Boys Town . . .
Continued from page 9 ,
The article adds that over a two-year
period) the youth care staff was reduced
from 268 full-time employees to 206.
Dwite Pedersen's twin brother Dwain
was also an employee at Boys Town for
many years and was fired in January 1979
over a confidentiality controversy. A
student had given Dwain Pedersen a photo
graph of a family -teacher that consequent
ly raised a controversy at Boys Town.
. Dwain Pedersen was fired when he refused
to reveal the student's identity to the
administration.
Dwite Pedersen said he felt his brother
actually was fired because he spoke out in
opposition to the administration on a num
ber of occasions.
Dwain Pedersen filed grievances against
Boys Town after his release but, said
Dwite: "Boys Town bought him off.
Financially he needed it. No one would
hire Dwain as long as he was tied up in
litigation."
Pedersen's suit was settled out of court
but both Pedersens and the Boys Town
administration refused to comment on the
final settlement.
Going home
All of the former employees interviewed
agreed that Boys Town will not take all
boys who wish to go to the home. They
add that the administration picks boys who
will fit its program.
Administrator Coughlin said the typical
boy at Boys Town has had four placements
in homes and programs prior to coming to
carpooD

Boys Town; comes from a one-parent
family and is about three years behind in
school.
"We will not' take murderers, boys
addicted to narcotics, boys who have
committed spontaneous assaults, or boys
who have committed homosexual or
heterosexual rape," Couglin said.
The Boys Town admissions office said
late last year that the home was operating
at "about 100 percent capacity" and added
that boys probably would not be accepted
until after the first of the year.
Boys Town bought him off
. . . he needed it'
Phillips said 222 boys were admitted to
Boys Town from Jan. 1, 1978, through
Dec. 3 1,1978.
However, five former employees
complain that not only are not enough
boys being admitted to Boys Town
considering its financial capabilities, but
too many boys are being dropped from the
program.
90 terminated'
, One 'said 18 high school students were
dropped from August to November. He
said he did not know the figures of
elementary of junior high school drop outs.
Phillips said his records showed that
from Jan. I, 1978, to Nov. 6, 1979,90
youths were terminated by Boys Town
initiating the withdrawal.
"Let me define 'dropped' as youths that
are sent back to their referring agencies be
cause we couldn't fix their problems.
However, there are other types of
departures where parents want their youth
home with them; the youth may reach the
age of majority and want to leave, or the
referring agency may feel it is time for the
youth to try to make it in the original
community," Phillips said.
Paul Laughlin was dropped from the
Boys Town roster in November because, in
his words, he could not follow the rules.
Laughlin said he got along with his family,
teachers, but he felt there was a personality
clash between himself and Boys Town
community director Mark Kirshhoff.
'Didn't like me"
"He didn't really like me," Laughlin
said. "I know he didn't because he told me
once that if I got into trouble again, I was
gone. He said he didn't care "
Said Kirshhoff, "I can't really talk
about why Paul was dropped but I don't
think there was a personality conflict."
A former employee said the drop out
rate reflects Boys. Town's reluctance to
work with problem children.
He said, "If he doesn't fit into the
program, they don't want to take the time
to help him."
