Is there no one sane left on this site?

Everyone has fallen two barrels off the falls and there is no way to tell good guys from bad guys.

Why would any of you threaten eachother?
It is how Danny Bennison and his multitude of sock puppets role . Which still really just means its how Danny Bennison rolls.  

Sorry it is just the truth , something danny bennison is incapable of ever telling in his life.

Matt, you are showing people how you roll. Why are allowing people to lie, pose as survivors and write a memoir you know if false where it concerns Danny.

What a sack of shit you are Danny. How dare you come here with this fucking puppet show to abuse someone you abused as a child. There was a lot of mutual abuse at Ellan, and there were quite a few abusive staff members. Do you realize your the only one who comes to survivor sites? Do you know why? because they have at least a half a fucking brain. They have enough humanity to be ashamed of what they did now that the truth has come to light

You should be ashamed of yourself


WoW how fucking original was that. Danny is a employee of Elan. Wayne get a life. No one abused you because you were never there. NO ONE HAS COME FORWARD AND STATED DANIEL BENNISON ABUSED THEN, NO ONE.
Danny knew 100's of people. Peter Arnold, Jocelyn Baer and Albert Beauchane are on your secret site, where are they. Danny knew them and they know Danny,
Wayne/YV23 your rant was garbage.

Just ask the people that do know me. I will give their names in a PM, you know who they are.  
Please for the love of god produce evidence where I have threatened physical harm to anyone here, where I said I would hurt or maim someone or someone's family. I haven't been here posting on a regular bases for almost 18 months. The fighting you are referring to went on almost two years ago. Get over it.
Plus I am beginning to wonder if you are confusing my posts for those that are parodies. Many posters here use a version of my name and avatar.
Froderik, my friends and I have every right to rebut what Wayne (or whoever he is) wrote in his memoir about me. That is all I am calling him a liar on. The violence he said I committed while at Elan. The rest of the memoir is fine. I want him to admit he lied about me for reasons only he can explain truthfully.
That is all I have to say. If you choose to carry on with your foolish accusations so be it. But know this more are coming to refute what Wayne has said so you will be a busy boy. This people will be staright from Elan, they are also sick of the lies.

So, what did Wayne say about you that was not true? Why do I get the feeling that he wasn't making it up, whatever it was?

Probably because you have behaved in a manner on this forum that has succeeded in creeping out just about everyone with half a brain.

Sorry, but you are the last person I will believe about anything, and that suspicion is based on what I have observed of you here.

You made your bed, now you can lie in it... or just quit your shenanigans here and go the fuck away, if you are so innocent...

If it "doesn't apply," then all is good, right? Nothing to worry about and relentlessly troll and distract about, right?

But I have a gut feeling that you are 100% guilty of that and more or you wouldn't be wasting your time on here with all of your sockpuppets, etc..

Froderik, what are you doing here other then to regurgitate old fights from years ago. Who cares what you think of Danny or anyone else for that matter. Do you forget that you were trashing this site just 6 months ago. If anyone needs to go it is you.
Wayne is a liar and we will continue to advocate this position for as long as it takes to out him once and for all.
So sit down and pay attention because you just may be called upon to pull those facts you have out of your ass... :D
Take care old friend.

You have betrayed the type of person you are in your numerous posts over the years.

You threatened people outright when they called you on what you did.

I'd have to be pretty foolish to believe anything you say.

You are obviously lying, and trying to cover your tracks by slandering others.

The gig is up though, and you will get yours.

Danny Bennison you sick lying bastard you threatened me . Sure you say it was a joke ,but you were the one who issued the threat . I percieved it as a threat and thats what counts asshole!

It is how I percieved it and to me it was no joke , it was a threat !


Matt you have been asked repeatedly to produce evidence that Danny threatened you but so far you have produced nothing. We have also asked you to show us where he threatened others, still nothing. So what are we to think other then you are a liar. Why you lie is not important, to me anyway.
Matt until you can show us something (anything) then we have to assume you made this up so you could get back at Danny. It makes sense Matt, Danny outed you for the backstabbing prick you are (pun intended) and you got angry and have been on this crusade to humiliate him. You are being vindictive, Matt.
So please stop with all your undocumanted, unproven and lack of cited evidence rants you go on and on about concerning Danny.

