PA: New Philly office must protect young people from harms caused by agencies designed to protect them (Opinion) (Includes video)
Philadelphia Inquirer – September 02, 2021
In June, Philadelphia celebrated a major victory with the establishment of a youth ombudsperson office and the funding to support it. We hope that when this office is formed, it has the authority to provide a local, easily accessible, and independent way to collect and investigate concerns from youth and families about safety and services while they are in foster care group placements and in the justice system in residential placements. The challenge now is to make sure the position is implemented correctly and with true power to help youth.
