HARTFORD — A new audit has found widespread problems at the Department of Children and Families, including improper use of discretionary spending accounts, missing equipment, improper documentation of payroll records, and overpayments to service providers — in one case, for a total of $111,267.
“There are lots of issues that the Department of Children and Families needs to fix,” state Auditor Kevin P. Johnston said. “With an agency with their kind of funds it could be very expensive for the state if the proper monitoring is not done.”

HARTFORD — A new audit has found widespread problems at the Department of Children and Families, including improper use of discretionary spending accounts, missing equipment, improper documentation of payroll records, and overpayments to service providers — in one case, for a total of $111,267.
“There are lots of issues that the Department of Children and Families needs to fix,” state Auditor Kevin P. Johnston said. “With an agency with their kind of funds it could be very expensive for the state if the proper monitoring is not done.”
And here is the Consent Decree.
Federal Consent Decree Between State of Connecticut and Children's Rights 1991
If one notices, no matter what level of federal consent decree a state enters into with Children's Rights, there is no way possible for a state to come into compliance because the entire child welfare system was designed not to function according to the terms of the decree.
It's like this:
CR: If you do not go to parenting classes and therapy you will not get your kid back.
CT: I have to go to work. Those are my work hours. I will loose my job.
CR: If you loose your job then your parental rights will be terminated.
States who have been found victim of Children's Rights actions find it impossible to even come into federal compliance, let alone a consent decree. Children's Rights secures a guaranteed funding stream in attorney fees because they know this fact, well.
Guess who pays the attorney fees. You do.
