Elan really messed me up I feel that It was pure hell I can really relate to what you said and feel almost like a mirror image of how you have discribed yourself as feeling.I feel that you were lucky as to have only endured 8 months of this abuse I spent 19 months there before I was finally kicked out a broken person but not defeated I had won they had finally given up and I had not conformed.I attended from 83-85 and would like to talk about and share my experiences more with those that also endured what I have.
This is the first I have really ever spoken since leaving there and have just found this site,which blew my mind I just did not think such a thing existed it is nice to know I am not alone and was not the only one not brainwashed by my captors.

I was there from 84 - 85 and i can honestly say that it was one of the cruelist and most disturbing places i never want to be.
I developed a crippling fear and distrust for peopel, i never new anyone could be so sadistic and pray on the weak (speaking of staff and residents) I only wish it was like going away to camp and coming home with fond memories like the posters at alumni-dot.com

Peter Moore---how can you with any straight face or conscious state that Elan did more good than harm. You know better. Quit apologizing for Elan.

Right you are! When I was a scared, confused little girl of 18, I chose to put some distance between myself and the whole thing, geographically and emotionally and build myself a life. Now I'm a grown woman, proud mother of 3 girls--one of whom just turned 18--and I choose to take charge and run these sadistic bastards out of the public policy industry.

Dan,

Oh my God, NOW you have gone too far!

I have had a long fuse with you, but labeling me an apologist is one of the stupidest things you have done on this site.  First of all, read the thing: "Elan did ME more good than harm."  Not "Elan did more good than harm."

Second of all, is anyone who says anything remotely positive about Elan an Elan apologist?  I'm glad you're now the self-appointed labeler for everyone who ever attended Elan.  

Incidentally, being the Elan Apologist of the Day, I today told a media contact that I doubt I'd ever send my kid to Elan and that Tania Merette has no business being in charge of kid's lives.  Oh yeah, I also called much of the staff "a bunch of amateurs."  True apologist talk, huh?

I learned a long time ago that Elan is everything it has been made out to be.  It is, in the words of one staff member "heaven on earth," and is also, in the words of Michael Skakel, "a concentration camp for kids" and everything in-between.  It's up to opinion and individual experience.  PERIOD.  That's why I count among my friends people who support Elan's treatment methods as well as people who wish the place would suddenly implode and spare no directors.

And whoever Anonymous is, you ball-less wonder, you are truly "wet behind the ears." Otherwise you'd know to put your real name behind any mud-slinging.  You're a coward, plain and simple.

Back to Dan. I will never tell you how to feel about your experiences with Joe Ricci, please don't EVER tell me how to feel about Elan.

Peter Moore

Peter, please tell me the truth. Are you the same Peter Moore I used to correspond with over in alt.law-enforcement on Usenet?? Just curious.

No, sorry I'm not.  At least I don't think so.  I'm not familiar with any Usenet groups.
