Connie Irene Munson - 1980

This poor girl tried to escape a place so horrible that it is only fitting that it is now burned down to the ground. The authorities tried several times to intervene but it took them too long to be successful. The families were properly kept in the dark about what took place there.

Many years have passed and so many years later we should have been able to state that such places were of the past. But today there are still teenage girls out there who experience the same horrors which led to her escape which ended to tragically for her when she was hit by traffic on a nearby road.

May she find peace in her next life. A peace she unfortunately was not allowed in this life.

Brad Glickman - 1990

15 year old Brad Glickman was on the run from Elan School in Maine when he was shot by a resident in a small town. He seemed to have some kind of connection to the daughter in the house of his killer and it is not clear what exactly happened shortly after midnight that many years ago.

However what is clear is that Elan School wasn't a pleasant place for any teenager to be. Nothing productive could come from such a place and it is close to a scandal that it wasn't closed back then.

Of course now where it is close the public learn what official fought very hard to keep away from the public. That the teenagers were beaten in almost bizarre therapeutic processes like the boxing ring. The use of isolation were widespread and the top management like the founder were without any education in the field they operated in.

Brad Glickman couldn't stand it and he ran. Unfortunately his life were cut short during his escape.

Elan School was created to warehouse difficult children the system couldn't find places for. Children expensive for the system and for it to exist many closed their eyes.

Brad Glickman didn't deserve his destiny.

May he find peace where he is now.

Caitlin Lee - 2011

15 year old Caitlin Lee was found dead on some railtracks. The official documents speak of suicide. Whether it was suicide or just a freak accident during one of her 17 escape attempts we cannot know because we weren't there.

What we do know is that she according to her family was doing very well at another facility before she was transferred to ChildServ. Placing a teenager in the care of the public system is often a question of money. Was the reason for her placement at ChildServ. a question of saving money?

Most likely. Of course the officials will deny it but in this case the cost-saving operation resulted in her death.

May she find peace where she is now.
