The director of a juvenile boot camp was found guilty of reckless
manslaughter in the death of a 14-year-old boy who died of
complications of dehydration and near drowning after training
exercises. Charles Long, left, 59, director of "tough love" camps
called America's Buffalo Soldiers Re-enactors Association, in Phoenix,
was also convicted of aggravated assault not related to the death of
the boy, Anthony Haynes. In July 2001, Anthony began acting erratically
and eating dirt under the desert sun at the camp. Counselors took him
to a hotel and put him in a bathtub, where he inhaled water while
unconscious. Mr. Long was accused of having the counselors take the boy
back to the camp rather than to a hospital. He is scheduled to be
sentenced on Feb. 2. [more]
