So basically this was a place where a bunch of demonic thugs could freely prey on little kids without consequences.
Absolutely 🥺
They just cowards !
What type of school is it really??
@@cammybaker7571 Sounds like many of these type places for boys, they call schools, institutes, orphanages, etc. is always the same... just evil!
First they had reformatory and they were an agoge, then they had group homes but kids and staff were lousy and the ones who did right couldn't do anything about the wrong, then they had boot camp for guys to feast on em again and now they just have jail because they get more money than ever by it. They are either nothing money chips or on the menu - even though there are non criminal homes, many, and some boys just rotate through em until 18. It has never been an area to "clean up" because they would have to pay monitors. We never thought reformatory was for anything but work farm of abuse....that was why they closed and "group home" opened.
The fact that it lasted until 2011 is just sickening
The abuse stopped way before then. I was there myself in 2007-2009. The state department of children and families had taken over. But the loved showing us "the white house". We were told how lucky we were. Because they couldn't beat us anymore.
@@albertarsenault5158 that's... a form of psychological abuse though. if they showed you the place and told stories of what happened there, it goes with the "if you don't behave well you might turn into one of them" association. even if everyone knew they couldn't do it anymore, for kids it's still terrifying knowing that it happened. it's psychological torture because you never know when the switch might flip and they'll become allowed to do it once again
@@paulambs you are absolutely correct. They played that card often. We were always threatened with being locked down for weeks on end. They did all they could to scare the living s41t out of us. For literally no reason other than to fulfill their sadistic desires.
@@albertarsenault5158 god this is absolutely atrocious and i'm really sorry it happened to you! to think that you suffered that a little more than 10 years ago is disgusting, evil people still exist no matter how hard we try to keep them away :/
Nobody ever said humanity was smart
My dad spent 6 yrs here. His stories, as little as he would detail, were horrendous. My uncle, his twin, was there the last yr of my dad's stay. He said my dad was sexually and physically abused and he believes even raped. They both told stories of beatings, slave labor, starvations and unbelievable punishments. Until my dad passed, 4 yrs ago, every single night as long as I can remember he cried out in his sleep several times per hour "momma" "mom" "momma". I wish he was here to see that the things he experienced are coming to light and he wasn't alone. Maybe could've got some help for his demons and wouldn't have drank himself to death.
What a tragic story, poor little kids who got there. Sorry for your loss, your father is in better place now.
😢 I’m so sorry
Wow. Sorry to hear about that. Pretty gripping true story and the effects…
It is certain in my opinion you cannot give one scintilla of evidence and proof that the story you tell us here is valid and accurate and truthful. I think you are just another White House boys cheerleader.
🙏🙏🙏
I think the worst part of this entire story is how the place was reportedly shut down, not for its mountains of accusations of severe physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, but because of budgetary issues.
It wasn’t shut down out of any empathy for the children enduring the hell. It was shut down for money. That’s beyond heartbreaking.
Capitalism
@@meow-sr2bl Capitalism also gave you the phone your using to comment on this vidoe while shitting. Stfu and go to a commie counrty if you cant take capitalism
well, it's florida, you can do practically anything in florida and wether or not you get away with it depends on the times and how sneaky you are
@@RoseDingus
And how much money you have, don’t forget that.
Like a former president said, you could shoot a man dead in broad daylight, but if you’ve got enough money to tickle the judge’s fancy, you’re a free man
That’s capitalism for you. In a capitalist nation we are only labor and numbers…not people.
BE AWARE THAT BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN THEY SENT BOYS TO A SEPARATE FACILITY THEY OWNED BY THE NAME OF OKEECHOBEE SCHOOL FOR BOYS, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN UNDER SCRUTINY DUE TO CLAIMS FROM THE BOYS KEPT THERE, TO THIS DAY THAT PLACE STILL OPERATES EVEN WITH CLAIMS OF BODIES BEING BURIED SOMEWHERE ON THE CAMPUS AND EVEN HAD A PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION DONE. DONT LET THIS GO UNNOTICED
Dang I wish more people would see this. Praying for those boys.
Are you trying to take a trip down there and straighten things out?
Turn off your caps, jackass.
@@rustyshackleford7469 so fucking down
@@yungcam6229 Seems like if a whole bunch of us go together something is bound to be done...at least I hope so never really know until you try
The fact that Charlie (the victim) remember the boys he was with full name- you could tell the trauma he had
why? I don't understand
@@lol5928 Because it had that much of an impact he could recall it all, duh.
@@lol5928 you don’t understand what👀👀👀👀🤦🏾♀️
I cant believe he actually been through this I hope he and the rest of the men get the justification that they deserve
@@lol5928 Since these people won't explain, these events happened to him starting 60 years ago and he remembers all the boys first and last names. This is a response to trauma, you often remember that entire time period with extreme detailed memory, or you block it out mentally entirely. Generally people struggle to even remember the first name of someone they only knew for a short time 60 years ago, if they remember them at all. So this speaks to how profound his experience was at the school.
During the depression this was common. My father and uncle were orphaned when they were 12 and 13
years old. They were put in a " boys
farm " in SE Wisconsin. They would
never talk about their experiences there. There were documented
lawsuits brought about by the beatings and mistreatment of
young boys there. For me I found
it strange my father spoke about
this. My father was a kind man,
he passed in 1996. He died of a heart attack and my mother found him on the bedroom floor. She called me and I immediately went there.
When the county coroner arrived hours later I saw something I will
never forget and wish I hadn't seen.
While he was examining my father's
body he asked me if I knew how my father got all the scars on his back.
I realized that in my whole life I had never seen him with his shirt off.
He even wore a shirt while swimming, saying he didn't want
to get sunburned. At that moment
I put 2 and 2 together. I never asked
my mother or uncle what they knew.
I don't want to remember my dad this way.
That’s wild I live in wisco and I never heard of this I really want to do research on it when I get home from work thank you for sharing your story may your father rest in peace
I am so sorry that you have that image now. Try to see those scars are proof of how deeply he loved you that he did not continue that abuse. Proof of how strong he was, how he reclaimed life from those who tried to literally beat it out of him. He won. Period.
@@thepaperfootballleague2313 It was called the Norris boys farm. I did some
research and one case
went to court. The plaintiff, a young man,
did not win his case because the judge thought that the severe
discipline was warranted. I believe this was in the late 30's.
