abandoned Hospitals and asylums.
