The U.S. Department of Justice is uncertain if legal action can be taken regarding the alleged brutal treatment of students at the Chilocco Indian School in Oklahoma. The Bureau of Indian Affairs released a report, but until the Department of Justice makes a determination, no further action can be taken. The report revealed instances of students being handcuffed and injured, but the school superintendent denied any brutality. Plans are being made to seek private operators for the school, with concerns raised about the potential impact on Indian children and families.
