a rape victim is advised to do the same or life will seem not worth living

The difference, nick, is that rapes are usually investigated, and rapists arrested and prosecuted. You hardly ever hear anyone say things like "So what if he raped a few kids? He was nice to me."

You are a bit hostile sounding, but I couldn't agree with your meaning more.  Elan should have been investigated and shut down.  Joe Ricci was a crook, and benefited off of insurance money and left me to deal with a nightmare.  I'm just glad that he is gone. I'm really not that type of person, but I have to tell you, I was pretty damn happy when I was told that he died.  By the way, I have moved on, I have a wonderful family, I wake up joyous every day, unfortunately, Elan will always be something I will want to face and figure out probably b/c I never had closure.  Although Joe passing away defintely helped.

lpayne64:
I don't understand why you don't list your names, profile in regards to who you are and when you were in Elan.  Why no names?

I'm really quite sorry each time that I read someone posting that we need to get over Elan and move on with our lives.  With any tradegy it is as though it becomes a part of who you are.  Elan sucked...those of you that have been there recently just have no idea as to the cruelity or psychological games that were played on us.  As a parent now and having raised a teenager of my own, I have made my own voice heard to other parents contemplating to send their children away.  YOU DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN AWAY IN MASSES LIKE A USED CAR TO BE FIXED.  B/c daah, it's usually the whole family that needs some adjusting.  And those that advise rape victims to move on with their lives, have not beeen raped.  Horray, for you that Elan was so wonderful, that is the farthest thing in the world that my Elan was.  You don't know what you are talking about...NO IDEA AT ALL!!!!

I could see if there was only one or two of us from the old school that were complaining or venting or sharing..whatever you want to call it, but there are hundreds of us...hundreds of us that share a terrible experience that get together occassionally in these bulletin boards to talk.  Do we offend you?  Well, that's just too bad.  I'm glad you are doing well, and I'm happy for you that you contribute some of that to Elan.  But for me, b/c of Elan I had to work all that harder to get where I'm at which is a great place to be, (mentally, physically, etc), but what I share and bring to other teenagers that come into my house and other parents contemplating sending there kids away.  I don't want to forget.
