Severe Child Torture Policy in Florida.

The state of Florida had a sadistic policy of exploiting children from lower-income, broken homes, and torturing them to bloody pulp through the use of weighted leather flogging straps. As many as 40, 60, 80, 100, and more lashes were perpetrated against children as young as nine to sixteen.

The immediate results of such ferocious treatment were double vision and partial blindness, with the skin beaten black as coal, and skin torn off leaving flowing blood. Many boys were beaten so violently their underwear became ingrained with their bloodied, injured skin and muscles; it had to be surgically removed at a hospital. The policy consisted in intentional, systematic infliction of extreme, horrific, skin-searing pain equal to pouring boiling water repeatedly over the skin, or pressing a red-hot steel plate to the skin repeatedly, plus the weight of a three pound or four pound leather paddle with a sheet-metal insert slamming down hard against skin and muscle.

Long term results were severely lowered self esteem, lifetimes of anger, physical, emotional, and mental scarring,distrust, frustration, failed marriages, violence, inabilities to bond and express love, post traumatic stress, and immense psychological problems, among others. These children your state spit on were kept in continual states of terror of being savagely, ferociously beaten for the smallest of infractions such as talking about going home, smoking a cigarette, not smiling, using the wrong tone of voice, and talking after lights out.

I was present at many beatings at the Florida School for Boys at Okeechobee. Some kids were beaten unconscious. One boy was systematically tortured for several weeks. One young boy was severely beaten at the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys at Marianna, became paralyzed, was sent home, and died four days later. Another boy ran away from being tortured at FSB Okeechobee. He was found shot between the eyes. His name was Patrick Timothy Gabriel.

For more detailed information on this topic, you can google this: The White House Boys. Theirs is only part of the story. This is not an advertisement. Nor is this an attempt at selling a book. This is an exposition of state sponsored torture and terrorism by the state of Florida.

There were also corruption, incompetence, and exploitation in the city governments of Florida. I, myself, know of examples where known serial-felons in our community who committed several felonies against me were protected by police from arrest and prosecution. Their felonies were never recorded, even after they became common knowledge in the community.

There is a great deal more to these stories than you will ever know. When you read crime statistics of small towns in Florida, you might want to add some points. Many offenses do not make it onto the books, including the crimes committed by your state and their agents.

This story was written by a primary source witness.

Try googling these. The White House Boys. Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys. Florida School for Boys at Okeechobee. Torture and murder at Florida reform school. Florida investigates graves of boys who were allegedly tortured and murdered.

The torture of children by agents of the state was officially outlawed in Florida in 1967. We believe various forms of state-sponsored abuses against children who are vulnerable to such exploitation continue.

They were crimes against humanity, and clearly violations of human rights. Police, tax payers, judges, and public officials were all complicit in these offences. Now that you know, if you don't do something about this state's DLL, you are complicit too.

Yes, there's no doubt about it. Florida was and is a cruel, child molesting state. What the state of Florida did to children was far far worse than sexual predation of children. What Florida did was terrorism, butchery, sadistic mutilation, and torture.

It's funny when you think about it, but not the ha ha ha kind of funny. More liike peculiar. They accused Michael Jackson of touching some kid, and they drag him through the courts. The state of FL sponsored the sadistic torture of children for decades, and will provide legal funds to protect one of their agents.

I really wish there were some way of laying out all the gross hypocricies in a way people could see clearly and comprehend.

I wonder what, if anything, can be done about that kind of sadistic abuse. I think we better take much longer and closer looks at the kinds of people put in charge of children in this state.

i think their punishment should be the same torture bestowed onto them. and let the boys do the beatings to them back
