From "For Their Own Good" St.Pete Times
Dr. Wexler is dead, but his daughter remembers helping her father, who had poor eyesight, when their family lived on campus. Sheila
Wexler says she occasionally treated boys who had cuts or welts on their behinds. "But if they needed a stitch," she says, "it
would only be a few." Would you beat your child until they only need a "Few Stitches?" A casual, horrific statement that shows the
mind set of Marianna.

Michael O'McCarthy, one of the Original Four WhiteHouseBoys, died April 3, 2010 in Costa Rica
during a back sugery. Michael was one of those rare individuals that shake the world.  Without him
and his journalistic ties, this story may have never reached the press.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

The Infamous "White House" punishment
room where floggings with leather whips
were administered to boys as young as
eight to ten years old. Some 25-50-100
lashes were the rule of the day. The
marjority of the floggings were carried out
on the younger boys, ages 8-13
Flogging was abolished by Governor
Hardee in 1922 as too brutal a
punishment for hardened convicts. It
would continue on at The Florida School
For Boys until 1968. This is the worst
case of institutional child abuse in the
United States.

Andrew Bowers, a chaplain at the Dozier School from 1959 to 1963, recalls: For most of its history, Dozier freely practiced flogging as a method of
discipline,or as a matter of whim. Mr.  Bowers remembers,  "they would spank the boys when they did wrong or really whenever they wanted to. Some of
them they treated pretty bad. Sometimes they'd spank the children until they couldn't sit down for days. Many beatings were administered with a
"weighted-leather-flogging strap.  "Source: http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/flsupct/78161/78161ini.pdf     starting at page 15-18. Testimony from a court document.
