FORT WORTH (AP) — Several Fort Worth police
supervisors and vice squad officers are being investi
gated in the filming of a teen-age prostitute in a down
town hotel, the police chief said.
“An allegation was made that police officers working
that operation went beyond the scope of their responsi
bility and took some inappropriate photographs and vi
deotapes of the subject,” Fort Worth Police Chief
Thomas Windham, said.
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.

Texas family branches out,
opens home to foster youths
cess to the church to a half horn
BELTON (AP) — A houseful of
three sons is a lot to handle. 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. When they go, they
take one child with them.

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

left at a Guatemalan port and nev#
returned.
A travel agent in Seville, Spaii
