Patreon Preview Episode! For more episodes like this, subscribe to our Patreon!The Elan School in Poland, Maine was the last stop for troubled teens who had failed out of other programs. The program ran from 1970 to 2011 and was described by one student as a “soul eating hellhole.” The Elan School is only one of many that make up the Troubled Teen Industry and the practices employed by the school and those like it are GRIMM indeed.
1970,Elan School, once a private, coeducational, and residential secondary school located in Poland, Maine, has been the center of numerous controversies and allegations over the years. Established in 1970, it was designed to rehabilitate troubled teens through a program that emphasized behavior modification. However, what was intended as a place of recovery for many, allegedly turned into a scene of… Psychological and physical abuse.

Joined by the president of the Elan School Survivors, Mark Babitz, we look into the dark history of a Maine reformatory school. The facility was closed down on April 1, 2011, due to reports of abuse, many from former students, dating back to its opening in 1970. Throughout its history, the school was faced with numerous allegations of student maltreatment. In 2001, Details magazine cited Élan as "among the most controversial of the nation's residential therapeutic communities." In 1975, Illinois state officials removed eleven children from the Élan program, alleging mistreatment. In the late-1970s, Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Max Ashburn visited the school after repeatedly hearing rumors of abuse, but the staff did not allow him entry into the school past the lobby. Following this, he began keeping a file in which he documented names and phone numbers related to Élan, as well as reported abuses. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/support

We continue with Part 2 of the story of the Elan School. An institution for troubled teens focused on psychological torture rather than education. The school had multiple campuses around Maine and operated for over 40 years. This school irrevocably damaged thousands of lives through its use of extreme behavior modification practices.

In this episode Daniela tells Brooke how these wilderness camps and nightmare boarding schools got there start from Native American Reform Schools, to institutionalization, The Boys School, a lot of cults, Elan, CEDU, the confession to the murder of Martha Moxley during scream therapy, the expansion of these schools internationally and the damage they have continued to create.

Let's take a trip to rural Poland Maine. When you think of Poland you may think of the crisp water from Poland Springs. I doubt you are thinking of a troubled teens facility that ran from 1970 until 2011. This was not your ordinary school and many of the people who left there are still traumatized to this day because of the diabolical things that happened to them there. Some were never able to go home. Thank you all so much for listening.

It's a brand new year and the boys are back! So buckle up because we're kicking it off with a rough one as we break down America's controversial residential behavior modification programs better known as The Troubled Teen Industry, this week focusing in on the highly controversial Elan School.
High school wasn't a good time for any of us. Full of awkward encounters and terrible people; however, some experiences were clearly more terrible. This week, Jason, Doug, and Mike dive into a reddit investigation that uncovered an abusive institution that had been left unchecked since the 1970's.

Lauren and Rebecca bring on three guests that were victims of the troubled teen industry. First up McKenzie Graves, a comedian who attended the infamous Elan school (that came from daytop which came from synanon which was a CULT founded by a man who found 12 step not tough enough) while it was shut down. Second story by Sam Huber, who attended Midwest Academy also during the time it was shut down, whose founder is still at large in Idaho. Attack therapy, concrete isolation boxes, synanon in depth, the Paris Hilton story, five facts about this largely unregulated industry that continues to bring in 23 billion a year JUST IN PUBLIC FUNDS. On Patreon Rebecca reflects on the attack therapy (therapeutic community) she experienced at Florida House, a rehab in Deerfield Beach, and realizes, for the first time, that being put alone in the woods for four days on an Outward Bound trip with only five fig newtons and a tiny bag of GORP at the age of fourteen was abusive by definition - basic needs.

On part 2 of the Elan School we talk about the man behind the madness, Joe Ricci. His greed, passions, addictions, manipulation, and his youth. Will Joe's charm, wealth, and winning smile be enough to ignore the fathomless void that has replaced his heart?

