The Projected Death of Straight Inc.

November 25, 2008 Child Abuse, Cults, Human Rights, Lawsuits, Programs & Boot Camps No Comments

A lot of us probably figured Straight, Inc. would get shut down sometime after we got out.

When I was finally out and away from Northern Virginia for good, I imagined the program would be gone after a year or two. After all, I had seen the lawyers come and go and knew something was potentially up. Aside from that, I probably just figured that a place as stupid as Straight would sooner or later, if not sooner, be history.

The bad news is people still fall for the same old shit; they still sell a lemon, and it seems there’s a sucker born every minute.

Same shit (with a new sales pitch), different century!

Thank you Morgan Mitchell for courageously telling your story. I totally agree with you that Elan is not the place to send your children. My parents were clueless and to this day, not that I bring it up anymore, they shut down anytime I bring up what happened to me there. My mother one time [...]
