About the episode

White crosses on unmarked graves, rusted metal bunk beds and ivy-lined concrete halls - that's all that's left of the Dozier School For Boys.  From 1900 to 2011, It was one of the largest juvenile reform institutions in the US. It operated under the guise of 'reforming' wayward boys, but when victim-survivors and families came forth with allegations of horrific abuse and suspicious deaths, its reputation turned sour.  How many children were buried there? In this episode, forensic anthropologist Erin Kimmerle walks host Kathryn Fox through her excavation of the site and what she found lying beneath the grassy pastures.  If you or anyone you know needs help: Lifeline (Crisis support and suicide prevention) 13 11 14 1800 Respect (National sexual assault, family and domestic violence counselling line) 1800 737 732 Men's Referral Service (National counselling, information and referral service for men looking to change their behaviour) 1300 766 491 Full Stop Australia (National violence and abuse trauma counselling and recovery Service) 1800 385 578 MensLine (help, support, referrals & counselling services for men) 1300 78 99 78 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
