Obligatory elan.school. Shit is fucked up and it’s child abuse for profit and sometimes paid for by tax dollars.
Also The Program on Netflix. It’s a really well put together documentary made by one of the students at a similar school.
My SO went to that program and deals with lifelong trauma from that place. They’re constantly telling me about another person that went through the program with them that committed suicide. It’s really depressing.
Ho. Lee. Shit.
I've been reading this over the past few days since you posted it, I'm on chapter 69, and just wanted to thank you for sharing it. This is the most insane mind-fuck, eye opening read I've ever read. Even just experiencing this story 2nd hand through the words of the author is absolutely soul crushing. I can't even begin to imagine what these kids have gone through.
I know! Someone else shared it and it has really stuck with me. I share it any time it’s relevant because his experience wasn’t that long ago and they aren’t the only ones.
hey I read that not too long ago. helluva ride.
wouldn't want to be there though

these places are so unregulated, that there's basically no regulations.
Isn't that just "unregulated"? "Completely unregulated"?
I mean sure, if you wanna split hairs. Maybe underrgulagted was a better choice, but that's harder to mobile swipe / type.
How many more need to die more the FBI launches a real investigation? These crimes go over state lines and some are even transnational like Atlantis Leadership academy.
Like...overnight? It'd be kinda creepy if they were watching her sleep in fairness
There is plenty of room to debate tradeoffs in patient care. However, the policy was to perform a check every 15 minutes overnight. Not great for sleep quality and, all else being equal, a net negative for mental health. However, it does prevent a long tail of serious negative outcomes (such as, potentially, this death). There are a bunch of healthcare circumstances where sleep quality is sacrificed in favor of other concerns.
In this particular case, in addition to all of the normal concerns the facility would have, this girl was:
Those are all red flags that her condition should be monitored closet than normal.
