Senator Maziarz calls meetings with NYS OCFS "very disappointing"

nae bother Rhonda awe raa best girl.

You are absolutely correct, let me make it clear, the facility you're talking about is Brookwood, I work there! We all are aware of Carrion's slick tactics- the doctoring of number of restraints, and residents refusing to lockdown or move when directed. I no longer say please to these criminals. Why, because I don't have to, that's left to Administration to appease these criminals. I initially was reluctant to give my name, however, I owe it to the staff that were murdered at the hands of scumbag criminals, who are now pacificied by Carrion and her lackeys. They would rather go after a staff for restraining a youth, under one of the reasons Carrion supposedly authorized us in policy to do. Child abuse allegations are all called in to the child abuse hotline, even if the restraint was a "good one." Tonight was a typical night at Brookwood, 2 seperate wings were responded to for youth failing to secure, it was a melee. I guarantee nothing substancial will be done to these troublemakers, they don't care about "maxing out". The lunacy continues, I can't wait to speak to a state senator, and I will definitely tell them if ANYONE attempts to "shut me down," for speaking out on the obsurd direction all the ocfs facilities are going. We need a impartial/bi-partisan fact-finding panel, to go through all the policies, subpoena all the files with impunity, and demand punishment/termination. Carrion is a lawyer, she's hip to all the legalities, so it won't be easy. Many under her will take the fall, trust me!  

It is very tragic, Amy. Thank you for reading, commenting, and for the recommendation.

Gene Ringwood, thank you again for sharing your thoughts on this matter.

The real issue here is that Governor Patterson is not getting involved and telling Gladys Carrion to go back to helping people she was good at helping.The united way was a great job for her, they were people who did not commit crimes.Gladys has a warped since of reality when it comes to real life and NYC life.The things that happen in NYC are not normal.Just because people get robbed almost every minute in NYC does not mean you should act like that is normal. Just because someone gets killed almost every minute  in NYC does not mean that is normal. A person in any where else in the country would get a big sentence for either one of those crimes but in NYC its nothing. Two "Kids" who murdered another person received life and were released in 5 years since Gladys Carrion became the commisioner. Is that normal in NYC ?It is.Come on David Patterson when is enough a enough. 

Mister X, thank you again for commenting. For the reason that you mention Jennifer Bolender: according to the Niagara Falls Reporter, Mother of Jennifer Bolender Blasts DelMonte's Inaction on Crime Bill [A1628 - Penny's Law], evidently for the reason that DelMonte did not want to go against Assemblyman Sheldon Silver. DelMonte did however later author a law to rename the Pedestrian Overpass where Jennifer was killed to "Jennifer's Crossing".

Then Assemblywoman Catharine Young (now Olean State Senator) and the late State Senator Patricia McGee, helped draft NYS Assembly Bill A1628, known as Penny's Law. Penny's Law will allow juveniles convicted of murder as adults to be sentenced as adults (for it's reason and history, please click on the link Penny's Law).

Juviworker - you're so right about the uniform thing. While the residents were their pants WAY below the waist, red tees tied around their necks, and pretty much their uniforms are worn just about any way possible we better be sharp as a knife to roll around in the floor. Or you're right, here comes the Memo!!  We really need sweats and tees!  You never know if your going home, when you're going home or if you will go home by way of the hospital Emergency Dept.  Has anyone heard Carrion release a statement publicly to Ms. Greco's family?  I see we have a new policy on the two-way radios! GREAT!  We'll all need to carry PDA's to store all the new policies we have to sign for each week!  Turn around doubles wreak havic on the body.  Many of us are missing our medications, and neglect to take meds because we can't even get relieved to use the bathroom.  My lunches (minimum 2 days worth packed) are all divided into finger foods, something I can pick up and hold & walk with or run with.  No water to be drunk cause you never know when you can use the bathroom.  We should have gone Corrections when Commissioner Johnson left!!!! Yes, police have stopped responding to our facility calls as well. And guess what we get for norishment, a soda machine and a chip/cookie machine.  We are forbidden to order out for food.
