I would like to follow up on the comment above where Thayer says when our kids tell us these things going on inside, it is just a minuplation. Well, what I could like to know is how can it be a manipulation when several kids I have spoken with give the same EXACT accounts of what happens in there as my son did, and they have never met my son! If my son says something happened in there, and another student gives me an identical account of those types of events, yet they were not even in Thayer at the same time, how is that lying and a manipulation? Explain THAT one Thayer!
Oh, and the claims that the Reyes boy that died was "dragged" through the showers, I believe it because my son experienced the EXACT same thing. He was hogtied to another cadet and was "dragged" through the showers. And, he said that the tile on the bathroom floor is broken in many places, so that accounts for the cuts on his arms, chest and legs. And, I am sure that is exactly how Reyes got his cuts as well!