Remember your father as a survivor. Not only did he survive, he kept that pain from his children. Instead of doing what some of our fathers do, beat us cause " that's how I was done". Bless your father's soul, may he be flying high. Wishing you and yours the best in life.❤
I'm so sorry that you had to see the suffering that your dad had endured as a boy. Luckily, you know that he ended up making it out ok. I know that nothing anyone says will make that image go away, I still see my father in his casket. It was one of the worst moments of my life. But I do try to remember all of the amazing times we had ❤
This is very similar to Lyman Ward Military Academy. I went there when I was 12. It was extremely traumatic. There were a few deaths while I was there, a planned shooting that was prevented before it happened (he brought a gun on campus). Due to legal issues after a slew of sexual assaults, tortures, and beatings they rebranded as the southern preparatory academy for boys. It was a living hell and I remember when a student committed suicide, a riot was caused when ghost peppers were lit on fire and kids were using fire extinguishers as smoke screens. I was taken out after my parents found brands on my arms when I was held down and branded by other students. It was a living experience of lord of the flies. My roomate was sexually assaulted multiple times by an older cadet and when it was reported they ignored it. It was a nightmare where we’d have to figure out ways to lock our doors so we wouldn’t get beaten at night by other students.
Wow... I'm sorry for your experience their.
That's absolutely heartbreaking. Seek Jesus, friend. He heals
how can people be so evil. I don't know who is worse the bullies in that academy or "normal" people of society for not doing anything about it.
The sickest part of this is that these ‘men’ probably went home to wives and children, knowing what they’d been doing to helpless little children all day, makes my blood boil 😤
Compartmentalise they eat their meal when they are starving people they sleep
well when those they abuse cannot because of pain and fear this is how they live
and still expect a place in heaven is waiting for them they need to think again.
J no probably about it those without conscience sleep well.
Just like all the celebrities on TV and the politicians. The world is run by satanic pedophiles, some just dont know it yet.
Wife: How was WORK honey?
Hubby: It was Great as usual, Babe,,, What's for dinner?
Probably they went home and also abused their wives and children.
"Don't feel sorry for us - feel proud that we brought it out into the open"
Strong words to end on.
Yes I appreciated that as well. 💞 This whole disgusting...I don't even have words to describe this ... It reminds me of the residential/boarding schools First people/ Native Americans were sent to as children. The trauma to multiple generations 💔 but the determination to not give up here, to take their power back from those monsters is just so inspiring 💞
Strong words indeed!
I’m extremely proud of you!♥️
GOD bless you sir and those whom have endured such horrifically! abuse! I will pray for you! 🙏🏼💕
You are strong and god bless you 💖
There was a place like this called the Bethyl School for Girls. My first cousin thought the sun rose and sat in that place and one day the guy that ran the place came to our church with about 20 girls. I watched him and listened to him speaking and I looked at the expressions on the girls faces and it took me every bit of 3 minutes to see that something wasn't right. I told my cousin that the guy running the place just doesn't seem right. He had the facial expressions, mannerisms and eyes of a violent man. My cousin vehemently defended him and I told her "Just wait and see what happens. I guarantee you there is severe abuse going on there." Of course she still denied it. Then a few months later the state removed all the girls to an "undisclosed" location for their safety and shut the place down because of---abuse. The next time I saw my cousin I told her "What did I tell you about that place?" She said "I never would have thought it was happening." I asked her "Have you ever REALLY looked at that guy? Have you seen his facial expressions and then looked at the teen girls blank, emotionless faces? It was so obvious that It took me all of a few minutes to see it." Chances are that most places like this are the exact same way. They use violence to try to "break" the students. And, if it looks like abuse is happening it probably is.
Your cousin is an example of how many people think. They refuse to believe what other people can see because they don’t want to see it. These are people who are easily led astray by on men, liars, charlatans.
This reminded me of the Glenn Home, an institution in our town where children who were abused were sent since the 1920s. It wasn't until the 1960s that a minister heading the school was accused by the teens living there of sexual abuse. The home closed in the early 1980s when foster parenting became a more favorable option for these kids.
This is why it matters so much.. if you see something, say something
Is there any info online of this place There seems to be nothing on youtube or google.
In 1984, at the age of 15, I was sent to the Anchor Home for Boys in Corpus Christi, Texas. This was another similar place where we would get beaten, paddled (I say paddled to bring up the fact that they knew how to use a paddle to the extreme; more than one lick to the rear would cause blood blisters.) There was a solitaire confinement that was barely a closet. When I returned home, I had lost 1/3 of my body weight, and not even my parents recognized me when I came into the airport. Others that I knew could not recognize me. I asked my parents if they knew what happened in that place, and they had no idea.
Jesus, I am so sorry. God bless you!
Back in the early sixties, there was so much abuse of children! If you were being molested by a catholic priest and told, you would have beaten into next week! The nuns carried the old thick hard wood yard sticks to smack you in the head with. Our neighbor was fbi, he would take his fist and smack you hard on the top of the head! Bastard! This was all ok back then to mistreat children! Children were to be seen and not heard! If you complained about the abuse, you got it worse.
I was at the Crain prison unit in Gatesville a few times over the last decade, & all of us heard tale of what all the individual prisons used to be on that unit...Gatesville State School for Boys. Then Hilltop State School nextdoor, then the Mountain View (now death row for women) was for the "maxx" delinquents....I became enthralled, and I realized how naive I had been the whole time growing up with a friend who routinely went to juvie....thinking that there was some sort of oversight, surely they're not taking them somewhere where anything could happen to them....I am mortified, and after reading on what those boys ajd you experienced in a first person narrative....I'm humbled and disgusted with the realization that every decent person who allowed their fhild to be placed in one such place would have the same innocent belief that surely their child would be safe and return home to them....
@@faithhmiller.755 Thank you. Most of our parents had no idea what it was like in those homes, or what we went through. They were lied to about it. The staff would beat us for the smallest infractions, or for no reason at all. Some would try getting mail to their parents, but you did not dare get caught.
I was sent to girlstown usa in 1984 at age 14. the whiteface texas campus. the stories are all the same. I got out eventually by breaking a real law and the state of txas took custody in 1986. the state schools were no where near as bad as GTUSA. I aged out to the street in 1987 3rd ward houston
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here." - William Shakespeare
Very true Emily. Demons have not been judged yet, they roam free
Bible says that also Woa for the earth. When Jesus became king , they were cast down to earth. And they are MAD. As you can see by how the world is
That quote is the absolute truth!! The devil takes on many forms!! And this story proves that!
Nailed it.
Darn he had to go to reform school...my brother had his adoption that disaplined him exactly as those boys....he had the same beatings and was full of anger from the abuse..he now is in prison and will die behind bars.
Those of us abused as a child usually become an abuser, commit suicide, or find help.i almost drank myself to death.thanks to AA 7 years sober and ready to forgive and help others.
Congratulations Eric! Your life is worth so much more than having its outcome dictated by a monster(S). Sending you love and peace xxx
You're an inspiration to others. May God bless you! AA saves alot of lives, mine included..
The comment about people who were abused become abusers is NOT TRUE! I came from a family of 9 children and we were all abused by our father. Beaten with tree branches and belts until blood ran down our legs and back. 2 of the girls were raped by him and one was constantly raped over and over for 8 years . I can HONESTLY say that NONE of us ever abused our children or anyone else's children. I firmly believe that people make a choice to be an abuser and it's a copout against being held responsible for their actions ! Really ticks me off when people say , Well he or she were abused as children and that's why they are abusers !!! We didn't want to hurt our children like we were hurt. We did just the opposite, we over spoiled our children !! ALL of my children are Christians as am I and they are not abusers .. the abuse in our family history stopped with our father ! And none of our 6 brothers had any daughter's. I know of many others who were abused as children and they are not abusers now. To make a comment like you did is reckless and has no merit !! And I am sure that all the people who were sexually abused in the Catholic churches would be offended by that comment too.!