Plus Matt Hoffman the fights you had with Danny you are referencing happened almost 2 years ago. Get over it.

Where's None Ya? I want to post his ISP too

Didn't know I'm a computer tech, did you Danny? I'm the guy who gave None Ya's ISP to Wayne

May I have your permission to post your ISP?

Say yes, or shut your fucking mouth

Dude you just got yourself a visit from the police thanks Rodigo. I was waiting for you to fuck up like this.
Would you please show us where I admitted to saying I was Danny.
Is this Wayne or Rodrigo writing now?
Can I call you Rodrigo?
Maybe you can explain yourself to me, I have your phone #.
But not today, tomorrow OK.
Danny says hi, panny.

Oh and the suicide issue, nope it isn't funny at all. You, Wayne, just make the whole thing disgusting especially how you abuse it for your own pleasures.

Nice going Wayne, got everyone riled up again.

Listen Wayne and Froderik it is over. The gig is up and all this jerking around is accomplishing nothing. Froderik you will never prove to any one here that Wayne Kernochan is nothing more then a opportunistic asshole who got busted for lying.
Guys it is over, go the fuck away.

Killing yourself or beating up one another does not unring the bell. Wayne you lied and continue to lie.

Right now posing as YP23 this is a lie. Wayne it is you. The cat is the same cat in Jerry Torres avatar as it is in the photos on your facebook site. That was no coincidence you damn fool it just shows how unaware you are. Wayne/Rodrigo you are desperate.

I don't think R. is Danny B. Different syntax. Linguistic variations.

I disagree; i find many similarities.

Please help us, list them.


Really Danny Lee Bennison , really you want our help and you want us to list your tell  tale signs as far as your syntax and linguistic  similarities, are concerned. This  is a serious laugh riot .  

Even if we did this for you  Danny Lee Bennison , it wouldn't help you because "you really are the sick lying fornit idiot," ROFLMAO. This  was certainly one of the more stupid things that you have asked this forum, it just goes to show just how much of a dumbass you really are..

Bottom line Wayne Kernochan wrote a book ,it has gotten  very nice reviews, and it is  believed by many.

Danny Lee Bennison has written a very sick and nasty lie filled" goodbye admission"  that he atributes as being Wayne's written word. The funny thing about Danny  "Liar"  Bennison is that he actually believes that people on this web site are so blinded by the brilliance of his sock puppets, lol , that we will believe that these words are not Danny Bennison's and are someone else's altogether. These words and many,many other  words of Danny Lee Bennison's are not believed, nor the words of his sock puppets.

And that Danny Lee Bennison is why we know who  all your sock puppets are because simply put ,you really are  stupid and are the "lying idiot of fornits". And from reading the book you have never changed your abusive ways.

No Danny Lee Bennsion we will not help you with your sock puppetts tale-tell signs that it is you. Your similarities in syntax and linguistics are a hoot ,and really Danny Lee Bennison ,lol, thanks for asking.

Onelittle  thing Danny ,a  hint , drop your  fixation that you  have on mens body parts. you know their ass, frank and beans ect. Your blantant homosexual latentcy shows thru everytime and really gives you away ,lol. Plus its just gross,as in eeewwww.

P.S. Danny  L. Bennison you really need to read your topic  and subsequent thread on the "offa"  titled "musing{s} from the lying fornit idiot Danny Bennison " the fornit forum is getting to know all of your sock puppets ,your answers to your question that you posted here  can be found there,lol.


Felice, why are you calling Danny a liar. Let me see you are DethGurl, Felice, Eliscue II, Anti-Troll, Cum guzzler should we go on. You were banned from this site for abusing a women for her sexuality choices. If we go to the OFFA we will find hundreds of posts from you where you have verbally slandered, harassed and out right posted the most revolting crap I have ever read someone say to another and you want to cast stones at Danny.
Felice you were primarily responsible for shutting down this site because you posted someone's IP address. You are not in a position to say anything.
Which is why you hide behind a mask Anti-Troll. You are a fraud, hmmmm.....just like your buddy Wayne.
Nobody is coming to your rescue, you are sick.

