Anyone else following the story about the Dozier school in Florida.

I have. It is disturbing to say the least. It was a reform school in Marianna Florida that opened in the early 1900 and was finally closed recently. It was known for harsh abuse and a bunch of boys just "disappeared". Well after 25 years of trying it looks like the group of former boys are trying to get the truth out about what happened there finally got their wish. They are going to exhume the bodies in the graveyard. Plus archeologists have found a lot of unmarked graves in the surrounding woods. What shocked me was it was no secret in the town what was happening to the boys there. No one did anything. The community is now allowing this investigation but not without just about being forced to. It seems most in the town just want to brush the whole thing under the carpet and forgotten. True it was a reform school. But most of the boys there were nothing more than orphans. The rest were sent by the courts. None of them deserved the treatment they got. It seems the state and community are more worried about law suits and looking bad than finding out the truth of what happened at this state run school. What do you think?
