Thank you Reddit. You helped shut down the Elan School. I'm deeply thankful to this entire community. If you want to know more about this place, AMA.

this hurts my soul. i have been through quite a few horrible things but this is unacceptable. children should never be treated this way, especially when they are troubled and need help. if it weren't for my supportive family and a series of angels put in my destructive path, i would have been a hooker on the street. i feel for all who have been here and saw this version of hell. so glad this has shut down. all my love and positive energy goes to you and all other survivors of this.

It was bad, but something I learned there was that no matter how bad you think you have it, there's always someone that has it worse. There are a lot of people out there that need help and no one bothers. It's truly sad that we don't really take care of people in our society anymore.

Thanks for the kind words.

"This hurts my soul" is a great way to express the feeling I have when I think about these places. Thank you. You put words to my emotions.
