The rulers at Department of Children and Families plus Connecticut Juvenile Training School are under siege by media... lawmakers. In order to get the focus off them DCF Plantations management did something despicable but not unexpected. A Youth Service Officer at CJTS named Dupree was publicly humiliated and fired. Dupree is now the black face of all the problems at CJTS. What makes this so reprehensible is tapes of Dupree restraining a resident were leaked to the media, then political posturing started. The head of DCF thundered proclamations from the mountain top about "cleaning up the facility and making sure residents are safe." Then the CJTS Superintendent held some jive meeting with YSOs to "assure them he is on their side." Most YSOs contacted this blog and said they held their nose doing the CJTS meeting.
Let me be clear.
All of this is going on because for years CJTS has been allowed to get out of control because management did not provide clear direction / purpose. Keystone Cops management allowed every Unit at CJTS to be run by petty warlord supervisors... according to different criteria. Now the Child Advocate -with help by the glorified CJTS whistle blower- released reports condemning YSO restraint techniques and everyone is trying to cover their backs. Hell, even the whistle blower is being quoted in the on line publication CT News Junkie. Oh by the way this whistle blower is trying to get transferred to 3rd shift because co-workers are not happy with all these false revelations... or the sacrifice of Dupree. Well if we read the history of America correctly, it is always better to place blame on the black man. And Dupree is a big.. strong... muscular black man. I wonder if the big black buck image played any part in throwing Dupree under the bus ? Hmmmmm !
