Julian Robb (Orange County Juvenile Justice Council Chairman) commended local and DJJ leadership on their collaboration on alternatives to complete community service hours. Stan Morris (Mentoring Organization) stated, This is a powerful step you are taking! and that to reach kids, trust has to be a component. Rosalyn Gentry (Executive Director of The Destiny Targeted Case Management Unit and a former attorney representing youth) asked at what point is DJJ going to hold parents accountable, what are we doing to deal with younger kids, and how we are going to provide help to parents. She also mentioned that she is hopeful because we are moving in a positive direction. Page 7
8 Speaker Comments & Questions continued Christine Stillwell (Informed Families) stressed that we must equip families to understand what their kids are doing and the consequences of their actions. She then invited Denise (mom) to describe what happened to her son who became addicted to Spice. Yvette Acosta MacMillan (Regional Council of ACLU) wanted to know what DJJ is doing divert youth from felony convictions, to help youth overcome addictions, and to keep youth out of solitary confinement. She also would like to see higher goals for Civil Citation. Jessica Abel (Juvenile Justice Center) said this is a great first step, especially lowering secure detention and residential commitment and providing community-based alternatives. Major Patty Wells (Sheriff s Office) expressed that the community needs to understand that civil citation works. Barbara Glass (Legal Advocacy Services Attorney) would like to see higher front end goals and is concerned about overrepresentation of disabled youth. She encourages SRO training, multi-disciplinary staffings, and reduced VOPs. Marvin Ferrell (unknown) is concerned about services for youth transitioning out of residential and sealing youth records. Dan Toffoli (AMI Kids) asked us to keep the communication going and provide professional development for our staff. He also encourages us to provide coaching and support to get family buy-in. Dr. Frank Thompson (pastor) wants a specific faith-based plan and feels parents are the key to helping our youth. Page 8
9 Speaker Comments & Questions continued David Utter (Southern Poverty Law Center) is glad to see the Roadmap is based on research and data and stated there are ways to hold youth accountable without putting them in jail and making them worse off. He said that the deeper youth go in our system, the worse their chances for success are. He also expressed a need for law enforcement and community support. Dee Rosado-Chan (PACE Executive Director) would like to see more gender responsive services mentioned in the Roadmap and expressed concer about low risk, high need girls being detained for less serious offenses. Toni Washington-Shinn (My Rules My Reality - Community Advocate for Girls) spoke about her PURPLE program and wanted to know if there is a community resource guide and how to get involved in the State Advisory Group. Rose Washington (Community Champion) was concerned about the disproportionate minority contact in her community and wanted specific data and ways to get more involved. Stan Morris (Mentoring Organization) (again) encouraged community members to go to the detention centers and interact with the kids. Page 9

Your passion shows! Hope you stay with us a long time! Thank you. C7 is implementing a prevention multi-agency staffing team to receive referrals from the school district and foster care group home regarding behavior issues of youth prior to them escalating to delinquency charges. The staffing team assesses the situations, works with the school, parents, youth and community resources to address the individual needs of youth. I don't think there was enough adequate discussion/questions about the parental involvement (parents roles and responsibilities) for their delinquent behaviors. In many homes, parents are absent even though they might live in home. Many of these parents are dealing with their own issues (criminal, substance, mental health) and are not interested in what is going on with their child. Most of the children (and their families) are or have been involved with other systems (DCF, mental health), parents often refuse services or participate minimally, to no effective change. Thank you for offering this forum to share with the local community the future of DJJ. I am sincerely interested in learning more about the plans around transitional services for youth exiting DJJ who cannot return home. I am specifically interested in the crossover population of youth who turns 18 in DJJ facilities/commitment programs who are also involved in the foster care system. There is a tremendous gap in services, employment assistance, and transitional housing opportunities for youth aging out of foster care with DJJ involvement and/or mental health needs. My organization-the Destiny TCM Corp-is poised to assist with helping our youth to be success stories and not statistical stories of failure. rosalyngentry@thesdestinytcmcorp.com I would like to be involved in developing parental involvement/support/accountability programs that increase our youth success. Please get the school system involved. Page 14
15 Speaking for the Orlando Police Department. We have enjoyed a positive working relationship with DJJ over the past several years. In fact, we have partnered with DJJ on several "clean up" projects whereby we have utilized juveniles who owe community service hours to help clean and spruce up Orlando neighborhoods, such as the downtown area and Parramore. The partnerships involved members of local DJJ, Keep Orlando Beautiful, and the Orlando Police Department, and proved to be extremely beneficial for all involved parties. If memory serves me, Barbara McNeally was my contact. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. Deputy Chief Robert C. Pigman, Orlando Police Department, or robert.pigman@cityoforlando.net This forum was very informative.really glad that I attended. So excited to hear you talk about wraparound process. As you may know there are 4 local grant sites in Florida promoting and practicing wraparound (Seminole, Jacksonville, Orange, and Miami) as well as 3 graduated sites and a state-wide initiative. Strong evaluation teams, dedicated teams of parents, youth, and professionals can assure successful implementation of additional wraparound teams allowing grant resources to build capacity of broad array of services in each community. Please strongly consider promoting wraparound. Thank you for this opportunity. These are some of my concerns: 1. Indiscriminate use of shackles on juveniles 2. Too many dog bite injuries seen on non-resident youth (from police dogs) 3. Need 24 hour nurses in detention 4. Many youth are released to DCF but may wait for days to be picked up 5. Too many youth waiting a long time in detention for program placement. 6. Need more nurse-family partnership programs. Thank you. Need to bring the mic to the speaker. Volume was too low on power point presenter. Page 15
