But, one Belize City family today reached out to us to say one week was to long. Their 16 year old son has come back with a story of wretched and systematic abuse that's, honestly, hard to believe until you hear them out. We spoke to mother, son, and a neighbor today to hear their allegation of constant beatings at the hand of police:..

"I called him and he said to please come for me because they beat me. I ask what happen and so he was crying over the phone and he said to please come for me because they beat me, they got me in mud and water and if they move the GSU beats them."

Voice of: 16 year old
"They have a long chain and they whop me in the back with it and they stomp me in my belly when I am explaining to them. They don't want to hear anything - they still beat us. I was on the ground because I was in bad pain and as I turn over one of the soldier kick me in the belly and whop me on my foot several times. One of them stomp me in my jaw and burst up my jaw. They had to give me an injection in my jaw to make it numb. Everybody who was in my barrack house got beaten. A soldier took a chain and whop a young man about 4 times at the back of his head and his head was bursts up. He must have gotten stitches in his head. Everybody got beaten - everybody saw their blood."

"Every 5am in the morning, once you can't do 80 pushups they beat you."

"Are you sure you are not misunderstand what is going on? Maybe they are trying to say that maybe they are giving you all a boot camp to try to strengthen you up or to teach you some discipline."

"We were at the station at Raccoon Street, Mr. Hamilton told us that it is a camp where we will learn a trade and that we would be better off in life and when we went there nothing like that happen. All what we did as we got drilled so they beat us. I went there thinking that I would learn a trade from them but I never knew that this is what would happen to me."

Voice of: Georgia, Mother
"My son call me crying and I talk to the man who my son borrowed the phone from and he said the only way my son could go down was if the parents go for them."

Junior Willoughby, father
"They said they were going at the BDF camp to learn something for the future or to defend the country if that be the case, but we are not sending them for them to get beaten up - that is stupidness."

Voice of: Georgia, Mother
"Any parents who are listening to this right now, don't make any police come and say that it's just a little training or a camp or a little swimming - don't believe them because all they do is beat them."

While it is administered by the BDF, Police are in charge of the camp and we spoke to Senior Superintendent Edward Broaster who told us he is certain that the young man's allegations are completely false. He says no GSU personnel have been assigned to the camp, and added that his officers just went there today and he can confirm that there are no abuses. We will keep looking into the story.