I sit alone in my room all day never call ppl i order food from delivery never trust anyone. I have a whole house but dnt leave my room i grew up in a state run facility in Texas it damages you it broke me for no reason. I was a kid .
@@lostboi210 honey... I'm so sorry. I don't understand why society doesn't realize the impact of childhoop trauma. It never goes away. You're in my prayers. Remember that there are generally good decent people who don't want anything from you. They just want you to know you are loved. My whole post was corny, but i don't care...
Hey, 2024 here, this stuff is still going on all over the US. This is one out of thousands. We gotta start pressing these issues to our state for our nation.
I think Charlie is completely accurate when he says that Florida is just waiting for them all to die first. As a person who has spent time in the Florida Department of Corrections and turned his life around, I have seen first-hand the disgusting amount of corruption. I expect nothing less from the “great” state of Florida. I stumbled across this video. I had never heard of this facility and I was in prison about 20 minutes from Marianna. When they said it was in Florida, I thought, “of course it is. Where else would it be.” I’m so glad I left that state!
Considering how common this was all across the country, and even worldwide, at the time, that's a pretty ignorant viewpoint. But to each their own, I guess.
i dont think this happens only in Florida. There are horror stories about orphanages, mental hospitals, and normal hospitals, rest houses. Some days ago some old people living in resto houses were found chained in their beds, with no food, no water in a city here in Italy. Still today there are people soffering in public institutions
Yes Charlie fudge you got that one right. The state are just waiting for these no-good worthless little bastards to die off. They are hoping the story will go away
Well those white-trash boys did manage to get a memorial in the form of statues fashioned after the Vietnam memorial in Washington DC, a memorial for people who slaughtered and murdered babies and women and the children in Vietnam. How coarse and as stupid can they be?
@@scorp1551shut up your not from Florida so obviously you can’t feel what she saying. Keep your opinion it was unnecessary and unvalued just a waste
@@micheladerry5681you’re not from Florida so you don’t understand or feel. Pensacola is 30 min away and I’m not surprised. Most of these places are privately own that’s why they can do whatever. Millionaires like Michael Jordan invest in these type facilities. If you’re from Florida you would know that so keep your “it’s everywhere” sympathy to yourself
Being abused as a child is one of the worst things to happen in life.
Yes. Along with murder, sexual abuse of a child is likely the most destructive and evil thing one could do in this world to another human being.
But rest easy knowing this, friends:
The deepest and most despair-filled level of hell is reserved for those who commit such atrocities against a child. God WILL deliver justice, whether anyone "believes" he will or not.
Been there better for it.
absolutely. it fucks you up for life
Let me correct you: it it's THE WORST thing that can happen in anyone's life. Simply put it completely ruins you and makes it much more difficult to achieve your full potential later as an adult

I'm from Bradenton as well and know of Marianna. I graduated from high school in 1995. This 'school' operated until 2011. I have never even heard of this 'school'. How shocking that an institution of this size with such a tragic history should not even be known to me. My family has been in Manatee County for over 125 years, during the entire operations of this place, yet I've never heard of it. How do such atrocities stay under the radar of the general public being funded by our tax dollars? Thank you for bringing awareness of this black stain on our Florida history to my attention. I will certainly be researching this further.
Thing is still going on everywhere, they just hide it better but that is ending too !
You don’t know because the “mind your own business” loudmouths won.
Holiday Inn, I watched a dentist in Bradenton with his wife against the wall by her throat yet there was work to do so keep your head down and keep going.
We have to listen to the victims when people tell you they were abused. Stop covering up for your boys. You got to speak for integrity.
Jackson county has many stories! Look up the story of Henry Neal that was lynched there! It was taboo to even speak about it after it happened it was so heinous 😢
When I was a kid living in Volusia County FL in 80s-90s I had gotten into some mischievous activities such as skipping school, arguing with my parents, fighting with my brothers, stealing things from stores and after a trip to detention center my mom said if this keeps up I'm sending you to Dozier. At the time I had no clue what it was and I straitened my act up and sure am glad they didn't send me because I would have tried to escape I know it and I'd probably wouldn't be here typing this msg on YT today. Sad that all those poor kids had to endure such harsh punishments, and RIP to all that didn't make it out.
The amount of details Charlie remembers alone should be a proof of how much of a trauma this was, he's old and yet that haunt him
And to think that this school was still running in 2010 is just unbelievable!
I was thinking the same thing, Charlie most likely has intense trauma and something like this? You just don't forget...

@@ChristieStratos oh ok thanks. I thought they made a book about it.
@@brideauxd yes I know is real , I just thought they made a book about.
I knew people who worked there. After reading the Nickel Boys which is a novel based on Dozier, when I asked a friend who had retired by then about the stories I read in the novel she immediately told me: I have to go now. I still have bills to pay. I'll talk to you later. She never did. In fact by the time I got to see her again she had had a stroke and was in no condition to speak about anything.
Good sign she knew exactly what was going on. There is a special place downstairs for people who suffer children to be mistreated. Hopefully she encountered nothing but people like herself.
The “nickle boys”? Is that how much they were sold for to the highest bidder?
Silenced
There are so many stories like this all over the world for centuries. Millions and millions of un named graves adjacent to orphanages and reformatories. It’s true when the narrator says “their voices cry out from the graves”. They still seek justice.
My Dad was taken away from abusive parents as a child in the late 30s by the authorities. Him and his little brother were placed in a Council Childrens Home, where they suffered horrific abuse by the staff. People who take pleasure in abusing children are drawn like a magnet to these sort of ,supposedly, safe places for children.
Dad never told us much. He opened up a bit when he was an old man. He was a wonderful Father. His whole purpose in life was to create a family and be a good Dad. You were Dad, your girls idolised you ❤
I am so glad for your father to have found some beauty in life, must have been very traumatic for him, testament to his character to have come through so much and raised a beautiful family, prayers for all those that have gone through such depravity, God bless you and yours ❤❤❤
Evil hides at the top. The quicker everyone learns and sees the quicker we can condemn
Thank you for telling your story may your dad Rest In Peace❤️
I am 😭 God bless your family
God bless
I just want to comfort these men. They deserve the world after what they've been through. This trauma will never leave them
I just want to give them all a big group hug since it would be the only way I could help.... Not much, but better than the government
They should definitely get some financial compensation from the state...
