State, strapped for cash, targets lone shelter for at-risk juvenile females… will ship them to lock-up instead.

Story here.

That’s right.  No longer will young at-risk juvenile females be sent to a location where they can receive treatment, compassion, caring, and support…………. they will be shipped to New Hampshire’s prison for kids (part of the Juvenile Justice system).

(clearly, the above is a suitable location to ship a young female who is victim of family related sexual assault or other horrific abuse……)

I think the people in state, county, and local government make their intentions pretty clear when they need to cut funding for helping at-risk youth so they can continue to build multi-million dollar correctional facilities which primarily will be used to keep non-violent offenders behind bars.

Disgusting.
