Mitchel K. actually contacted me last year and seemed to be doing well. I was kind of shocked, since of anyone I had some of the biggest reasons to hate him. Still, I just said I hope he's doing well.
Raerae, us both being peers of his, he may have been young, but he needed help bad. Not saying that Elan was the place for him. I think he would have been better suited at another kind of long term program, preferably where he couldn't hurt anyone. As far as his mom dying, he pulled that trump card for sympathy, but he would never mention that she found out she had cancer, when she went to the hospital because he broker her leg with a baseball bat. And the stuff he did to his sister who was mentally retarded was horrible.
Sure, his circumstances were tough, but I still peg him to the self indulgent brat category. Fortunately, he's in college now and doing well. He told me that he feels really ashamed of the way that he was in Elan, and he doesn't tell anyone about it. But, as a female, you were lucky. You never had to SP mitchell. There were some out of control girls, but SPing Mitchell was always unpredictable.