Me…. I would prefer to line up the staff and one by one, with a bull whip, beat them until they can’t walk. That would be fitting. Then do it again a few days later. This is beyond. It takes my view of human nature and makes me wonder if we deserve to survive as a species. Not very evolved you say? People who do that to children are a breed of sub human. There is no punishment that is adequate for these jerks. No .. beating them is wrong. It feels good to say but life in a supermax would be ok. Life. No parole.
How dang awful this must've been for them. I can't imagine grown adults taking delight from the beatings and sexual abuse. The devil is real and it shows by how they treated these kids.
Comfort or blow?
This isn't just one bad teacher or a few bad officials. This was *generations* of psychopaths all ending up running the same school.
The fact that nobody talks about this really pisses me off and whenever you bring it up people tell you to be quiet about it because it happened so long ago but if they bring up something that happened so long ago but a bunch of girls apparently it's like it happened yesterday.
These boys deserve just as much justice as missing and murdered indigenous women and girls
🤦using white victims to perpetrate your narrative is bizarre. Everyone deserves media attention regardless of their presenting status as a human.
This was a state funded institution, that’s why there is “no one” talking about it.
TH-cam users discovers everyone deserves justice regardless of their racial, sexual, or physical appearance
I was abused as a child. The scars never heal. I am 65 years old and still have nightmares. I can’t imagine what these boys went through. I’m so sorry and hope they find some peace. God bless each one of you.

As a mother of an 8 year old boy, When I heard that they screamed “mommy” while being beaten, my heart broke into a million pieces and made me so angry. Those poor babies. I hope these child abusers are suffering the worse pain imaginable in hell.
You know why the school stayed open for so long even after have been checked multiple times?
The Goverment, they are not here to help u they dont care. Why do people think the sex trade/ human trafficking never gets taken down, because its government officials from around the world that run it.
I'm not religious but people like the abusers here make me hope there is a hell.
Too bad hell isn't real. If only it were that easy to get justice. These are times where I wish it was
Same. 😭
If they believed in god, all they'd have to to is ask for forgiveness and they'd spend eternity in heaven. It's why I hate Christianity
As someone who comes from a brutally abusive and intolerable school, this makes me want to reveal its crimes against humanity as well.
Do it. If what you say is true it would only be right to speak up, not only for yourself, but others that are too afraid to do so for themselves
So do it or shut up.
foh gaf@@billwilson5341
You have to give that testimony 😢
As you should. Do not take it to your grave. These type of evil spirits should be exposed. So sorry this happened to you 🙏🏽
A school shouldn't need a cemetery. Wtf
My brother was sent there in the early to mid 80's. He made it out alive but was severely traumatized. My mother couldnt prove anything, and since we were poor, we had no chance of a fight. I couldnt watch but a couple of minutes of this video, because of what they did to my brother, it has also traumatized me and my other brothers. The people who ran that place were indeed EVIL and SICK!
Oh my god, I wish you and your family the best. Watching this video makes me disgusted and sick. A child might "miss behave" but no child EVER deserves this.
@@itsacheetah Thank you Ava. My brother is now deceased from a car accident. So I like to think he is no longer suffering, and is my own personal angel.
@@TandysHandcraftedCreations I am sorry for your loss, but I am glad he is in a better place now.

Sorry I meant u dont have to be there to feel the pain and hurt
My uncle was at that school in the 50's. He would not get into specifics as to what happened to him there, he said it was horrific. He cried when he told me he was there. It left an indelible mark on him for the rest of his life.
Wooooooooow 😞
So sorry for your uncle 💔
Love and good thoughts out to your uncle, what he and many others endured here is hellish and sickening. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone
Damn all the people that hurt him and God bless your uncle
PTSD 😢
My heart goes out to Charlie and all of the other boys who suffered at the Dozier School for boys. I look at my 4 young boys ages 9 to 15 and it really hits me hard that those boys were just like my own. This is truly one of the saddest stories I have ever heard. 😢 💔
In the early 90s my husband and I were moving out of FL. We were exhausted and had a flu bug. It was late so we decided to stop for the night. We stopped at Marianna. From the minute we got there we got some real bad vibes and it felt like everyone was watching us. We didn't feel safe at all. We got some rest and got the hell out of there. And then years later I come across this. Thanks for the story! Wow!
The words "school" and "cemetery" just shouldn't be used together
Welcome to America
In the past, kids died away at boarding school pretty often. About 10 percent of kids still didn't make it to adulthood in the 1920s. The pandemic deaths, for instance, couldn't have been helped and happened everywhere.
Idk it’s so common for a school to be right next to or across from a cemetery. Weird, right?
@@seline.michell dude my school is close to a prison 🧍♀️
You got that right!
This poor man Charlie sounds so dissociated as he’s reliving these horror
It's the only way to deal with a pain as that- I feel awful hearing all of these stories about that school
I have to wonder if he really did beat his kids....
@@Charlie-hv3dh omg Charlie is it u
Nathaniel O'Vaughn he said he didnt because of his trauma
This ABSOLUTELY rips at my soul! That ALL these boys, over all these decades, were treated as horrifically & cruelly for so long, is 1 of the most AWFUL things I've ever heard! This is so heartbreaking!
Same shit is occurring today all over the world.
Thank goodness for brave Mr. Fudge. Telling his story records it for history.Those poor boys.
I met a man who went there. He said "I lived my life in the hopes of going to hell so I could confront that bastard". He knew the name, but I don't remember. I am a hospice nurse...he told me more stories than I ever wanted to hear...but I listened because he felt.like talking. Horrific stories. He and 5 other men wrote a book about the atrocities they experienced. Sexual abuse was a big one. He was so nasty to the staff, I decided to find out why. He said "I'm a White House boy"
If I were a nurse and one of those offenders in my care he would be in for a rough time with me. Lol
I was a care giver as well; it takes a certain person to be in hospice care- bless you. I worked with Alzheimers & dementia people mostly. The stories I heard...not as "great" as yours.. Thank you for being an ear for that man.
@crash burn yup. I would have been buried there.
He was nasty to the staff because he was deeply hurt within from experiencing all those atrocities. You never know about people's lives unless they tell you what they've gone thru. A lot of times it explains their personalities.
O
There should NEVER EVER be a statute of limitations on any abuse ESPECIALLY on children!!!! What a horrific way to tell someone that none gives a shit about what you've been through!!
I agree.
The statute of limitations is lifted in UK for childhood abuse. It should be a normal part of American law too.
@@aaronwalderslade Most US jurisdictions allow for charges/claims to be brought forward for a period of time *after* the "victim" turns 18. We don't allow them to be brought forward indefinitely, because that seems like a form of crazy, and opens the door wide to abuse people with false allegations that will never be capable of being proven or disproven. IIRC my state allows for a 2-3 year window after you turn 18, regardless of when the supposed incident took place. Problem is, a lot of people don't think to do something until they are MUCH older; like 30+.
