I work in a residential lockdown facility for children 8 to 18 with severe behavioral problems and trauma. Been on the job little over a year and a half . We have 6 units with about 24 clients each and I'd say at least one client from each unit on each shift, 1st 2nd and 3rd, attacks a staff member. That's an average. Some days all hell breaks loose and we have to call the sherrifs because we dont have the staff to restrain all the violent clients attacking people. Other days everyone is pretty chill and things go pretty smooth. In my time I've been jumped probably 3 times by a group of clients, been bitten where it broke the skin, stabbed with broken pieces of plastic and wood slivers, had anything and everything thrown at me, sprained joints from scuffles, jammed knuckles, bruises, cuts, scratches, been peed on, spit on, had feces and semen thrown at me and worst of all am currently recovering from a broken femur. 10 year old client was trying to run away and while chasing after I fell and broke it. That's only 18 months.

The property that they paid for legally you mean? Yeah, I can see how that might be a problem in the selling process if homeless junkies are already living there. Not all junkies are homeless and not all homeless are junkies but A LOT are and OP admitted to being caught with Ketamine. He also said they caused damage to the property and I'm sure we're in no way made to reimburse the owner or clean the mess.

I had zero exp when I started. Just a psych degree. Was there for 18 months when I broke my leg. I've been recovering for 4 months.

Did you see those things? I know they're well known events.

It's not easy. They need someone to help them. I wont be doing it forever. I'm currently doing job shadowing with the clinical department to be a behavior analyst.
