Every parent considering one of these should be forced to read elan.school first and, if they still want to send their kid, should be investigated by CPS.
These kids are WOKE!
-Republicans trying to Protect The Children!
This is Illinois, Republicans haven’t had power there since before your grandpa was born. These are democrat run, funded and created kid jails.
All five of the facilities that were closed and 4 of 5 still operating are in mostly or totally red parts of the state. It’s not Democrats working at those facilities and abusing the kids. It is Democrats working to reform or entirely eliminate the system.
Why did they implement the system and actively refuse to eliminate the system if they are supposedly working to do so now? They don’t need local permission, these are state facilities.
The juvenile system was split off from the department of corrections in 2006 as a step to reform the system. The state has made extensive rules that the local operators have failed to follow. Four facilities were closed because they operated in an unacceptable manner. Plenty of other states have similar problems with juvenile detainees. We are actually trying to fix the problem.