💯
I agree...there shouldn't be any statute of limitations for things like that! Who knows how long, if ever, it takes for someone to be able to work through that trauma enough to come forward about it? Every person and every situation is different! I don't care if it happened 70 years ago, if the offender is alive and it can be proven in court, the abusers should have it given right back to them! Fuck those sick bastards! God bless every single boy who had the unfortunate experience of walking through those doors. And curse every single person who looked the other way, or participated in the abuse. I hope they are burning in hell while getting tortured like they tortured those boys. I almost wish the souls of those boys who died were giving the torture, but no. They deserve to be at peace in heaven, away from any sadness.
Some parts of this video were rough to listen to, cried twice.
Being a mother to two young boys... wow I feel awful for the families affected.
There is a special place in hell for those people who harmed those boys
I can’t stand when people say “I’ve known such and such for x amount of years, they wouldn’t do such a thing”😒…we NEVER truly know anyone…sometimes people have secret thoughts, urges and desires that they do not divulge, to anyone ever..they just act on them in SECRET…until it’s not a secret anymore. I put nothing past anyone.
🎤...... 👏 Exactly!
Absolutely!! 🎯
People are married to conartists for YEARS not knowing they took on a man’s alias (as the wife). And has past records for heinous crimes.
Ikr? As if that kind of person openly shows how disturbed they really are. People are so naive...
Serial killers lead double lives with partner and kids and act charming. Those sadists did too. They knew their disgusting cravings and what they did to those boys weren't 'allowed'.
If officials don't want to do their job, it is - at least in my opinion - obvious they are somehow involved. It wasn't just the school that profited of the slave labor.
👍🏼
So these children were DYING and none of the parents of these dead boys thought to raise hell? How do you ship your child off and just walk away? This is already heartbreaking and I’ve just started watching.
One guy that was in there said that they abused/killed the kids that didn't have a family more bc they knew nobody would be checking on the boys and questioning the teachers.
Guess you've not been keeping up with the world at large. You've not heard of Judge Donna Scott Davenport and her program that puts minors in jail. Look up her name try not to puke. How her actions haven't gone viral is still shocking to me. She's coming more into the spot light but it really needs to be thrown in everyone's faces.
It's super sad, but it was also very common to send boys off when they were being bad or just being kids in general, and alot of the time they would just accept the fact that they "ran away and must have died from the cold and got pneumonia"
Super sad and heartbreaking
You underestimate the power of "authority"
You’d have to kill me to take my boys ,, my late husband kidnapped them some monsters out there
We had a mother and baby home in Ireland that was found to have 800 bodies in unmarked graves... The home was only open for 35 years. There were countless of these homes as well as industrial schools where people suffered the same fate. Unfortunately the story of Dozier is not a one off. This happened all over the world for centuries.
You can just never understand how something like this would go unjustified considering how many boys never returned and the fact so many people have opened up and nothing has been done. Im sending all my support to you old guys out there, i can never understand what you guys went through and i hope you live your lives with your family and friends happy and hopefully you guys get justice for such a vile crime
English Trainor most of the information on these videos by the White House boys is a bunch of lies. The exaggerate a lot of stuff and they also leave out a lot of vital information.
"You can just never understand..." Perhaps YOU can't understand. I can.

A lot of people ask about me because I am loved. Again though, why are you asking?
@@billwilson5341 Crazy how there's people like you in this world who just act like complete assholes for no reason then say corny shit like this
"Perhaps YOU can't understand. I can." Like how pathetic do you have to be to try to make yourself sound superior or better than others under a video like this? Is your self-esteem really *that* low that you have to try to sound smart under a comment talking about how it's awful such horrid child abuse has practically gone un-punished?
I was born in 1958 and at the ages of 11 and 12 I went through these same kinds of physical and sexual abuse while at St. John's Reform School for Boys in Uxbridge Ontario, Canada. Ever since, I've been in and out of jails, penitentiaries and psychiatric hospitals. Life is calm and quiet for me now, but my life has been very hard and I do very much consider myself a survivor. They didn't break me.
I'm sorry they treated you cruelly, and I'm proud of you for reaching a peaceful calm quiet life now. I've battled ptsd and found a way to live in peace and I know far too well what a long journey that is. ⚘
Thanks much for your words. I was surprised but warmed that someone took the time to respond. PTSD is definitely a pain in brain. I'll hope and pray that you're having MANY more good days over the amount of the bad days. That's the way my life is going now. Stay strong! Keep smiling!

@@AmbiCahira My last message was meant for you. Technology eh??? ;)
Lots of love and prayers for you, I hope you are doing well now. You are very brave to share your experiences, you are a survivor and I am sure you are very strong person because not everyone can survive such horrible abuse and talk about it. Big hug for you!
Just thinking about how they mentioned a kid in an industrial dryer. Beatings are horrific but it's another level of evil to put a living being in a dryer. To burn to death while tumbling around in increasing heat all while a window is there to watch sweet safety so close yet so far? The implications when they mentioned made my heart drop several more levels. I feel so bad for everyone there but especially the kids that died in such gruesome ways.
This made me so sad… the evil humans are capable of is sickening. Who would do this to *anyone* let alone a child?!?!
@@thesilvershining This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's just insane to think about let alone experience. I simply could not imagine going through something like that. Just imagine all the lives that were cut short for seemingly nothing at all. And to die in such torturous ways. Because that's what happened. Those boys did not die short, sweet deaths. It was drug on and on until their bodies physically could not take it anymore.
@@skappytriplett6430 Yeah its super sad. And the fact it was all ignored early on? And is still being ignored to this day is even worse.
literally turned my stomach when he described the leather whip, sent a shiver up my spine too I can't imagine the blinding pain from that thing
Children are innocent.
Adult men (and women) who were responsible for abusing these children should have faced justice
Child abusers are possessed by demons.
May the boys who were murdered there finally rest in peace 🙏🙏🕊️
No, they weren't. They were/are sadists. You gotta wonder what they went through to have the ability to do these horrendous things to these kids.. if anything. I'm curious if they were hired because they were psychopathic or did seeing other people doing this there make them think abusing these kids was alright. Were they always this awful or become awful. Were they like this with their families (if they had one).
No they're not possessed by demons or anything at all. They are evil that clearly was hired because they shared similar sentiments as other evil already there. I wonder, however, if not all the staff was quite so demonic. Notice how 'many reports/allegations of abuse & mistreatment surfaced'....who reported it? Not likely the students, as they were completely censored & threatened. People that left the facility? Perhaps some. But they would likely be ignored also, saying they were 'out of there, so why complain now? You're just bitter etc. etc.') I bet a FEW of the staff did try reporting it...at least as they could....but nothing happened. How sad all around, those poor men.....& some of them are still fairly young, since the facility was open until 2011.
I applaud these men they are continuing to fight for the trauma they endured. And the fact, people still are turning a blind eye to this just infuriates me.
He is in 60 y.o .. but he still clearly remembered All the memories and the pain... i can't imagine what he gone through back then and how a little body can endure that ... it's really a heartbreaking 😭😭😭
He said he's 74.
