Police reports indicate the sixteen-year-old girl was videotaped and photographed by undercover officers who told her they were giving a bachelor party. The teenager had placed a classified ad saying that she was willing to do anything for one thousand dollars. “It doesn’t look good,” Windham told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram when asked what the internal affairs in vestigation had turned up so far. “At this point it’s only a small number of officers and several supervisors involved,” Windham added. The chief declined to specify how many officers were involved. The report filed after the teen-ager was arrested and identified two sergeants and four officers. The inquiry could be wrapped up within a week, sheriffs spokesman Doug Clarke told the Associated Press, adding that it could be longer. Shortly before the teen-ager was arrested July 27, she stripped, danced around the hotel room and fondled herself, the report said. Internal affairs officers were seen carrying several boxes of videotapes, documents and other materials from the vice squad office the day after the undercover investigation, the Star-Telegram reported. Police supervisors removed and replaced the locks on lockers belonging to vice officers later that day, the newspaper reported. The teen-ager was paroled from a Texas Youth Commission facility after being charged with juvenile delinquency-prostitution, police said. Police records also show that Martin Vinson, 21, who showed up at the hotel with the teen-ager and reportedly negotiated a deal for the officers to have sex with her. 1986, would not confirm or d® r Fielder’s claim Wednesday. “1 don’t care to comment on Lewis said when contacted by tel(. phone at his home in nearby Hm hie.

How about adopting eight more sons on top of that? Welcome to the South family of Belton. Larry and Pam South had three sons of their own before branching out and opening their home to foster children. Many of their foster children — eight, to be exact — became the Souths’ chil dren. “Our goal is to be an emergency shelter as foster parents,” Pam said, which means they would briefly take in children from dangerous situa tions at any hour of the day or night. But foster children who come to the South house have a tendency to stay. All of the Souths’ adopted chil dren were classified as “special needs” children with the adoption agencies, Pam said. One child is emotionally disturbed, one is men tally retarded, three have a learning disability called attention deficit dis order, one has cerebral palsy and one has epilepsy. Four of the chil dren, who are bi-racial, are biologi cal brothers, Pam said. “When we were married, we wanted a large family,” Larry said. After having three children, the Souths decided that there were “lots of kids in the world that need homes.” So they began serving as foster parents and adopting. “When you get married and think about having a large family, you don’t think about how it will be,” Larry said. “We talked about it, and now we’re gradually getting there. I didn’t think there’d be as much ac- pecially with the older and hard-to- place children.” “Children need to have a place to go, a permanent family,” Larry added. Pam said there are lots of children available for adoption in this county but most are special needs children. The state pays a subsidy to the adoptive parents of special needs children for their therapy, medica tion and other special expenses, Pam said, so they usually don’t have any problems making ends meet. Two sons, Phil, 20, and Ryan, 19, are at Texas A&M University. Paul, 17, will be a senior at Belton High School this fall, and hopes to attend college. That will leave eight. And 25-year-old Scott, who is mentally retarded, may eventually live in a trailer in back of their home, which is on an acre of land outside of Bel- Larry says it is a problem to find silence at home, except in the middle of the night. Larry, who works for the Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Belton and Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir, usually gets 10 minutes to himself when he first gets home from work before being bombarded with “six or eight kids who want to tell me something or show me some thing or play ball,” he said. To get away from it all, the Souths square dance.

Pam says she gets names mixed up sometimes, like any mother will, but her problems are compounded. There are Bobby, 5; Robert, 3; and Albert, 6. Then, there are James, 11; Charles, 11; and Charles James, 7. But Bobby’s birth certificate lists his name as Bobby and not Robert, and Charles James is now known as CJ. “We’re not confused, but the Scott and White health plan is,” Larry said.

Both Pam’s and Larry’s parents “think we’re absolutely crazy,” Pam said. “My mother told me she thought I was the last person in the world who would have this many children.” Larry said his parents told him they love him. But both sets of par ents say they love to see them come, and they love to see them go, Pam said. “Why we’re doing this is because we’ve seen the need,” Pam said. “Es- Pam admits things can get a little crazy around the house. The day be gins between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. and doesn’t end until around mid night* “Before coffee or anything else, the laundry goes in,” said Pam, who does laundry “all day, every day.” Everyone helps out in the morn ing. One packs lunches, another makes breakfast, another cleans the bathroom, and so forth. The chores change weekly, Larry said. Every night, Pam lays clothes out for the younger children for the next day. The whole family eats dinner to gether at the same table. AUSTIN (AP) — A plan to seize the cruise ship Galaxy and recover fares for passengers who apparently got mutiny instead of luxury has been halted by the Texas Attorney General’s office. Hundreds of passengers com plained earlier this year that they paid more than $2 million for a Cen tral American cruise and found mu tiny and miserable conditions aboard the ship. In midcruise, the passengers were forced to leave the Galaxy after the captain informed them he could no longer guarantee their safety be cause there was no food or water, they said. About 50 of the Galaxy’s crew members, described by the agent’s brochure as a “friendly, attentive crew . . . always ready to cater to your every need,” apparently be came enraged over working condi tions and pay arrangements. Some of the crew members were arrested at a port in Costa Rica after a knife fight. Assistant Attorney General Raul Noriega said he received nearly 800 complaints from passengers and would-be pasengers from across the United States, asking for $2.2 mil lion in ref unds from Golden Cruist tours Inc. of San Antonio, ikf agency that booked the tours ands no longer in business. L.ast month, the state received) judgment against the company and its owners, hut Noriega said Tuesdi' there are millions of dollars in lien: against the ship that would ktff Texas from receiving anything from its possible auction. The owners of the ship neverap peared in court to dispute thealleg! tions. “It’s basically a lost cause,” NV riega said. “I’m really upset thl these people walked out of thesiait of Texas with all of this money. “It kind of sticks in my throat,bi there’s nothing I can do about it.” Some passengers said Fernand Inigo, a part-owner of Golden Cm setours and the ship, wasaboardlkf ship during the ill-fated cruise,b( left at a Guatemalan port and nev# returned.
