I'm not USAmerican so I didn't know about these places until fairly recently

Someone on Hexbear posted a link to this comic a while back which is both really good and really harrowing: (CW all kinds of abuse) https://elan.school/

Honestly I read most of it in the span of a day and I spent most of that day crying my eyes out, it's just all so so cruel

Idk it's late at night and I had some other rambling thoughts but I'm just going to summarise them with death to America and let's make sure the future's better

Oh god Elan. I've heard fuckin horror stories about that place.

Reading that site is a cognitohazard

I found this at 8 am while browsing this morning. It is now 10:30 and I am not even halfway through. Holy shit death to America and death to Elan what the absolute hell is this. Thank you for sharing this website, I'll make sure to inform others who I know will be interested in this

I had just about the same reaction. I couldn't think of anything else for a couple days after learning about that shit. Something about it I think just hits so much more personally than stories about other awful things that go on in the world, when it's the victim's parents doing it to them directly.
