6 Investigates: Who Failed Rylan & Cameron? (Part 1)
A lawsuit is in the works against the Tulsa Boys’ Home and DHS in response to the deaths of two boys who ran off from the facility.
In March 2020, 14-year-old Cameron Dail was hit and killed on Highway 51. In December 2020, 13-year-old Rylan Harris drowned in the Arkansas River, which prompted an investigation by the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth.
This story series is not meant to undermine the incredible work the staff and volunteers do at the Tulsa Boys’ Home; to date, they have helped more than 14,000 boys in Tulsa. The focus is on policy, procedures, state law, and safety.
