--- Quote from: "The Elan Reporter" ---Michael should have been protected because the way this info got out was against his rights. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a group at elan be sacred and most imoprtantly protected under say like a hospital like paitent confidentiality? I don't condone what he did and who should face the consquences for it, but they way the info got leaked out and then Michael getting blind sided with it makes no sense how he was able to be legally prosectued for it. So what this means to me is, all the horror stories I heard in group, I can go run to the police or what have you and say " so and so said this in a group". I really believe Michael's rights were violated here.

No, it actually isn t.  Programs, groups, AA, etc., do not fall under doctor-patient confidentiality.

Thanks Paul that is a fact. There is no doubt that Michael was abused at Elan, I don't believe anyone would argue this.
