Failing -- once again -- to protect our children

A state inspector general's report has found that DCF has once again failed the most vulnerable of our society -- young children. Supervisors in DCF offices in Perrine and central Miami pressured their underlings to "close" cases prematurely so they could rank higher on the leader board. That meant case workers didn't even visit some of the children who were reportedly abused. Read Carol Marbin Miller's story to find out the results. It's hard for me to even write about what happened to these kids.
Those supervisors should face criminal charges. Throw the book at them. They're despicably inhumane.

This is disgusting! I cannot believe that the very people that are assigned the job of watching out for the children can take such a cavalier attitude towards child abuse.

They have, apparently, distanced themselves emotionally from these young victims. This is a job and the children are only the stats that they need to keep under control for a good job rating.

These are PEOPLE!!

I have no faith in the DCF - my heart breaks for all the children that will remain unprotected.

Something has to change!
