According to the NY Times, "An investigation into sexual abuse and mismanagement at the Texas Youth Commission has led to the dismissal of 66 employees with records of felony charges or arrests, including one convicted of homicide and another who had pleaded guilty to attempted murder, the state official leading the inquiry reported Wednesday."

They say they aren't sure if any kids were harmed. Yet someone sure was trying to get the ear of the commission.

"From early March through April 27, Mr. Kimbrough reported, 2,972 calls and complaints came into a command post hot line, with 1,463 of the cases closed. Eleven employees have been arrested, and 12 senior executives and three facility superintendents have been fired or have resigned, the report said."

Under the care of people like this, it is most likely these kids were emotionally if not physically tortured. How disgusting!
