[QUOTE="klmno, post: 499699, member: 3699"] Thx, S & Crazy. Crazy- I did find where a state IG was approved/passed into lasw in the 2011 session of the GA- of course, it still hasn't come to fruitation yet. The problem with each agency having it's own IG is that they are being paid by the agency and working with others in the same agency they are there to investigate for problems. The state gov is focused more on CYA than accountability. A lot has come out just in the past 5 years on Department of Juvenile Justice- between the sex abuse, crooked staff, the MH, the major cost issues, and now these articles in the past year....they will have to clean house at some point. I know it will be after my difficult child ages out but still... And another thing I noticed- people in the Youth Services Commission (who are there to direct funding for at risk youth and line up providers-- who are private businesses that specialize in these behavior type 'counseling') sure seem to get jobs with Department of Juvenile Justice often. When I see that and things like PO committing to this reentry program before even reading difficult child's file, it sure makes me wonder how deep this goes- especially after hearing about that judge in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago. I don't think our judges are crooked here- but I think this state is very business oriented and job oriented and they care a whole lot more about that than our at-risk youth or delinquent juveniles. I;m taking notes and will write the letter to DOJ and ACLU this weekend- just to give me more time to KISS and still point out what I think should be investigated. Maybe it will help my grandchild/difficult child's child someday. LOL! [/QUOTE]