Bless you Hun 😘
there was literally a serial killer at this school and nobody’s doing anything about it
Why don't people think it's a serial killer if they kill a bunch of kids as part of their job?
Probably more than one, after hearing all this.
I wonder how many became one as a result of the abuse..!!
I was thinking the same exact thing, so many dead bodies. Serial killer, and its probably more than one. Like a band of them working there. Its sick
The more I hear about this, the more I suspect this is what bred the infamous generation of Florida Man.
Very sad story.
It reminds me of being in a place for kids without parents, in former Yugoslavia.
We were mostly abused by grown-up boys and rarely by the people who worked there.
Abusings were severe in many cases. I listened to beatings that happens in the room above mine, and the screamings were terrifying. There were sexual things too, but not openly. Someone could force a kid to perform oral sex or something like that and a kid would probably later become Bi or homosexual.
The beaters were incredibly strong, about 18-19 guys who badly beat a 10-year kid for jumping on the bus, trying to take it (ironically, he became a bus driver as a grown-up, and he loved the buses).
I was once beaten with harsh slaps to admit something I didn't do it. When beaten too much, I admit and that guy let me go.
He pretend like he was the boss, the one who knows the best, so why not slap little kid around (I was about 8-9).
He was a very authoritative, intimidating, and strong guy.
One woman who worked there (she was short and therefore fired up soon after she came because of incompetence) watched all from close and didn't interfere at all. She asked me "Why do you admit?" and I said because that bully guy will continue to beat me. It wasn't the only case, but I'll remember the good times too.
This was far from the case in the video here, but we taste some of it.
Parents should remember:
The worst nightmare in a child's life is without them.
Nobody will love that kid as parents.
I opened my heart to those people who were molested. You're not alone 💓
It transcends ideology too ugh😢😢 it was global
Abuse does not make people change their sexuality. It's true however that many gay abusers are skilled at spotting gay kids even before they know what they are themselves.
My childhood home (Wildwood Circle) was a pasture away from this school. As a kid, we’d play in the pasture, the graveyard and run up to the fence’s of the school. My parents would always say when we would get out of line, “y’all better act right, cause the bad boys go to the School for Boys on the other side of that pasture”..Looking back, we all didn’t know what really happened there but deep down it scared the hell out of me seeing them boys on the other side of the pasture. It set me straight, that’s for sure. I lived in fear knowing that was my supposed outcome if I got in trouble. We never knew how bad it was, my mama and daddy, us as kids, until it started to become exposed. Sad tbh. 😢 I never wanted to be on the other side of the pasture……
God bless you, Charlie Fudge. Thank you for speaking up for people who no longer have voices. You truly are a hero.🤗

My jaw just kept going closer & closer to the ground as I listened to this. This is so heartbreaking. These poor kids didn’t deserve that!!
Owen's mother had literally every right to have her son's body exhumed, moved somewhere else, and even get it autopsied. The school can't just go "sorry, we've already buried the boy in the backyard," and that just be the end of it
Youil be suprised its not just this school all around ireland have places like this .
I'm sure there are many schools, homes and foster care homes that have endured evil abuse of all kinds! My heart goes out to those who had to endure this type of life! May God heal you and bless you for eternity!🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was my first thought, like you just accepted the fact that they buried your kid without telling you? I’m sorry but I would’ve made so much of a ruckus on that campus and made sure I got that school shut down and my child exhumed from that makeshift grave.
@@nickowen8077 I have watched several documentaries on those notorious Magdalene asylums. So sickening
@@Nandoswitharando Easier said than done. We're talking here about a time where certain people could have been placed in certain facilities because they were "hysteric". And if it's not that, how many people do you think had to be involved to keep such a horror show running? I'd say the police was in it as well, so if one of the staff would have called them, the person complaining could be lucky to get out there without gotten beaten as well.
What I mean by that is, I'm sure the mother did all she could at that time.
I'm mad at the parents too.
Who isn't a little disobedient? Kids do mischievous things! Doesn't mean you have to send them away! You be there for them. You take care of them. You advice them.
When kids are mischievous, people think they need to be punished.
How about we seek other ways to approach that.
I am absolutely horrified that parents didn't care to come visit and talk, have private conversations with your children.
That absence have silenced them.
Yeah it's sad the parents abandoned them.

@@daffnikharkongor6622 I agree! 👍 Usually bad behavior is learned.
most of the time it wasnt on the parents it was court ordered and the judge sent them there and prob got a pay off for every child he sent there as well the parents had no choice
finally someone who understands what i think, kids are kids they sometimes don't know any better but it's not like the parents never did mischievous things as a child
The movie Sleepers from 1996 is based on a true story of another boys school with similar allegations of abuse. Great film starring Brad Pitt, Brad Renfro, Robert DeNiro and Kevin Bacon among others.
What makes people so evil & cruel to helpless children is how these monsters sleep at night 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
The fact the nurses, the teachers, the cooks, the tutors--No one said nothing to protect these babies. Charlie many blessings over your life! You are strong, you are not your past. Justice for The White House Boys.
Let this be a reminder to everyone, people say all the time that "those things couldn't happen, somebody would say something "
“No one said nothing”, huh? Oh nooooo
It’s happening today it’s called group homes
@ü38 o how?
God/Goddess has a special place for ' people ' who do this sort of shiit to kids.
Charlie spoke of a man polishing his boots with vaseline, that's alarming because any blood hitting the vaseline would slide right off, and it would keep from staining the shoes. You can wash clothes or replace them, you can't really get blood out of shoes.

@@BlueSkyCountry well that easier said than done u r aware they had guns right?
@@BlueSkyCountry u can say that but they were children, they wanted to survive and probably hoped that their WAS a way out. it was so different than what u imagine esp because most of them were probably so physically and emotionally broken by that point that they never could've gone through with it. kids probably did try to retaliate, and they probably died because of it and nothing changed.
@@BlueSkyCountry yeah sorry but that's an easy enough thing to fantasise about, but not at all a realistic choice for traumatised children. The oppressive atmosphere that surely existed within that place had probably manifested in a sense that time and time again that anyone who acted out died, discouraging anyone from even trying to think about it.
My heart already started breaking when I saw the group photo of the boys in their underpants. I looked at each boy's face and their eyes belied their sadness. I hope so much that the survivors are able to overcome what they were put through.
God save these poor souls and give justice to those who lived
I currently live in Marianna. On and off for almost 30 years. I attempted to have a conversation with one of the older gentlemen that survived his stay at Dozier.

That place was open up until 10 years ago?! The entire state of Florida needs to be sued for allowing that shit for over 110 years!
I am sickened that this school closed only because of BUDGET ISSUES! The US, land of the free- where is the freedom for every child who was laid to rest in an unmarked grave? I know older people are nostalgic for the good old days, but I'd choose to pass on being alive in the time when these men were kids, or any day and age when this was considered acceptable enough to actually happen... Except this place only closed ten yrs ago, because they didn't have money to keep paying these disgusting people to abuse children to death! I'm so mad.

