An investigation by police revealed school administrators tried to cover up multiple cases of abuse at Miracle Meadows. Students had been handcuffed or shackled to beds, and many endured rapes and vicious beatings.
These kinds of places are beyond insane. I first heard about Elan and then I fell down the rabbit hole of shitty places like this.
Sickening.
Did anyone go to prison?
In 2016, the school’s co-founder and director, Susan Gayle Clark, was convicted of child neglect and failing to report and was sentenced to six months in jail.
Unless she died within that six months it was too short.
Too short by about 100 years yeah.
sounds like a… water-boarding school.
ba-dum-tsssst!
And Christians wonder why with each successive generation less & less people are choosing to be shackled to religion.
“Christian”
“Torture”
I’m not even surprised anymore.
This Washington Post article goes more in depth about the students’ experiences: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/02/07/a-christian-school-said-it-helped-troubled-kids-it-covered-up-sex-abuse-instead-lawsuit-says/
