WAS HE EVER IN THE SYSTEM ?

The local news in Hartford, Connecticut reported another story about a 19 - 21 year old male killed by gunfire. From what can be ascertained the youth and family moved from Bridgeport, CT to Hartford in order to keep the youth from negative gang influences. However on September 14, 2017 the youth in the story was targeted by alleged gang members. Shot down in the prime of life.

I have to ask the question... was the youth ever in the system? The Department of Children and Families and Connecticut Juvenile Training School have vast resources in both Bridgeport and Hartford to deal with youth. Did any of those vast resources ever place this youth in their system and give him a chance to survive? At this juncture there are rumors swirling around in the ether that this youth was not deemed any longer profitable for the mill that scoops up families and their children. No one will go on record publicly to verify if this youth received help from child rescue agencies. The way this youth died leaves many of my readers wondering if he was ever in the system.