Are you outsourcing your comment to AI for experimentation?
Wow. I stumbled across this video by accident and its blown my mind. My old neighbour told me he escaped from this place back in 1966! He told me about the beatings, the sexual abuse, the starving, the slave labour ect. If I'm being honest I never really believed everything he told me until now and I'm ashamed of myself. He escaped and hitched his way to ohio when he was 15 and ended up in an orphanage there until he was 18. Then he moved around for a few years and ended up immigrating to England where he changed his name. He was my neighbour for several years until he moved again.
He told of digging graves and wondering who they were for. Until he realised one day that it could be his own grave and that's when he decided to make a break for it. Luckily he got away. But the poor boys that didn't? Heartbreaking.
I can’t imagine what that does to a person
Please don't blame yourself for your disbelief, it's utterly horrific and cruel what those poor boys endured... It's devastatingly heartbreaking. Your elderly neighbour... I pray he is well, hugs to you too sir.

My son was a boy that was sentenced to go to Dozier School by the juvenile court several years before it was closed down. He was 15 or 16 when he was sent there. I didn't find out until years later when the news started to break about all this about the shit that was happening there and I asked him why he never told me.. He said "he thought it would cause even MORE abuse to happen and he was already terrified". He started using drugs, to escape psychologically and it took him YEARS to get past the trauma he went thru at that evil place. He also was never allowed to get sunscreen or anything either even tho he would burn by even looking at the sun thru the window and suffered blistering sunburns the entire time he was at that place. He had many scars from the blisters. He died from Melanoma skin cancer 3 years ago. He suffered horribly in the last 8 weeks of his life. He left 2 young sons behind at age 36 because of this horrible place

how this place remained open during the 90's and 2000's all the way up to 2010 is beyond me, especially since child protection laws were put in place to protect children in these situations.
It truely is terrifying how recent this was
Did these victims have parents? If a parent sent a child here, how does the child die and the parents just say “oh ok he’s not coming home…”. I don’t understand how places like this can exist.
Some of them didn't have parents. Some had parents that just didn't care - wanted rid of them and got them declared "incorrigible". The ones whose parents asked were just told their kid had run away.
They came from homes of parents who wouldn't be listened to either
The way they do it nowadays ("your kid is manipulative and lying about what happened" etc.) is from a long line of similar abuse, also
Not to mention they can also just tell the parents. If you were told there was a fight or an accident and your child was dead, would you be thinking “I better investigate and see how many other kids have died.” Or would you just mourn and move on?
@@radicalxedward8047 In many cases, there's nothing the parents could do to have any effect on this - they were likely poor, likely to be non-white. Others viewed these "incorrigible" children as unwanted throw-aways too.
*My dad and uncle escaped Dozier in 1973 after they had ran away from home after years of physical, mental, and sexual abuse by their dad. Although my dad only beat me once, and I never saw him physically abuse my sisters, I watched and heard him beat my mom for the first 10 years of my life. My oldest sister urinated in the bed until she was an adult. My uncle still urinated in the bed while sleeping until he died at 55. These are the ripple effects of over 100 years of state sponsored child torture, rape, and murder.*
that's so sad. shame the times back then didn't have much help for abuse sufferers.
They caused generational trauma for many families.
😢
I'm so sorry :(
what must you do to even get punished to be sent to that school? firstly i dont think any normal person would be sent there
There’s a similar facility that operated in South Korea where they abused orphan kids and forced them to work. The Kdrama “Blind” is based on that story. It’s heartbreaking knowing people can be this evil.
This is heartbreaking may all those men that beat those young boys rot. God bless you for speaking about what went on in that cruel place ❤
As a mother, hearing that preteen plus year old boys screamed for their mothers hits strings that sends me into rage mode. Most kids I know that age think they're big and bad and don't call for their parents. That age I started wanting to call my parents by name. To know they were so terrified they were screaming for her to save them makes me cry. Those poor babies😭
Imagine that poor guy that got snuffed out by that racist ass cop that sat on him for 2 min after he already stopped breathing and ended up dying obviously. He cried out for his "moma" too who was actually dead which makes it even sadder but he was a full grown man literally crying out for him mama.6 in front of onlookers who just stood, recorded and watched his life get smothered from him. I actually cried watching the body cam video which is one of the most horrific and heartbreaking things you'll ever see.

@@joshqnorris this isnt about GF
@@joshqnorris how is this relevant?
He’s comparing what happened to these boys to what happened to George Floyd and how they both called out to their mothers while being tortured and killed by people who abused their authority. That’s how it’s relevant🙄
@Boss lady Even if it is relevant, it is still not appropriate. The george Floyd stuff and the dozier stuff are two completely different entities. And for people to try to compare them because of one singular similarity is incredibly inappropriate and disrespectful to the victims and their families. Sure, the george Floyd issue could have been avoided. And sure, it is important to talk about and not forget. But to bring it up in this instance, unprovoked, is disrespectful for the both the dozier boys and george floyd. And as someone who, I'm assuming, sides with George Floyd, I'm surprised you're still defending the person who bright it up unprovoked.
The saddest part is how so many people seem to neglect and doubt the survivors. They need to be taken seriously, I pray they find catharsis
I hate when victims are dismissed
Indeed, in this case there is 0 reason to lie. It is old men talking about their horrible childhood, not some random accusers swarming on a "cancelled" celebrity or a controversial politician. (Where there is easy money to be made) I usually go by innocent until proven guilty, but here both the evidence and credibility are overwhelming.
@@bellaknightR597 they aint all fuckin little helpless victims murderers n rapists n serial killers went there also
I’m a resident of Florida and that place is one of the creepiest places to go. I still remember the day I was driving my family back from Jacksonville and came across this place. It’s horrible you see the path leading up and all you can feel is just a dark eerie feeling. A story called the Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead was based off the horrors from this place. The AP teacher that got me looking into this recommended the book said teachers in the state used to joke about sending the unruly students there.
I stumbled onto this channel, got intrigued and watched many of these videos now. Subscribed now! 🤨😮💨
This needs a Netflix documentary.
Pretty sure there's one on TUBI about it
The movie sleepers on netflix
@@tribe-queentizzle827 what is it called?
@@carlosanaya4149 it's called "boys school" on tubi
netflix would drag it on for 3 seasons just for the watch time. They would cover half of the stories and say the staff were mentally ill rather than telling the truth that there were rich powerful people visiting this place to r. a. p- e boys and ritually sacrifice them after torture.
Poor kids 😔 as if having incompetent or absent parents wasn’t bad enough…
😞😓
U also have people who have children and dont want to deal with them so they send them away and dont care. That's not everyone but these days that's the case and unfortunately these kids got the shit end of the stick and its heartbreaking.
Some parents werent such. Like that mother of the kid that was shot with rifles. They trully believe they would be offering a better life. I feel for them. The only monsters in this story are the adults in that reform school.
It's always the most vulnerable that get pray on...
