I was reentry staff in Wayne's house and connected with him when I heard about the book. It's factual
As far as the Jani foundation, I don't know it. I seriously doubt he would give money to abusive parents
Well, on amazon, Wayne says proceeds of his book go to the Jani Foundation (again, not a real foundation, just a paypal account for Michael Schofield). And Wayne did recently appear on Susan Schofields radio show Bipolar Nation which is what all the recent drama that lead me to THIS site is about. And Michael HAS abuse Jani and both parents are still essentially abusing both Jani and her brother through exploitation and by drugging them to get them to sleep. I can provide you with some admissions from Michael's blog that he has abused Jani (even though as I mentioned previously he always blames on her "illness").
So, where I would love to believe Wayne is the real deal, the BIG inconsistency of him ignoring Jani's abuse is a problem.
How many of you abused at Elan School would overlook or ignore a child abused in their own home just because they were not abused in an institution? That does not add up.
Wayne, will we be hearing from you?
Sorry, maybe I'm just not seeing it... Perhaps you could spell out in more detail exactly what you consider to be "abuse" and why you consider it abusive?
Here's Michael Schofield's blog for others who might want to check it out:

Apperently you do not know how to read a thread?
“There have been times when I dosed Jani with Benadryl to knock her out. By the way, we are not talking children’s Benadryl. We are talking the adult dose. 25 mg per pill.” Michael Schofield janisjourney.org
"She was two months old. I shook a two month old infant, screaming at her "WHY WON'T YOU SLEEP!" She screamed harder and I immediately felt guilty and tried to make it better. Eventually, she calmed down and fell into a fitful sleep in my arms and I watched German TV at four in the morning knowing I was a baby shaker. " Michael Schofield janisjourney.org
"A little over a year ago I got investigated by DCFS the first time because of giving Jani baths. At the time Jani was in her first hospitalization for violence at BHC Alhambra, a county hell-hole filled mostly with kids from group homes who actually were abused by their parents. I aroused suspicion of the staff by insisting on giving Jani baths. This was only because she wouldn't take them otherwise. She was so psychotic that she no longer thought of her personal hygiene. And I didn't bath her everyday. Susan and I alternated.
At the same time, Alhambra, unlike UCLA, actually mixed "peds" (pediatrics) and adolescents together so Jani was going to group sessions with teenage girls who were sharing stories of abuse. Jani was desperate to fit in (she liked it there) and told a staff member that once when I was giving her a bath I had...This is hard to write... I had inserted my finger inside the washcloth into her vagina." Michael Schofield janisjourney.org
The abuse I am talking about is all pretty self explanatory in Michael Schofields own words above.
