I shall even be so bold as to postulate that these youth were kept in this contained environment of Hillside Children's Center for unnecessary extended lengths of time for the purposes of higher billing of Medicaid.
The Center reported gross receipts for 2015 in the amount of $101,339,794, where not one penny is accountable to external audits or taxes.
I truly hope there is an investigation into what the reasons were behind this coop.
Unfortunately in child welfare, everything is a secret.
The perpetrators will be severely punished with chemical constraints in the form of increased psychotropic medications which will be billed to Medicaid at higher rates.
Always remember, there are no civil rights in child welfare.
Juveniles in Finger Lakes youth center riot, attack staff, police say
ROMULUS, N.Y. -- At least three staff members in a juvenile home in the Finger Lakes were injured in a riot Sunday, police said.
Juveniles at the Hillside Children's Center at 4887 State Route 96A in Romulus began rioting and attacking Seneca County Sheriff's Office staff around 9 p.m., police said in a news release.
Several of the juveniles tried to break into another unit on the campus, deputies said. Staff members who attempted to intervene were attacked, including one who was struck in the back of the head with a coffee cup, deputies said.
The 15-year-old responsible for that attack then picked up a shard of the broken cup and used it to attack other staff members, two of whom were injured by the sharp glass, police said.
The 15-year-old was charged with two counts of misdemeanor second-degree menacing. Police said his name would not be released due to his age. He will appear before probation officials to answer the charge.
Upon investigation, deputies determined 17-year-old Edwin I. Irizarry was the ringleader of the riot, they said. He led four or five others to act violently, deputies said.
Irizarry was charged with misdemeanor second-degree riot. He was arraigned in Varick town court and sent back into the sheriff's custody on $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court again on April 29 at 7 p.m.
New York State Police, South Seneca Ambulance and the Varick Fire Department assisted Seneca County sheriff's deputies with the incident.
