Boys Town in Omaha,
Nebraska is a legend with its history of helping to
change the lives of many troubled youth and has long been a tradition in Omaha. But it did fail with regards to
one ex-resident still living in Omaha, who still proves to be a menace to those that encounter him in situations that cannot be avoided.
Larry Major is
one example of a failure that requires Boys Town to swallow their pride. We don’
t know what criteria are used by Boys Town to determine if someone is suitable to be returned to society, but it is a fact that this
one extreme defect managed to slip by their scrutiny. Considering what they had to work with, they probably could only do just so much, to draw a good analogy; like trying to rescue a rabid dog. This miserable aberration however should not be considered a reflection on the fine work this institution continues to practice.
