Why don?t you shut your man sucker and go back to the Alumni site? You guys are F-ed up. It?s people like you that should keep your bogus, self-affirmations, RAH-RAH SIS BOOM BAH, YAY ELAN, Delusional crap to your selves.
The crimes that where committed there (Élan) where by irresponsible ADULTS who where entrusted with the welfare, child development and care of abandoned, troubled and confused CHILDREN. Children that came from Poor uneducated backgrounds, Middle to Upper Class families who had been dispatched to Élan as if it were there salvation.
The crimes that where committed at Élan by it?s Staff, and where encouraged to perpetrate, by a Joe ?Dr. Moreau? Ricci, where heinous and inexcusable. Unfortunately, there are things like Statutes of limitations, for Civil and Criminal Acts. Unfortunate, children do not have the same Constitutional safeguards, afforded Adults, in most cases, that could have protected those of us that were victims of this diabolical Psycho-Socio experiment to see who they could fuck up and who they could save.
Horary for you! You were a member of Control Group A - the resident/Patient/victim/experimental subject member/ALUMNI that was dealt with fairly, who?s educational and sociological and developmental needs where taken into consideration. You came out on top and everything in life has worked out great for you. Your not in Prison, fighting with mental Illness, a drug addiction, dead or worst of all -- became an abusive MONSTER, that has gone on to abuse people that are weaker than you. Because my delusional friend that?s where I believe the people that were not as fortunate as you and the rest of the Alumni jack Asses are.
Those who were in Control Group B the ?Dispensable? people who?s fears, insecurities, mental illnesses were only made worse by the verbal and physical abuses, that were real and perpetuated by people they were FORCED to trust. People that came from an environment that was abusive -- to a condition that was harsher and more abusive, and didn?t give anyone slack for having low self-esteem or being a victim of there environment. Case in point ? I was in a house with a girl that cut-up all the time ? she was about 13 or 14 years old and was always ?playing games? with the boys. She would hurt herself all the time and break down and act out ? we had to always restrain this girl because you never knew what was going to go down. One time in groups I found out what her story was. She had been Sexually abused by her Grand Father, whom she trusted and was told to love, from age 4 to 12. This poor girl would constantly be wearing L.Es that said ?please confront me as to why I?m a WHORE?. GMs with 20- 50 screaming douche bags (residents and staff) calling her all kinds of F-ed up stuff. This, my delusional comrade was not THERAPUTIC it was mean, damaging and senseless.
Therefore, even after all these years ? the crimes were committed. They may not have been indicted and found guilty by a jury, but they still know what they did and have to look in the mirror, at themselves, every day. Look at O.J! Found not guilty ? yet everyone calls him a MURDERER ? funny how that works. Only thing is the truth is a complete defense to defamation. So I challenge anyone who was an Élan Staff member, past or present, to deny any claim, which was made in regards to their reported bad acts against a former resident of Élan.
This site is for those parents who are thinking of sending their most valued possession, their child, to a place that has history of abuse. However, this history is not recorded and criminal prosecution has never occurred. Why? ? Maybe because it?s all about the $$$$$$ that place generates for a state that almost went belly up a couple years ago and almost needed Government assistance to stay operational. So to you and the rest of the Alumni who have obviously forgotten he reality of ELAN ? and are walking through life like it?s a friggin Disney Movie. Shut up and don?t let the door hit you in the ass while you leaving this site.
Disclaimer ? I don?t have any proof of conspiracy at Élan, but it doesn?t take a genius with an I.Q of 70 (legally retarded in Maine and on the Alumni site) to do the math