Froderik and Felice Eliscue (Anti-Trol) have no idea who Danny or Wayne is. Felice has spoken on the phone with Wayne and Danny on several occassions. What they are doing right now is simply posturing for a friend.

Froderik no one is coming because you are a fraud just like your (make believe friend) Wayne Kernochan. Over the last 4 months right here Wayne was exposed as a fraud, a man without proof, a plagiarizer and a liar. Everything Wayne has said he would do he has not. No testimonies, no witnesses, no lawyers, no police, no attorney generals, no Yvette Portella saying I raped her ect....ect.....ect......Oh we do have Wayne on the radio saying Danny sodomized him.
Whatada say Froderik ya think I did that??  Wayne has said he was going to kill Danny, he posted Danny's murdered nephew picture and details, he posted his mothers information, he threaten Danny's sister and her daughters,. Jesus Christ where have you been.

Open Free for All / Wayne kernochan's Memoir Reviews and Porn!!
« on: February 05, 2012, 01:24:06 PM »
Wayne got a great review from Beth Bartlett. Oh yaaaaayyyyy the world is speaking.

Here is Beth Bartlett's profile: http://www.blogger.com/profile/04576743533617299665

 The depressing part here, is that Wayne doesn't care that Beth is surrounded or better yet lumped into a forum with profane, vulgar and filthy pictures of woman being abused for money. Members please noticed one constant concerning Wayne Kernochan, he enjoys  pictures of women in porn. The sick irony here is Wayne is accusing people of debauchery while displaying his porn video library here. Isn't it true that more young women are forced into this industry against there will every year. This is a site for young adults and kids who were abused. Wayne you wrote a memoir supposedly about this abuse. What gives here?
Why are you, Wayne Kernochan, allowing pornographic photo's of young women being taken advantage of and reviews of your memoir to be posted in the same thread? I don't think you care!
You don't care!!  Like we have always stated you are not intimately involved with the abuse that went on at Elan. No one who wrote a memoir about themselves as a survivor would allow the disrespect this site shows for their personal and sensitive story. No one would bring their story (memoir) here and have it be reviewed surrounded by young women being abused sexually, porno. Wayne you promote this behavior.
You don't care because you have no personal investment, you don't have no old wounds and scars that are still redden and tender.  You are a fraud.
We will continue to expose you for the liar you are. You are one of the sickest bastards I have ever known. Danny was right even as far back as 2008 when he said at dinner one night, this is a sick fuck watch him. This story about you will be told.

And, no Danny, I'm not Wayne. He has actual friends. Doesn't need to create them
I was standing right there when Marty slapped your stupid face.



"I was standing right there when Marty slapped your stupid face."

Of course you were!!! Why did Marty slap Danny across the face for?
I remember Marty grabbing Danny during a football game because Danny was over the white line screaming at the opposing team. But other then that Marty was not like Peter Mc., Dave Eldert, Rick Rosenhaus ect....he didn't put his hands on residents. He was very good at getting others to do it. You can ask your buddy Matt about that fact for verification.
Plus if you knew the size of Danny as opposed to the size of Marty, you would never make such a stupid comment. Danny is nearly twice the size of Marty.

I also want to thank you. Danny you have our support.
It just boggles my mind when I see the abuse these guys throw around. Why?? Because Danny got angry with Matt and exposed a stabbing incident, he wouldn't take Felice's abuse or any of the other Elanians verbal attacks. So you guys went out and got this guy Wayne K. to write a book characterizing Elan which was good but then you could not stop there, NO, you just had to lie and get back at Danny. Accuse him of abuse he never committed.
See we have totally gotten away from what started this whole stupid fight, Danny stood up for himself.
You folks have tried your best to use his brief employment against him and have gone so far to fabricate evidence when nothing else worked.
Danny has talked with every one of you on the phone more then once (many times) in the past. All of you have stated he really wasn't a staff member he was to young. I over heard along with others several of these conversations, you were on speaker phone. These conversations have been taped for future reference. Why is it in private you are so congenial and out in public you are like monsters towards him.
You are phonies all of you.

