      That story is horrifying on so many levels. If even half the claims in there are true, all the “adults” involved deserve the slowest, most painful death imaginable.

      The fact that places like can exist terrific me. The people that prop up those systems are absolute scum.

        I only found out about it less than a month ago, also from a lemmy comment.

        I sometimes think my teen years were traumatic, which they were, but compared to everyone sent to Élan I definitely had it good.

        The fact that it was eventually closed down because of online activism makes me an even stronger supporter of a free and open Internet.

      Holy shit. I read about it in the news when it was shut down, but didn’t have these horrifying details. The school was two towns away from mine. How could that be going on and we “neighbors” be oblivious?
