Children continue to die in their homes we need to revisit the DFACs and foster care systems and start saving their lives.

Student Advocate from NYC

I am so glad you continue to cover this topic. Can you please address the concerns of citizens who believe the streets will become more dangerous if more youth are returned to their home communities? I think people need to be more informed about the alternative to detention programs and the services they provide to reduce the recidivsm rate.
