GIVEN A SECOND FACILITY BUT THE FIRST ONE IS IN CHAOS

The words below are from a recent story in the newspaper and featured on local radio stations.What boggles the mind is how quickly people forget certain things. Connecticut Juvenile Training School is at the center of controversy. A class action lawsuit by five employees, protests outside the facility, petitions against managemnt practices, strife between clinicians and Youth Service Officers, falsification of time cards by quasi-staff, a female teacher accused of being intimate with a male resident, and complaints about a white employee using racial remarks and intimidation of black workers-not to mention a near escape by a resident only weeks ago. Then a white employee actually hit a resident and kept his job.
Now the hiearchy of DCF actually intends to open a facility for girls and hand running this place to CJTS management. Memo: CJTS is in chaos due to lack of management and petty feuds. CJTS management has not proven they can run a dog kennel let alone another facility-for girls no less. I wonder if at this new facility for girls, management will allow the abuse of overtime, by their friends like they do at CJTS??

"The state’s child welfare agency will open a new state-run facility in January to lock up girls who break the law –- a decision that has generated mixed reactions from those who work most closely with these children.
The facility that the Department of Children and Families will open in Middletown at the campus formerly named Riverview Hospital will house 10 to 12 girls on any given day. The plan is to lock up girls  for 30 days who agency officials say have a history of running away from other treatment programs, but their confinement could last up to six months.
Bill Rosenbeck, the leader of the adjacent boys’ detention facility  -- The Connecticut Juvenile Training School -- is the point person for opening the facility for girls.  He said a locked facility is needed to protect these girls from the problems they get into when they run away."
