Graceville Vocational Youth Center
CCC #2008-02913
Complaint
This weekend at Graceville Vocational Youth Center one of the youth asked to
call the abuse line which is his right. He was denied and became involved in a
verbal exchange which included the staff taunting and antagonizing him. The
staff member bumped him twice with his chest and cussed him. The youth
eventually pushed him away. The staff then had him arrested. He sits in the
Jackson County Jail, 17 years old and denied his rights to call abuse. I have
witnessed him in the past denied medical treatment and made the butt of racial
remarks. This looks like it was done to be vindictive. Obviously the report
favors the staff although other staff and youth witnessed. There are no cameras
to protect the youth and I have seen this happen more then once. The media and
officials need to question this. Please let me know what I can do. [Click
