Sneak Preview (Warning: Very Disturbing)
Added 2018-12-31 20:19:18 +0000 UTCHere is a sneak preview of an upcoming chapter that flashes back to the Elan of the 1970's.
My time in Elan was horrible, but in the earlier years, unspeakably disturbing things were commonplace.

Humiliation. It is important to remember that Elan had no trained staff or qualified people of any kind. It was created by a sociopath who then created a workforce of ex-Elan residents. It was a lawless, irresponsible experiment gone wrong and the people in power were bribed to look the other way. So Elan answered to nobody except the will of the strongest and loudest members of their unique universe. Elan was also allowed to get away with so much because of a crazy law that stated any state inspections needed to give Elan a 24 hour notice before they arrived. One of the few states that didn't honor this law was Illinois. They showed up unannounced (common sense) and they wrote a huge report on how degrading and psychotic the entire Elan experience was. They also immediately pulled out all 11 of their state wards who were sent there. Parts of that report can be found here (use the search function and put in: Illinois): <a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/44635665/Scribd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.scribd.com/doc/44635665/Scribd</a>
