As a parent who child has been here 6 times I may be bias. There are some positives but some negatives. I still dont understand the restraint process, as a parent child protective services told me I was not allowed to restrain my child nor her step father, who was trained properly. Then the foster families aren't allowed to restrain. But they go to these group homes and staff can do what they please. 45 days is not long enough to make major changes, then they get sent across the parking lot to wood street residential. That place is crawling with addicts, alcoholics, thrives and prostitutes. How can a youth who wants to do better make the change when they are surrounded by others doing those things??? Wood Street programs are not working!!! The kids are getting out and repeating the same things.
Saftey rails are great. I myself and scared to walk accross that too! But I have a son who wants to walk it and well I am it to take him. I am pleased to know I and he can't fall off accidently!
