Well, considering the juvenile crime problem DC has, and the revolving door of the juvenile justice system, it probably was a sound policy decision as well. You can’t social work your way out of the juvenile crime issues the city is dealing with.

I agree with this.

Two things can be true. It can be true that Hillary was too soft with juveniles and not the best leader but that Lindsay could have some grudge against her and saw the opportunity to move a weak person out. I heard when Hillary got there, some people left abruptly

Yes, because people who actually work with the kids involved in the juvenile justice system know that not every kid can just be sent home with a hug and promise to do better. These crusaders are not doing the kids any favors by sending them home to environments that have already proven to be detrimental.

Thank you Lindsay or her staff member! We all thank you!

Hilary, it’s been 6 months, not really enough time to fix the effects of letting every kid stay in the community no matter what their history was and what crimes they committed. Find another job, maybe one that just focuses on social work.

Lindsey, correct me if I’m wrong, but crime seems to be going up, not down. I think it’s supposed to be going the opposite direction. It’s like… you and your staff don’t know what you’re doing, or something?

Was she still working there when Hillary became Director? Maybe she knows something the public doesn’t about Hillary. She (Lindsay) seems like a very good leader.

She (Lindsay) seems like she is posting this. 🤔

Because caging black children for 23 hours a day is the best environment for them?

They are not caged 23 hours a day in residential treatment facilities and sending these kids home to parents incapable of meeting their needs and neighborhoods where they will get caught up in the same bullsh!t is not a good environment for them either.

The violent crime uptick in DC is largely driven by teens, so it’s not that surprising Mayor Bowser came for DYRS’s director. The director was a social worker and incapable of understanding that some kids present too much of a risk to be placed in the community.

Yes, more police and jail , rehabilitation is not working

I’m one of the posters pointing out the issues with the way DYRS was run with a Hilary. I am familiar with both women because I worked in the juvenile justice system for years, it is not even a close call for whose policies are better equipped to balance rehabilitation with public safety.

When the animals are rabid to take them out of the public and put them somewhere they can't harm other people

Well when kids are fighting in the facility they have to implement a 1 for 1 policy. I’m not swayed by restrictions that are the direct results of the behavior of the kids while in the facility. The population at YSC is not kids committing minor theft or joyriding in a stolen car, these are kids who are violent and/or uncontrolled by their parents, play me the world’s smallest violin.
