Youth Problems Investigated
A four part Kansas series by Leroy Towns examines juvenile care failures. The first piece recounts a 15 year old boy who killed himself after being released from BIS Topeka. Officials describe lack of parole control and fragmented authority across agencies as key failings. The boy, named Larry, had stayed in BIS over a year and returned to western Kansas before his death. The report flags weak aftercare and community reluctance to supervise troubled youths.

The humid spell lasting days made the rain welcome as children ignore shelter and seek wet fun outside 1608 S. Oak.
