But the sins of man will always rise to the occasion (Numbers 32:21-23).Who lies beneath the more than 30 white metal crosses — bearing no names or dates or other details — at a makeshift cemetery near the grounds of the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, where youngsters were routinely beaten and abused in the 1950s and '60s.Two memories exist of this time 50 years ago; one recalls horror and abuse, the other recalls juvenile delinquents getting their just rewards. Time will tell; the state of Florida plans a forensic investigation.
