Yes Artman, My son is a student there NOW and has been for 18 months. I had no choice but to send him there. He would have been dead otherwise, and he will be the first to tell you that. He was a low lying dirt ball. Stealing, picking pockets, selling pot and growing it, in trouble with the police, not attending school and living homeless at a truck stop. His hygine was nasty too. I could go on and on. I am 42, I did drugs too. Pot,coke, speed (ironically, I take Adderall now for my ADD). I didn't do drugs everyday like my son, and I went to school. There is a big difference, and a Mom will do anything to save the one she loves. He is 18 and he can leave anytime he wants. He knows he is in a better place. He is finally learning academically, and how to stay off drugs. How old are you & how old are your kids? Why did you go to elan anyway? He is NOT being abused and never has! Don't even try to make me feel like shit for saving my son because you will be wasting your time and mine too. I've been through enough. CCT