Were I live there was a shift on power... (modern times). Kids started to report abused and it got serious investigated. People got arested. Destroyed. It turn out many of the kids were making it all up.
Isn't the best lie the one that mixes truth in it?
That's why this people get away with it!
No one would believe one of this boys back then.
All will believe one right now.
Society does change. But somehow injustice continues to have the upper end.
🥺
@@sitcomsTV ikr I bet if most of those parents knew they wouldn't have sent their kids
Truth is stranger than fiction.
This is so sad to watch, knowing that your early years where you are trying to learn new things and experience and discover great things is being corrupted by evil. I can't imagine myself if I have to go through those nightmare, I have experienced physical and mental abuse but not that worse of what they all go through. I'm glad most of them survived but for those who didn't may you find peace and comfort with our maker. Praying for you all.
ANY time teachers are abusing kids and the kids tell their parents: "OH you're exaggerating! They don't do that! Stop making things up!"
Ikr parents are stupid
I think the parents really just didn't care about their children they sent there. Im assuming these beatings went on for months, possibly a couple years until the boys were finally sent back home, and the parents didn't come by to visit once? A letter home every month was all they needed?
@@ftgodlygoose4718 maybe they didn't know what was a happening
Thats the motto in tallahassee... trust me
Not this PROUD BAT SHIT CRAZY momma over here!! The minute my daughter mentions anything to me I'm up in that b!tch faster than the wind itself! This momma here don't play them stupid games especially in this day in age! Parents PLEASE ALWAYS TALK TO AND QUESTION YOUR CHILDREN!
Those "men" who did all the abuse went home and were perfect husband's and fathers because they used these boys as "things" to hurt. So at home these "men" had stress free lives! Disgusting that their families just don't believe they could do such things.
I smell a intergrationist 👃🏻🤚🏻🤚🏻🤚🏻
@@Catholictomherbert _what? Are you trying to say integrationist? And how does it relate??_
@@TheBlairWenchProject the reason it relates is in my impression to sort out the black Africans and white Americans
@@hugokuylen3988 You best stop givin em’ lip boy or you’re gettin a whippin’. Ya hear?😡
@@callofdutycrazyfreak ?!
I have been following this story since it came out,God bless these poor kids.
I enjoy true crime stories (I don’t know if enjoy is the right word) but so many TH-cam channels fall short. They post quantity over quality, do minimal editing / voiceover and don’t present background or well thought out commentary.
EWU is the only channel that I’m confident will present interesting stories, thoughtful commentary and factual background information. There really is no other channel like it. I keep making the mistake of clicking on other channels thinking that they’ll scratch my morbid itch, but 9/10 times they are severely lacking.
Thank you, EWU!!
I would suggest "Well I never". He's a very good story teller
I enjoy That Chapter
As a boy who finished public school in Jacksonville in the late 80’s early 90’s we actually joked (but legit feared) about this place. You see a buddy doing something stupid and you’d be quick to say, “be careful you’re going to get sent to the farm!”
Great video EWU!! Such a sad shameful place.
So what did you hear was going on there?
@@rachelreneer56
Physical abuse and child labor were the big rumors we heard. Being made to work all day in the hot, humid North Florida climate is deadly. That’s probably what caused many of those deaths. Boys were over worked and they probably withheld water from them too. You can die quick in that kind of environment.
@@sparks2spare782 thank you for replying. It sounds terrible. It breaks my heart
Yeah even though from 🇮🇪 Dublin when similar stuff was going on here .Everyone knew you be sent to the Christian Brothers. Crazy times sadly still going on .I love to fund a fund raiser for to Scan the Area etc .As there's more stuff there but Gaines the Gov is waiting for these Survivor's to die and all will be lost .
So this is what Dr Phil means when he says we're going to the farm
These kinds of ‘reform camps’ NEED to be made illegal. There are far too many stories of people places like these being abused with no way to fight back. It’s disgusting
Edit: I’m so glad my comment is sparking conversation about these awful places, but if you’re here, if you’ve read the other comments and replies, you already know how common this bullshit is. Please, please, PLEASE Go find a petition to sign, do something so this shit never happens again!
Private jail system still is rampant
Americans condemn nazis when they have this going on in their own country, kind of ironic.
@@AlkaVirus Yeah, fucking hate it here
@@AlkaVirus that's because our history books rarely mention stuff like this in our own country but never let us forget the horrors of the Nazi Party. Our education system is fucked.
@@orion_starchaser not an excuse. We live in the age of the internet now and have for quite a while.
you'd be shocked to know that shit similar to this is still happening today. it's still being disguised as "help". i ended up at one of these schools in 2012. traumatic to say the least.
Thank you! Someone who understands that the same shit is occurring today all over the world! Most of the commenters here seem to think this is a "one-off" event. Take care, my friend.
Taking a kid, who might have some rebellious tendencies (because they're kids for fuck's sake) and traumatize them is nothing short of deplorable, sickening and heartless. Why do people feel pain is the best motivator for "change"?! It only makes them worse in other ways. I've dealt with my own abuse as a child that affects me even today but, none of it was as bad as what these kids went through. I am truly sorry to every one of the kids who have gone through and are still going through things like what happened at Dozier at other facilities across the country. I know so many facilities like this fly under the radar and get away with their mistreatment and abuse.
My best friend just died. He told me about his childhood attending a Christian Brothers Catholic day school and orphanage in Irland. The beatings and sexual abuse were rife. He said at least he got to go home at night but the orphans didn't. The boys who did not comply would be sent to so-called Hospitals run by Nuns and you never see them again. One boy lay in front of a tram and died because it was preferable to living at the school. My friend suffered all his life and took to Alcohol at an early age. But he was one of the lucky ones and turned his life around. When he died he had been sober for 49 years. RIP Tommy F
the stories of catholic orphanages and schools in ireland are absolutely horrific. i'm so sorry for your loss, i hope he is at peace now
RIP
@@yeoisa - It is no wonder the Irish despise the Catholic Church now.
@@yeoisa why don't the police do anything about this??
@Simulation please don't bring this kind of energy into topics like this. it's different in different places, this kind of stuff happens to women as well. it just shouldn't be happening at all.
I was in a religious boys home when I was a kid. I went in a clueless kid and came out more street smart than anyone back home. Never ever trust someone with your kid. Especially someone who's doing it in the name of god.
@grizzlybexar, or in the name of the government! 🤔
@@lylecoglianese1645 👏 👏 👏 Exactly
....and God had nothing.
Yep people who use the Bible as a weapon and not a way to live. Hiding behind religion to commit evil.
I’m so sorry ….I hope you’ve found peace and happiness. Children suffer at the hands of evil adults
Been watching your videos for awhile now EWU, somehow I missed this one - wish you would do more historical stories like this! Tragic yet fascinating. Best narrator on TH-cam. 👍👍
This reminds me so much of Canadian Residential Schools. The fact that people are capable of such atrocities, and disguising these facilities as "schools", is despicable.
