Talk:Boys Town (organization)

message: This article seems to include nothing about the financial scandals that clouded Boy's Town's reputation? One of the articles linked to this even mentions it, but the wiki article does not...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.113.248.2 (talk) 21:20, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

message: What about the molestations that happened at the Boys Town in Banning?
Is this being swept under the rug?  ≈Superbeatles™   —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 06:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Charles Manson connection?
: The Charles Manson article states that he was briefly sent to Boys Town.  I don't think it needs to be mentioned here, as it was long before the events that Manson is notable for.  Rodparkes 06:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahem... what sort of logic is that? Of course he wouldn't be sent there after what made him notorious. However, his experiences here would be important to ascertain to anyone who studied the making of the monster. __meco (talk) 09:20, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

message: There is a similar Boys Town organization in Australia (www.boystown.com.au) - is it an offshoot?  It should either be mentioned here or disambiguated from this one, as appropriate. Rodparkes 06:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

In 1973 the Omaha Sun, Nebraska was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Local Investigative Specialized Reporting for uncovering the large financial resources of Boys Town leading to reforms in the organization's solicitation and use of funds contributed by the public.

message: Massive swaths of uncited material, and things like company phone numbers and (R) symbols, give me concerns that an employee of the organization added material not covered in WP:SECONDARY sources such as newspapers and books, giving this article WP:UNDUE weight problems. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:51, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

message: I deleted this passage because there is no immediate relevance to Boys Town. The offender was no longer at BT at the time of the transgression and there is no reliable sourcing indicating that she was a problem while at BT. It invites innuendo. In 2015, a former supervisor at a Boys Town group treatment home was convicted of having sex with a minor, aged 17. The offender, a 32-year-old woman, was sentenced to five years probation. On appeal, the conviction was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Nebraska. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 00:09, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