Cadets at Bethel Boys Academy are forced to guard, harass, mock, assault, and physically injure other cadets on command. They are not given a meaningful choice concerning whether to commit such acts against other cadets. They are forced to commit violent crimes against other cadets as a matter of survival. The choice is one between doing the beating, or receiving the beating... Those who fail to comply with the orders of the Drill Instructors are subjected to loss of some or all privileges, beatings by Drill Instructors, extreme physical exhaustion, made to hold to electric fences, held underwater at the “swamp” up to and including drowning and resuscitation..."

Cruelty and Death in Juvenile Detention Centers
 
Source:
Associated Press, March 2, 2008
Title: “13,000 Abuse Claims in Juvie Centers”

Author: Holbrook Mohr
Student Researcher: Sarah Maddox
Faculty Evaluator: Barbara Bloom, PhD

In states across the country, child advocates have harshly condemned the conditions under which young offenders are housed—conditions that involve sexual abuse, physical abuse, and even death. The US Justice Department (DOJ) has filed lawsuits against facilities in eleven states for supervision that is either abusive or harmfully negligent. While the DOJ lacks the power to shut down juvenile correction facilities, through litigation it can force a state to improve its detention centers and protect the civil rights of jailed youth.

Lack of oversight and nationally accepted standards of tracking abuse make it difficult to know exactly how many youngsters have been assaulted or neglected.

In a nationally conducted survey, the Associated Press contacted each state agency that oversees juvenile correction centers and asked for information on the numbers of deaths as well as the numbers of allegations and confirmed cases of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse by staff members since January 1, 2004. According to the survey, more than 13,000 claims of abuse were identified in juvenile correction centers around the country from 2004 through 2007—a remarkable total given that the total population of detainees was about 46,000 at the time the states were surveyed in 2007.

The worst physical confrontations have ended in death. At least five juveniles died after being forcibly placed in restraints in facilities run by state agencies or private facilities with government contracts since January 1, 2004.

The use of restraint techniques and devices and their too-aggressive application have long been controversial and came under intense scrutiny last year after the death of fourteen-year-old Martin Lee Anderson. A grainy video taken at a Florida boot camp in January 2006 showed several guards striking the teen while restraining him. On October 12, 2006, six guards and a nurse were acquitted of manslaughter charges after defense attorneys argued that the guards used acceptable tactics.

In Maryland, seventeen-year-old Isaiah Simmons lost consciousness and died after he was held to the floor face down at a privately owned facility that was contracted by the state. Prosecutors say the staff waited forty-one minutes after the boy was unresponsive to call for help. An attorney for one of the counselors said the men were only trying to prevent Simmons from hurting himself or someone else. A judge dismissed misdemeanor charges against five counselors. The state has appealed.

Other restraint-related deaths involve three boys—seventeen, fifteen, and thirteen years of age—in facilities in Tennessee, New York, and Georgia, respectively. At least twenty-four other juveniles died in correction centers between 2004 and 2007 from suicide and natural causes or preexisting medical conditions.

A drive to reform California’s juvenile justice system follows successful landmark litigation against the California Youth Authority (CYA) in April 2006. During litigation, advocates learned that conditions in many California county juvenile halls were as bad as those in the state CYA facilities. Yet as the appalling conditions in the CYA were revealed, officials shifted much of the population from the CYA facilities to the county juvenile halls.

In 2006, reported conditions in California juvenile halls included severe overcrowding, with teenagers sleeping floors; nonexistent educational opportunity; nonexistent mental healthcare or rehabilitative programs; isolation for over twenty-three hours a day for months straight; use of excessive force, including beatings and pepper sprayings; and inappropriate administration of medications.

Attorney Richard Ulmer states, “California law expressly requires that a juvenile hall not be regarded as a penal institution, but rather be a safe and supportive homelike environment. But many juvenile halls in the state are more like penitentiaries than homes.”1

Similar crises of institutional abuse against troubled youth are occurring in states across the nation.
