LINCOLN — They called it paper route day.
But as the newly trained employee at the Beatrice State Developmental Center was about to learn, it also was the day for her dark and disturbing initiation.
Two male residents from the state institution found themselves in Riverside Park on a late July afternoon as they delivered newspapers. They were accompanied by two male staff members and the new female employee.
When the group reached the park's bathroom, the male employees took the two residents inside. Then they called for her.
For a moment, she thought they were joking about a woman walking into the men's room. But when one of the workers got behind a resident, she realized something bad was about to happen.
