Narrator, Will Shatner……??
And they say that,"Home school" place has zero "children" that are mentally challenged!!??……????
So heartbreaking i had to stop watching this i was sobbing so much may god bless bless them 😢
To some of these parents, their children are throw aways, let someone else fix it? They may need help but?? Putting your child in an institution??
Cant that aide wipe his nose for him ???
Doesnt seem like this place is really good for anyone !!
This is so heartbreaking and sad
Very sad.
I know this video is pretty old. But that young man who has the muscular diystrophy is the sweetest young man. You can tell he has a big heart. And hes very smart I would be so proud to adopt him in my family. And call him my son,
Anyone would be fortunate. I really pray that he finds happiness. And that hes able to go in the world and explore everything. Wonderful life has to offer And that he finds love and support to be able to do that…❤
It’s so shameful for the parents abandon them; I understand that it takes its toll but not to the extreme of abandonment. The people working here are angels.
The methods they used to treat these kids were mental
Never trust men with children,
All that screaming is not healthy
They Tortured these poor Innocent children!!! That's why many mental institutions were closed due to deplorable and inhumane treatment!
Wtf the “punishments” are straight torture and abuse
Sad! This sounds alike Scientology Organisation 😢. Very shocking, but true 😢!
Ohhhhh my heart 💔 i want to hugs and love them all. Im from abusive parents no contact for my own mental wellbeing , i eeally understand 😢
brian had gf but i don't
Omg. I'm only minutes into this documentary and my heart is broken! The poor boy whose parents left him and went to Vegas? Shame! I hope he was able to see his value and also find love. I just don't understand how a parent can live with themselves and just go to Vegas. 😢 People are twisted.
😰😰😰😰😰😰
Brian's Dad must have been around 60-years-old when he was born. So many xhildren of much older Dads have serious mental issues – honestly, these older men need to get vasectomies.
Such stupid treatment options at Elan.
You don’t heal people by abusing them. No anti-depressants then either, dark days.
Gary sounds good though the way he expresses himself sounds pretty good,,
It breaks my heart 💔to see kids at the same time I was a kid dealing with people who have control of their future. I can blame the people in power like politicians who have been able to profit from those in direr straights .They don't have to answer to anyone because they the power and many friends who profit with no conscience but their own means.
I had no idea that children could have schizophrenia. I had a friend that only started at 18 or 19.
It was a very bad situation. He went into someone's and killed the woman and then took his own life. Both sides of the victim and friends family wanted to keep the names of them out of the news.
If I hadn't known the family I probably would have never found out.
It was so sad and tragic especially for the victims family. 😢
Seeing these children broke my heart and tears are falling from my eyes. I was born that year when this film was shot and had a cousin born at the same time with such disabilities. Some sort of brain damage during birth. It was devastating watching him grow up and sadly he died at 25 years of age. The most painful thing is despite their condition they truly understand and feel every thing which is happening to them but just can’t express it normally. I know it from my cousin. My heart goes with all these people and their families. It’s devastating battle for someone who you love but has no hope of healing and still you can’t just let go 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤
Joseph Ricci, the leader of Elan. He's a scumbag. He's an abuser of children.
i wasnt able to watch as soon as I heard the first child talk about his parents who left him there, he is completely normal extremely sensitive emotionally incredible very well spoken, just muscular distrrophy, those parents who left him there i cant wish anything good to them in their lifes, i hope wherever this man is he is allright he is happy somewhere. his parents are monsters in my view.
I just cant watch the rest. excuse my bad english btw
So it does not matter if you come from a single parent home, or two parent, rich home. You can have a child that has problems. There is no superiority!!!!
Isn't that nice that your looks, keep you out of jail!!! How fair is that????
Vaccines
Why would she tell Brian he can't go cuz he doesn't have any money. How stupid. The man was just getting him calmed down and she comes from no where and just lights a fire????
The more he forces him his behavior changes let him be .
No you need to
Educated to help him whiout
Been aggressive to
Him.
I'm sorry to say
But I rather to see my child
Death then see
Him suffering.
Brian will do good in small
Home of his
Condition.
He talks, walks,
He's kind, makes conversation
And most of anything He's loving ❤️
We are alone who is really there for us when times are really bad and life just gets too unbearable and we screaming inside it gets to the point where you only think and have thoughts to the point of no return you just want to get away from every thing and everyone
