MARIANNA, Fla. — Nobody is quite sure how many boys’ bodies lie beneath the grounds of the notorious Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, or which one is Thomas or Owen or Robert.
Nobody is quite sure how most of them died — the cause is often listed as ‘‘unknown’’ or ‘‘accident’’ — or why a great number were buried with such haste.

Whenever human beings are institutionalized, there is bound to be abuse, neglect, disrespect, diminishment of person, etc. That these were children is untold insult to injury. Of course the self-righteous "Catholics", doctors, or wardens who ran this institution are nowhere to be found and wil never be judged, at least not here. Such criminality and heinous behavior boggles the mind. What most of these kids were probably guilty of was just being children. As the man says, where there's smoke there's fire.
