The forming of the organization which became known as THE WHITE HOUSE BOYS was formed to expose the bloody beatings, molestations, rapes and murder of many young boys at the former Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna. The University of South Florida is now digging up the remains of hundreds of boys who were killed at that facility. This was exposed by Roger Dean Kiser in his book titled "The White House Boys-An American Tragedy.

This is not an easy story to tell and it with a sadness, and a heavy heart, that I have to tell it. Wayne and I were raised in the Children's Home Society Orphanage in Jacksonville, Florida. 3165 Sad Diego Road to be exact. From the age of three to age fourteen we children at the home were unloved, unwanted and were considered as undesirable. We were considered to be as useless and nothing more important than "a head of caribou in Alaska" a...

These are the photos I took at the closing of the "White House Torture Chamber" ceremony in October of 2008. Included are also photos of the "Rape Room" and the cemetery where many boys' bodies have been recovered.

If you were to drive down a long, narrow, winding grassy road, hidden far from sight, deep in the beautiful, thick underbrush of the North Florida woods, you will find the decaying bodies of thirty-two young boys, some possibly as young as nine. Some were burnt to death, some were raped and some were beaten to death. The United States Department of Justice, along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will now try to determine 'the truth.' ...

The destruction of many young boy's and girl's lives was the final result of abusive treatment in many Florida reform schools and youth facilities. The bloody beatings, rapes, molestations and in some cases even the murder of young children became common-place.

After being raised from the age of five in a terrible orphanage in Jacksonville. Florida then being sent off to the Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna, Florida and then finally to prison at the Lompoc Federal Correctional Institute in Lompoc, California, I look back and see that as a child and young boy I had a good, kind heart, in spite of the horrors I went through. Now as a seventy-seven-year-old man what happened to those wond...

EMT Emergency Medical Technician THE GOOD-THE BAD-THE FUNNY- THE SAD For several years, with Pennington Ambulance Service, located remember well at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, Georgia, I witnessed many terrible things. I also witnessed many good things and the kindness in many hearts of the people I came in contact with during that time. I actually live at the hospital in a back room with several other young men named Junior...

What happens when the only thing left to protect a child from bullies is his own shadow.

Well, I suppose capital murder, first degree murder, second degree murder and even manslaughter should be easy to prove as long as the suspect agrees to make a statement and verbally confess to the police once he or she is arrested. The story I am about to tell comes from my former cellmate when we were incarcerated together at the United States Federal Prison, located in Lompoc, California. The fact that Wendell had killed a judge and murde...

A fan-fiction (TRUE) story regarding the true abuses, molestations, rapes and murders of many young boys at the FSB Dozier School for Boys at Marianna, Florida. This was the longest running news story in Florida's history. The book "The White House Boy's-An American Tragedy" by Roger Dean Kiser sparked an investigation into the deaths of hundreds of boys at the facility from 1901 to 2011, when the school was finally closed.

The story is about a crime that could not be solves by the police, FBI or myself. The twists and turns through even the best detectives for a loop. When power rules evidence seems to disappear or crimes are committed for personal reason which has nothing to do with the murders themselves.

I was considered the most disruptive child attending Spring Park Elementary. Little did they know that I was the saddest and the loneliest child in the school building? I suppose it is impossible for a teacher to love every child they meet throughout their career. It has certainly become legally dangerous for any teacher to hug a child. Hugs are not necessary in order to save a child, all you have to do is look at them with a look in your eyes...

These are the war stories which (for whatever reason) haunt the dreams of orphan, Roger Dean Kiser.

It is my intention, through my book, to try to relate to teenagers the pain, suffering, and sadness a runaway child feels after reaching adulthood. The teenager who takes to the streets, and experiences what I describe in my book, both the good and the bad, will forever remain sad, lonely and in a state of total distrust of family, friends and spouse. As an abused teen, living in a Florida orphanage, I had to always walk a very strict line. An...
