Florida - Exhumations Approved at Shuttered Reform School - NYTimes.com Gov. Rick Scott and his cabinet on Tuesday voted to allow anthropologists from the University of South Florida to begin exhuming the remains of boys who were buried decades ago at the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna. The reform school, now shuttered, had a history of neglecting and abusing the boys in its care. Accusations of abuse spanned decades. A group of elderly "White House boys," named for the building where they say they were beaten, have come forward in recent years to speak about the abuse. Anthropologists began identifying the graves in a portion of the school that had been set aside for black boys during segregation. Family members of some of the boys who died at the school have fought for more than a year to have the bodies exhumed, examined and reburied in cemeteries closer to home.
