Horrific things were done to these children! My uncle survived but still has emotional scars. Those responsible should be held accountable.

My brother-in-law was one of those boys. I wish that they could do to those men what was done to them.

I felt the pain, because I was in the reform school in Okeechobee, Florida in 1963

my brother went to Marianna. He was beat and I saw the black, blue and purple marks on his back and legs. He wasn't quite 12 when this happened. My mother and I saw this and she went into the office raising heck. If I can help testify, please let me know.

No statue of limitations should ever be able to prevent child abusers to avoid the law or prevent those that were abused from seeking JUSTICE.

No child should ever to live with the abuse the child should be forced to abuse mentally physically or sexually for any reason at any time any where. no child should have to live in fear from the time they wake up until they lay their heads down and then be afraid to go to sleep and this is what happen everyday. Please acknowledge this petition and change the law.

There should never be a limit to the time someone can be brought to justice for hurting a child to the point to where it effects him through out his life.
