Almost 50 children's bodies found in unmarked graveyard at Florida school

In an absolutely horrifying story, a forensics team has found that a secret graveyard hidden behind a Florida reform school could be home to nearly 50 unidentified bodies of past students. Now, families and former peers of the victims are speaking out to say the deaths were actually caused by abusive school administrators!

The "Obama Phone" nonsense
http://dailybail.com/home/worlds-richest-man-gets-richer-supplying-obama-phones.html has been debunked many times. This goes to show that even people who publish good, reputable sites can get it wrong. Need better vetting!

What in the hell has been debunked about that story. The phones exist. The subsidy and program have grown to $1.7 billion annually. They are routinely called Obama phones. And there is a website that advertises the program that calls them Obama phones.

The program needs to be overhauled immediately. End of story. This is not a race issue. I'm not trying to fan the flames of hatred. This is pure economics.

DB, These orphanages have commited these crimes for years. There recently was a case in Canada where about 30 children were bought to an orpanage, lined up along a trench and shot to death, covered up and I believe had other children plant trees on top of them. This happened to Native peoples just after WW2. The local tribe there ordered the Anglican church, the Catholic church and other government agencies off the tribal property while they investigated the mass burial. Mr. Lewis has posted here the claims of the goings on of the Vancouver Club and the orphans at boys town. It is just amazing how sordid this stuff is and that not a whole lot of people ever get in trouble for this stuff.
