This organization does not treat the children in their care right. In certain homes Direct Care staff have to come out of pocket and pay so the children can eat, or experience different activities(Direct care staff never recieve money back from company). Underage children that are in some of their group homes are allowed to participate in illegal activities (smoking,stealing, etc) with no corrective actions. Most of the time these activities goes knowingly (by the program managers) unreported. The children bearly get the proper therapy that this organization claim to provide. The psychologist only method to care for these youth is to medicate them, instead of getting to the deeper root of their problems and showing them how cope. The people in the main office are incompetent. They are to concerned with focusing on fundraisers instead of the children needs. The children bearly benefit from the fundraisers that this organizations hold. The majority of the Direct Care employees are miserable and scared to report all of these downfalls for fear of loosing there jobs. Direct care staff stay around not because of the job but because of the youth. DJS and DSS should do a thorough investigation on this organization
