Sleepers: Life imitates Film

Texas Senate Votes to Fire Youth Board - New York Times

How is this not making it onto cable news for their regular repetition of stories. This far more interesting and affects far more people than Anna Nicole Smith or last year's never ending story Natalie Hollawell disappearing in Aruba. 250 children being molested while being held in juvenile detention. The Texas Youth Commission (TYC) holds 2,700 youth prisoners, 9% of the prison population were repeatedly raped and molested by the prison guards! I am guessing the story is not being reported as much because the children that are being molested are poor and non-white. The news rooms of this nation are entirely off their rocker. The catholic priest scandal that truly broke in the summer 2002 didn't any where nearly as many children sexually abused and certainly not all in the same state.
