[QUOTE="klmno, post: 489022, member: 3699"] And that is another problem- the local csu's are very cliqueish and there isn't enough communictaion and accountability between the state legislation/juvenile committees delegated by state gov, the state level Department of Juvenile Justice agency, and local csu's- which is why I intend to make sure our state legislation gets 'informed' of my 'concerns', too. LOL! Everyone seems to think they can send a newslaetter to local csu people and that will be enough to bring them up to speed. HA- they only want to keep doing what they've always done and work with people they are already used to working with. Camparatively speaking- think about Wrightslaw being passed on fed level, then states having to be forced to uphold it, but local sds ignoring it until the state actually does crack down on them. The state doesn't like cracking down on their local people but eventually they wake up and realize they have no choice if they want to keep fed funding coming in. ITRW how this plays out: Fed gov: this is fed law and states/local sds need to comply Sate gov: Well, do something to comply with fed requirements Local jurisdiction: that isn't the way we're used to doing things and we really don't want to be dealing with all this; what's the min we can do to get these parents off our back and keep the fed gov from 'interfering' with what we do I'm realizing more and more that this is the way it works in agencies other than sds, too. I know that sounds cynical about people in local csu but let's faace it, they have already admitted they ordered this for difficult child without even being aware of his committing offenses, that this was his 2nd commitment, they hadn't looked into his file AT ALL, and didn't know squat about his personal or family hx. It's a little hard to meet the criteria set by fed funding for this re-entry plan under those circumstances. Now, I would never be able to prove that in court because they will all lie for each other, but it makes it obvious to me that these are incompetent decisions. Other states might keep closer reigns on their local csus- I don't know but would hope so. Some states keep closer reigns on their local dss people than others, so I would assume this would be about the same- it depends on the priorities of the people voted in and the voters in the state, in my humble opinion. It's the governor and legislation in the state that determinies the effectiveness of each state agency, which oversees the local agencies. [/QUOTE]
