Young black kid died after receiving a beating which made him unconcious and then he died a day later because of a undiagnosed blood disorder. The kid was a juvenile offender in a florida police military style boot camp to correct him. the guards and nurses were not guilty for manslaughter in the trial today.
My question is how can it be legal for florida to run a boot camp for juvenile offenders and BEAT the JUVENILES and its legal yet during my military days, when I was in boot camp (2002) the real military, the training instructors are not allowed to lay a hand on you without your permission, let alone hitting you?
amazing, your educated thoughts? what is wrong here.

boremington, i said educated thoughts. Any one who has the balls to serve there country knows that the first thing that happens is you go to MEPS (medical facility) and they do a complete physical including bloodword before you go to bootcamp. Why was this not done for this guy, as you said he clearly has a disease, which would have been caught through the screening process.

space he was in there cause he violated his probation for stealing his grandmothers car and trespassing in a school. hardly violent crimes.

the parents received 5 million from the state of fl to settle all civil suits. if it was up to me, i would have held out for more money or go to trial and stick it to them

I'm not familiar with the case you speak of but it sounds absolutely horrible to me. Unfortunately our legal system is truly dysfunctional. It's the prosecutions job to prove the crime was committed. Sounds like they failed miserably. Something tells me there's a little more involved than what you've posted however.
*Thanks for the link. Sounds like a travesty of justice to me but I wasn't privy to all the evidence submitted during trial.

That is probably going to go through state supreme court and the decision will be over turned. It should be illegal for them to beat any child for any reason. Juvenile offenders should be rehabilitated, not severely punished.
Sure he may have died from his blood condition, but his condition was irritated by the people beating him up so it is still their fault. I'm sure in time the parents are going to get a lot of money

this manner of challenge--what to do with youthful criminals--turned right into a the front web page tale in my paper as we talk. specialist opinion is shifting faraway from the lock-em-up-and-throw-away-the-key philosophy of the Nineties. A 13 365 days old mind does not paintings a similar way as an individual mind so their will be desire for him presented juvenile detention is used for rehabilitation and by no skill purely warehousing. If he could nicely be rehabilitated as a juvenile which will be more low priced than holding him in reformatory continually.

Hi...
I believe this is an extreme outcome of a routine "hands on" counseling session. I admit I have not seen the video of the beating, but I have heard it was excessive. I understand these officers were doing what they thought was right to help straighten this kid out... but several men beating this kid is dead wrong.
There are other ways to gain the "willing compliance" of the kids in these camps, but the Liberals would call this torture.
I think it's important to keep things in perspective. What they did was wrong. They probably did what they were trained to do... and thought they were doing what was necessary. But... they went to far, (and have probably gone too far before).
I think it's disingenuous to point out the kids race, I don't think it was a true part of the beating or the judgment of the jury.
My opinion...? They should have gone to jail.
Warm regards
Douglas

I can't see how anyone could justify beating a juvenile to death. But with a Bush in charge of the state I guess anything is possible.

Wow. That's not right, but remember some of the juvi murderers in there. Some kids I wouldn't even call human because they do such rediculous things, and maybe they deserve it... I getting tons of thumbs down for this
