This sent me down a rabbit hole. I watched the trailer for The Last Stop, and now I'm inconsolable.

My experience at a boarding school in Australia was similarly themed, though nowhere near this extreme. I feel I ought now to write to my old dormitory master — my own Nurse Ratched — and remind him of some of the abuse.

Good grief, that was the most disturbing thing I have read in years.

Thank you for sharing this.

Came here to link this exact comic. It's heartbreaking to imagine the pain he went through, and he's only one person among many in similar situations.

He's still releasing chapters, almost at the end of his stay in Elan.

Holy shit. That was visceral. My heart breaks for those poor kids. Thanks for posting that.

Holy fuck just wrapped this up before my flight... extremely disgusting and fascinating.

Wow, thank you very much for this link! I had no idea and the comic presentation is fantastic. I couldn't stop reading and read it front to back. It's horrific what these kids had (and surely somewhere have) to endure without a chance of getting out. I hope that person is better now and that his work will help to continue to fight those practices, bring justice and raise awareness. (Like also others did in books and other forms of course!)

This was unusually gripping. Thanks for sharing.

I can't believe I just read the entire thing from start to finish.

There are truly sick people doing truly sick things out there.

Thanks for posting this.

This was as fascinating and engaging than the best documentaries I've seen. Thank you!

Very good storytelling.

As an aside, I wonder how these students got their hair cuts.
