My teenage son is being abused at Delta Boot Camp in katy tx. ..This is the same type of facility that was shut down in Florida recently due to a child's death from the abuse he received. It's a state run extension of TYC (Texas Youth Commission) which for years has had problems with abuse and covering up reports of abuse. I made a report of the abuse anyway but I'm sure it will amount to nothing. If anyone knows of an independent organization that can help with these things or media who would be interested in doing a story to bring attention to this please post. Please help- any ideas or advice is appreciated. My son is suffering.  2 years ago...This is a court ordered facility, there is no way to go pick him up. He isn't lying about the abuse, he was skinny already and lost a LOT more weight since he's been there. I saw bruising on his face too. (2008)
Groups say abuse remains in Texas juvenile prisons--August 24th, 2010--AUSTIN, Texas — Four juvenile inmate advocacy groups have alleged that widespread abuse continues in the Texas juvenile prison system, almost four years after a sex abuse and cover-up scandal forced sweeping reforms. The groups submitted a formal complaint asking the U.S. Justice Department to investigate conditions in the Texas Youth Commission, the Austin American-Statesman reported in its online edition Tuesday. The complaint filed by Texas Appleseed, Advocacy Inc., the Center for Public Representation and the National Center for Youth Law accused the commission of failing to protect the 1,700 juvenile inmates in its system because of short staffing and the use of improper restraints and excessive force. A commission statement issued Tuesday said it has worked with two of the groups for three years to address the issues "and will work to fully investigate any allegations" in the complaint. According to the newspaper, the complaint also alleged that juveniles are not provided adequate medical and mental health care and educational programs. Also, it contends the number of youth-on-youth assaults in commission facilities in Beaumont and Corsicana remain high. Those centers had the second-highest rate of sexual assault among the nation's juvenile prisons last year, according to a federal report.  For complete story, click here.
Criticism over delayed TYC sexual abuse trial--August 12th, 2010--The advocacy group Texas Civil Rights Project on Wednesday called for a former Texas Youth Commission official to be brought to trial quickly, almost six years after he was accused of molesting at least four teenage boys in what became a statewide abuse scandal. Scott Medlock , an Austin attorney who represents one of the four victims in separate pending civil litigation, said at a news conference that it is unbelievable and outrageous that former West Texas State School Principal John Paul Hernandez is still awaiting trial. "More than three years after the public learned about these disgusting assaults, Hernandez's victims are still waiting for justice," said Medlock, director of the organization's Prisoners' Rights Program. "Prosecuting these men shows that if you abuse kids in TYC, you will be held accountable. Further delay undermines creating a culture of accountability." In a statement, the victim — now 25 — said he wants to "stop what happened to me from being covered up." "I need to move on with my life, and I can't do that until the man who violated me faces justice," the victim said in the statement. "I'm still struggling and I need some closure."  For complete story, click here.