The Last Stop is about a now closed behavioral modification facility known as Elan School in Maine. Once hailed as a saving grace for troubled teens by parents and children alike, somehow turned into a waking Lord of the Flies-type nightmare for most there. Was there any way to truly escape Elan and all it's damaging and irreversible tactics?
The Last Stop is about a now closed behavioral modification facility known as Elan School in Maine. Once hailed as a saving grace for troubled teens by parents and children alike, somehow turned into a waking Lord of the Flies-type nightmare for most there. Was there any way to truly escape Elan and all it's damaging and irreversible tactics?
The Elan school was an institution selling itself as a reformatory for troubled and wayward youth. Their claim to parents and the state was that their children's behaviour would be corrected through various therapeutic methods. The truth of Elan was that it was a snake pit where residents were subjected to every kind of abuse. Elan did change its students: most of them emerged with post-traumatic stress disorder and other long-term psychiatric problems. In this episode I speak with Elan survivor Karen Watson whose disclosures were even more horrifying than I expected.
RMA-Episode 59 Show Notes: This week on RMA-The Last Stop: When a good kid goes down the wrong path, parents are left feeling hopeless. What do they do when their kid starts doing drugs and drinking and getting into trouble with the law? I'll tell you what they shouldn't do. Don't have a transport company pull them out of bed in the middle of the night and send them to a place like the Elan School. The Elan School, located in the deep woods of Maine was presented to their parents as a last stop resort for out-of-control behaviour. It used a mixture of harsh discipline, emotional, and physical abuse, to deconstruct the students' psyches and “cure” them of their behavioral issues. The Last Stop, an award-winning documentary film currently streaming on Amazon Prime, takes a deeper look into the controversial therapy methods used at this school, methods that developed from the Synanon recovery cult. Synanon spawned hundreds of copycat programs like Daytop and Phoenix House, that used confrontational therapy and other abusive tactics with no scientific basis to treat teens with substance abuse and behavioral issues. Erin Moore joins Mike and Nat this week to share her experience as a survivor of the Phoenix House program, and to join in reviewing The Last Stop. It's a compelling episode that strikes at the heart of the “troubled teen” movement and asks why there has been little to no oversight of these largely unregulated facilities. Plus, the week in review and the usual hijinks on an out-of-control, questionably therapeutic, deep in the woods episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

In 1970 Elan School opened its doors promising to be a rehabilitation center and school for troubled teens, but in reality it was a living hell. Teenagers aged 12-18 were subjected to constant emotional and physical abuse, humiliation and dehumanization as a way to be mentally broken and controlled. Not only were these teens subjected to daily abuse, but they were also forced to participate in the abuse of their peers. The first thing you learned at Elan was there was no escaping.

Founded in 1974 by a man named Joe Ricci, the Elan School was supposed to be someplace where you could send your troubled teen so they could be rehabilitated and put back on the right track. But in reality, it was a cruel and chaotic nightmare where students were constantly being pressured to confess to things they’d done “wrong,” called “guilts,” which often were things as silly and not-wrong as having a crush on someone or smiling too much. At Elan, student was pitted against student in insane psychological mind-games and also pitted against each other physically. And most all of this was perfectly legal. It was considered healthy rehab! And the Elan School wouldn’t close until 2011. Today we use the Elan School as an excuse to explore the rise of the troubled teen industry in the US and how it all sprung out of a cult called Synanon. We also explore how the notion of childhood and parenting has been constantly changing for centuries in an attempt to rationalize why anyone would send their kid to the living Hell of a place like Synanon.

Welcome back to Slay or Survive. We're ladies covering ladies.If you're on Tik Tok, then you've probably seen Isabella Guzman. Although she went to trial in 2013 for murdering her mother, the video of her in court went viral on Tik Tok with the song Sweet but Psycho playing in the background. Was Isabella really a psycho? Listen in to hear resident Tik Tok addict, Carly, tell the real story. Dani covers the Elan School. This school for troubled teens would subject students to humiliating punishments and call it "therapy". And if the administrators felt that the humiliation wasn't enough, they'd resort to physical violence. Thousands of teenagers endured abuse at Elan, but it was only brought to light during the murder trial of Martha Moxley. Listen in - you won't want to miss this one.
