Chairman Miller Statement on GAO Referral to FBI in Death of Child at Missouri Residential Program
Thursday, October 25, 2007
   
WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, issued the following statement today.

“I was informed today by the U.S. Government Accountability Office that it has made a referral to the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding the death of 15-year-old Roberto Reyes while he was attending the Thayer Learning Center in Kidder, Missouri, in 2004.

“In light of the seriousness of this case – in which neglect, if not outright abuse, likely contributed to the death of a child – I urge the FBI to treat this referral with urgency.

“Roberto Reyes was one of an untold number of children who have died in residential treatment programs around the country. Earlier this month, the GAO reported finding thousands of allegations of child abuse and neglect at these programs, which include boot camps like Thayer, wilderness camps, and other types of programs for troubled children.

“We must do everything we can to end this nightmare of institutionalized child abuse. There is a clear and urgent need for Congress to act to regulate these programs, and that is what we intend to do.â€

There's an article in New York Magazine about a man being convicted of buying child porn, and being sentenced to 150 years. I don’t think child porn is nice, by any means, but I’m flabbergasted that “the feds need to be called inâ€

Are the FEDS getting involved because the local and state law enforcement agencies did not do their jobs properly?

I called the New York City division of the FBI about a year ago and tried to get someone to listen, they said nothing could be done.

I think in the case of Thayer the difference *may* be that a boy died. Sadly it may not be viewed as a police matter untl there is a specific tragedy
