The Tampa Times from Tampa, Florida • 22

THE TAMPA TIMES, Thursday, June 21, 1973 Long summer brews from page one cells out of commission that night, and 17 boys to bed down, four were required to sleep on floor mattresses. The boys maintained in this building are there either by court order, awaiting transfer to another facility, designated constant runaways, or placed there for the protection of others. The only activities for the boys, besides television and reading is a basketball court. It is on the court that many release their builtup aggressions, either on other boys or the supervisor who is always with them. The heat of the day and the increased irritation among the youngsters spelled trouble for the supervisors that night.

I was immediately warned by Mike Parrish, one of the two youth development specialists on watch, that something was brewing. Already that evening, they had to separate two 15-year olds when one threatened to kill the other. Finally one was removed to "freeside" (boys dorm) for his protection. During my few hours in the center, I watched, listened and tried to put together the pieces of the human puzzle that appeared. Some boys were quiet, others just sat and chatted, and some were con-.

stantly testing their adult peers. It is in this building that one boy recently charged a supervisor struck him. The supervisor has been suspended and an investigation is being conducted. Not wanting to comment on the case specifically, Parrish said that surprisingly very few charges against the supervisors are trumped up to get back at them, but the youths will try anything to get out, he added. Parrish admitted that several years ago, force and abuse were used in controlling the youngsters, but not anymore.

While some types of restraint must be used to break up fights, Parrish said he has never had to strike a child, and doesn't plan to. During the entire discussion with Parrish and his co-worker, Bill Brackan, a nine-year-old boy sat in a corner of the office drawing pictures. Parrish said he has to keep the boy away from the others since he is constantly agitating them to the point where they strike back. The youngster had already spent a 30-minute stretch in the lockup that evening, and Parrish told him he would have to sleep there that night "for his own "I don't like doing it, as it will psychologically mess the youngster up," Parrish said, "but I have no The final hours of the shift were spent in the boys dorm. Here the heat, humidity and stagnant air seemed to be at a peak.

Only 18 boys were being housed in the building that night, most ranging from 12 to 15 years of age. They were, for the most part, loud, boistrous boys filled with youthful, aggressive energy, all seeking an outlet. After showers, the boys and their supervisors, John Hardy and Stan Jefferson, gathered to drink ice water and have a jam session. Both supervisors use the session as an outlet for the youngsters. Despite the showers and ice water, as the boys sat in the recreation room, the perspiration continued to pour from their bodies.

The heat also made them irritable. Their questions ranged from how they could get their names in the paper to why they can't smoke. As the restlessness grew, the supervisors saw the need to bunk them down. Two young boys were placed in a separate bunking area, to "protect" them from the older boys. By 10 p.m.

the lights are dimmed and the youngsters "sack out" for the night. A tense calm prevails over the grounds as a roving guard walks among the buildings, flashing his lights at moving objects and checking open doors. Back at the administration building, the day in the life of a delinquent is just beginning as two young boys are processed for admittance. In a small office, supervisor Bill Lane noted that 63 per cent of the youngsters in the home have been there before, and chances are they will return again. It would be unfair to compare Lake Magdalene to other facilities, not having seen others, or to say that the facilities and programs are the best or worst.

But from what I could see, the supervisors and administrators seem to be doing a good job under the conditions that exist. Even the youngsters, who are faced with unnatural confinement, manage to maintain their cool to a degree. However, like any other institution where people are required to "toe the line" to rules which they do not agree with, the line between hot and cool is thin and fragile. Unfortunately, all the ingredients are there for the making of a long, hot summer. Daily Word Game TODAY'S WORD CONTESTS (CONTESTS( KON tests.

Funeral services will be held Friday morning at 10:00 o'clock from the Chapel of the F. T. Blount Delinquent home changing from page one these kids will try to use him for their betterment. The transfer of the Seffner budget and staff to Lake Magdalene has helped to alleviate the staffing and and supervision problems to a degree. But the space problems continue to exist.

The courts send the youngsters to the center concerned about their safety and welfare. Because delinquents cannot be placed in jails when picked up by the police, the home becomes a receiving station for youngsters off the street 24 hours a day. Overcrowding, space and staff problems are the so-called external problems. There are also the internal problems which must also be faced. As Sacks said, "you can't treat these kids as you do your own at home." For this reason, the pressure, anxiety and tension builds.

The kids naturally resent being watched constantly and continually use the supervisors and staff personnel as their outlets to blow steam. Forrest Suttles, Hillsborough County school principal at the home, said he could never understand how the supervisors withstood the constant retorts by the kids. Unfortunately, Sacks noted, the supervisors are only people and therefore can only take so much themselves. Being constantly cursed at, spit at or kicked in the shins would raise the boiling point of anyone. But they are "definitely dedicated," he said.

The result from many of these confrontations are allegations that a child has been struck or has been roughed up. Sacks said he investigates all charges and makes immediate suspensions where there is solid evidence of a supervisors misconduct. But the number of suspensions are Dewitt, 79, Dorothy MathSaraso- Moon, 63, 83, Sara- Home, 5101 Nebraska Avenue, with Rev. A. Butner, Pastor of the Six Mile Creek Baptist Church and Rev.

Lewis, 76, of Lithia, held Friday afternoon p.m. at the Salem PriBaptist Church with few compared to the number of charges, many of which fail to provide any substantial evidence. Because the allegations and charges always hit the press hard, Sacks said, the much needed praise for many of our programs or personnel often falls to the wayside. And yet, the new director, having been appointed in January, does foresee a possible solution to ease tensions and pressures at the home. Reducing the number of youngsters in each dorm, revising dorm construction, and increasing the number of supervisors would definitely improve the child-adult relationship, Sacks said.

He is also seeking to increase the number of ombudsmen at the home for funneling questions and answers between his office and staff and the youngsters. He now has one and wants three. After the last "riot" which Sacks termed a "disturbance;" he said he questioned the kids involved to find out why. State investigators confirmed Sacks' findings that the food was good, there was no mistreatment, but the kids "just objected to confinement." At one point on the tour through the facility in which Sacks and Hamner pointed out the need to remove cage screening which divided some sleeping quarters, air condition the buildings, and repair laundry facilities Sacks openly discussed one of his major irritations. Tour groups the ogglers who who look at the kids as if they are monkies in a cage are beginning to irk him.

"Don't take me wrong," he said. "I don't object to the press or persons or students seriously concerned about the welfare of these youngsters, or those persons doing studies which will eventually help the program and the kids. just don't like people coming to look. It's not good for the kids," he concluded. CONVALESCENT SUPPLIES SALES WHEEL CHAIRS HOSPITAL CRUTCHES AMPLE PARKING IN REAR UNIVERSITY PHARMACY 5510 BUSCH BLVD.
