I guess mentioning Paris Hilton is a good draw to the article, but I’m guessing most people don’t know about the facilities she was put in for being a “troubled teen” and why the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act is so important because people still associate her with being the vapid socialite she played on TV.
Hooooooooooly poop. I have watched a few documentaries and seen interviews about these fucked up programs, but never heard of elan school. Already on chapter 11 and I’m going to devour the entire thing, it’s depressingly enthralling.
Piggybacking to say that Behind the Bastards has done a few dives into Elan school/the troubled teen industry before that are really informative, entertaining, and easy to digest
It gets better, but not before it gets much worse. I just binged it in a go and I feel it was worth it. It definitely gave me a lot to think about and some new perspectives. Also, what the fuck, USA?
Yeah. It’s the reading equivalent of passing a horrific car accident. No matter how awful it gets, no matter how many times you remember that this is 100% true, you have to keep reading.
Elan.school is a very rough and long read. It’s fantastic, but one should know that there are very heavy topics involved and it certainly isn’t for everyone.
I think most people think about how she shot to stardom with a blow job. One Night in Paris is was put her to stardom above all the other vapid socialites.

If you don’t know much more, you can start by reading about her, but I also recommend the comic at Elan.school.

Thanks for the link! 💕
I knew a little about the horrific shit Paris Hilton was put through, but I’d never seen that comic… Shit is intense.

Fuck mate, Elan.school was a rollercoaster.
I never got to the end as it just kept getting worse and worse. I only made it to where he escapes and gets caught again.

Fair point. Thanks for the warning.

Nah, she was already a wealthy heiress and had her own reality show before that video came out.
Which sucks because she didn’t release it or want it released.
*she
Where?
Sorry. I couldn’t help myself. No hard feelings tho.
