Teenager Dies At Florida Juvenile Boot Camp

A tragic story comes out of Florida where it was reported that a 14 year old boy "mysteriously" died just hours after entering a military-style boot camp for juvenile offenders.

What struck me most about this story was the fact that even though the investigation is not complete the local sheriff's office is already making statements that the boy was not abused in any way even though there are reports stating that the youth had a cut lip, bloody nose and abrasions on the side of his head. You can see where this story is going. Another case of law enforcement covering up for it's own.

How nonchalant do you think authorities would have been if instead of the boy dying in a juvenile detention facility he had been found like this at home? Exactly, the parents would be in custody and the authorities would be hard at work trying to get to the bottom of things. At least Governor Jeb Bush is calling for a hard look at these types of facilities but it is too late for the 14 year old boy.
