...But with no doctor on staff, most would wait two weeks to receive any medication, he said.....
...The school has been at the center of the controversy because two administrators were allowed to resign in 2005 for allegedly having sex with boys in their care.....
...investigators have opened 615 misconduct and abuse cases systemwide, TYC spokesman Jim Hurley said Friday....
http://www.chron.com/: By a Texas Ranger, "When I interviewed the victims in this case, I saw kids with fear in their eyes, kids who knew they were trapped in an institution within a system that would not respond to their cries for help....
...Neither man has been charged, though the case has been revived by the attorney general's office and the local district attorney.
The Ranger's report indicates that one of the men was living with a 16-year-old unrelated boy on prison grounds. Investigators found pornographic magazines and sex toys under the youth's bed; the youth denied having any sexual contact with the school official....
....The public rebuke of TYC's board came after five of TYC's six remaining board members recounted that they learned two years ago of the Texas Rangers' investigation but neither spoke with a Ranger, ....
http://www.chron.com/ : ...A Texas Rangers investigation in 2005 found that key employees of the West Texas State School in Pyote had repeated sexual contact with inmates. A later internal investigation confirmed the findings and said top officials knew of the abuse but did nothing to stop it.... emphasis added

http://www.burntorangereport.com/ : Apparently the Texas Attorney General's office and the US Attorney General's office were involved up to their eyeballs pertinent to NOT prosecuting the assaults and sexual assaults.
These kids are at the mercy of "the system." What can we expect of our youth when half of our fine, upstanding citizens are criminals of the worst order and the other half can't or won't do their jobs? I hope they get everything they deserve out of life.
Those we children in the Texas juvenile justice system, beware.
I'm off to write letters of disgust to our reigning officials. Appalling.
