Researchers Identify Two Sets of Boys Remains at Notorious Dozier School

What's wrong with this quote? Isn't pervasive abuse criminal conduct?

The Justice Department confirmed pervasive abuse, but a 2009 state investigation did not find evidence of criminal conduct.

    And secretly burying the bodies. To me it would seem there would be no statute of limitations on these acts since they were committed by a gov run institution and the secret burials would suggest the deaths were the result of the abuse.

    Sound to me like someone had the judge bought. Maybe he should be being investigated, too.

      Yeah ... I'm reading more about it on Wiki, and I am just amazed that there haven't been any arrests.

      In 1903, an inspection reported that children at the school were commonly kept in leg irons.[5] A 13-year-old boy sent to the school in 1934 for "trespassing" died 38 days after arriving there.
      In 1982, an inspection revealed that boys at the school were "hogtied and kept in isolation for weeks at a time", and the ACLU filed a lawsuit over this and similar mistreatment.
      ... and this. How could they say (when they were investigating) that the deaths weren't linked to actions of the staff if they never dug up the graves to see how they died?

      Bones, teeth and artifacts from grave sites were sent to the University of North Texas Health Science Center for DNA testing. In January 2014 the University of South Florida announced that excavations have yielded remains of 55 bodies, almost twice the number official records say are there.[39][40]
      Over one hundred interviews of former students, family members of former students, and former staff members of the school were conducted during the 15-month investigation, which produced no concrete evidence linking any of the student deaths (it was determined that the thirty-one graves at the facility had been dug between 1914 and 1952) to the actions of school staff, or that there had been attempts to conceal deaths.[8][6][31] None of the graves were opened during the investigation.[32]
