Better Oversight Needed at Juvenile Justice Facilities
The New York State Office of Children and Family Services is not adequately overseeing juvenile justice facilities outside New York City to ensure they meet State regulations for the health and safety of the youth and facility staff that are there, according to an audit released by State Comptroller DiNapoli.
“The Office of Children and Family Services needs to step up its oversight to make sure at-risk youth are getting the appropriate supervision and care, and staff have the required training,” DiNapoli said.
