What happened at the Bay County Juvenile Boot Camp in Florida in 2006 was a clear case of murder: A 14-year-old who collapsed was beaten by drill instructors and had ammonia shoved in his face until he died.
Eight employees involved in the massacre were charged with manslaughter. They should have been charged with murder. But they were let off the hook for the manslaughter charge.
Now one of them - a nurse who refused to intervene to save the teenager - has lost her license to be a nurse in Florida. The State Board of Nursing said that her conduct during the assault was unprofessional and negligent.
Among other things, she improperly distributed the ammonia capsules to the drill instructors, she performed no emergency treatment on the teen at any time during the attack, and she didn't even provide paramedics with complete information.
With a new administration in Washington on the horizon, there may still be activity at the federal level against the guards and the nurse over the boot camp murder.

This nurse got lucky. She should have served prison time. She sat back and did nothing as 7 grown men brutally beat a boy to death for being sick. Apparently it was commonplace to treat youth like this at the boot camp.
ReplyDeleteI hope she eventually does time or has to pay fines to the family for the rest of her life. As for the drill instructors,...LOCK EM UP! THROW AWAY THE KEY! Let's see how they like being treated like shit and possibly being beaten to death in a prison like they did to this poor kid.
