Definitely written from a point of view.

The point of view is that western civilization is bad.

I would have liked to see much more context, the total number of boys, perhaps testimony from a former guard.

Lots of suppositions about evil deeds by the staff of the place.

It is very difficult to know just what happened after several decades, We can be pretty sure that most of the boys were not stellar citizens.

The article would be more credible if had some information from the other side.

No doubt bad things happened. Very likely crimes were committed. But most of what we are told is supposed, or what people thought might have happened.

If you read both articles it is pretty hard to argue with the Physical evidence and the shallowness of the state's investigation should embarrass the state of Florida. The state found no evidence of wrong doing. Yet the state found only 31 graves. The scientist found 55 graves. The state did not find that the grave yard was not even in the same place as the graves. The state did not even glean the correct number of deaths at the school from the written records.

There are fairly large number of men that come forward that are former inmates at the 'school' that tell detailed stories of abuse at the hands of specific guards. These men could be call witnesses. Witnesses to crimes.

Not all of the boys were delinquents. Some were termed incorrigibles. Some were runaways.

So if you are looking for a more balanced investigation of this unsavory bit of history I don't know where you are going to find it.

“Lots of suppositions about evil deeds by the staff of the place.”

Testimony from multiple victims is “supposition” since when exactly?
