I am blown away by what i read! These evaluation centers are just that. An evalutation center. A place to evaluate children, psychologically, phsyically, mentally...how dare our centers abuse them? How can this continue to happen. Its there stated plain as day, from an employee that obvioulsy witnesses it! Do we turn a blind eye? If these children are being abused, how can that be rehibilitating? If their complaints are going unheard, who do they turn to next? Who do they talk to? So instead they probably keep quiet in fear of something else happening to them. This is unacceptable. I can only pray that someone is reading these comments and will open the eyes of the ones who can change all of this. I hope that the previous commenter has opened some eyes, and that this directors actions are now open and public for all to see, especially by the his superior. I pray for all these kids, pray that they do not harden as a result of abuse...KARMA. I will not give up, not now after reading the previous comment...thanks to you commentor, you have put some truth behind my own story, and for that i thank you! Now lets see if you can stand up for the abuse you see on a daily basis, even it costs you your job, it sure will be a gratifying experience, knowing you have saved these children, and yourself. It must be a heavy load to carry on your shoulders on a daily basis...im sorry that this is happening to sooo many children. Some who may not even speak up, out of fear. We have to stand up for our kids, our future. If we do not, who will? We have to be their voices, who else is going to do it? Obviously not the DJJ System. Alternative programs here have been wiped out due to no funding...instead just throw them in these evaluation/detention centers to get mixed up in who knows what anymore! More kids in these places, more money for DJJ. SAVE OUR CHILDREN, SAVE OUR FUTURE! To you commentor, please contact me anytime...ill be your voice, im not scared to stand up for our children! The worst that could happen is that my son will be effected...they all know me and my son, and they already have it out for him after all ive done to speak out against them...and so life goes on...a story to be remebered! 10/05/09 unknown:The parent complaint about the south carolina dept of juvenile center is 100% true. I am an employee there at one of the evaluation centers and many complaints go unanswered!!!!!! There are several assaults, lynchings and gang violence. Parents have called to speak with the director of residential services and he doesnt respond to them nor does he follow up on compliants. he is in charge of all evaluation centers and detention center. This guy tries to cover up things. It is really unsafe here children are constanly beaten up by staff and other kids. some kids have been beaten jumped on and beaten serverly by staff and other kids. He is always in his office or flirting with female staff members. It is rumored that he is sleeping with people he supervises a director at an evaluation center, a female assistant director at the detention center and several others employed here!!!!!! My co workers at the detention say kids wear other kids underwear, shoes and even share hygine items. all this has been brought to his attention and he has done nothing about it. He is always buying high dollar items like flat screen tv's when not needed, he bought expensive furniture for his office and the state claims they dont have money. This man has administrative intake staff who he is rumored sleeping with also leaving work early and not turning in leave forms. She is granted leave and doesnt supposed to have leave, if the forms were turned in and also sick relative leave when it said she isn't even married. Sometimes i wish i didn't work here. this area needs a new leader. 07/12/09 Delia Sundar:Hello, I would like to introduce youthtoday.org to SecretBuilders (www.SecretBuilders.com), a virtual world for children that has seen incredible growth in users since its December 2008 launch.

How can I become involved in this shop? Would I be able to take a wood course in this shop. Please let me know. Yours truly, Angelica02/05/09 Smokers Edge:Attention Smoking Cessation/Tobacco Prevention Re: Smokers Edge There is no question more people are anxious to quit smoking as a result of anti-smoking regulations and by-law’s in effect. Many smokers who once thought about quitting are getting serious this time. With the price of cigarettes, the difficulty finding a place to smoke, and with non-smokers demanding their right to cleaner air, smokers need help like never before to quit or reduce their nicotine dependency. Smokers Edge is a safe over the counter product that helps alleviate the craving that comes with giving up cigarettes. Smokers Edge is a cigarette-like alternative. But you don't light it. It contains no nicotine or tar. When used, Smokers Edge imitates the feeling of inhalation and that addictive hand-to-mouth motion that smokers crave. But Smokers Edge isn't harmful to the ex-smoker or to those nearby. And Smokers Edge contains only natural herbs and essential oils. It also comes in two flavors: citrus and mint that leave your breath totally refreshed. Smokers Edge saves the consumer money - one package can last as long as an entire carton of cigarettes. Essentially 3 markets have been identified. First, there are those people who are looking for a safe alternative to reduce their smoking habit for personal health reasons as well as for concern for those around them. Secondly, we have customers use Smokers Edge in conjunction with other stop smoking aids such as Zyban, nicotine patches, nicotine gum, acupuncture, hypnotism and cessation programs. The third market is among those confirmed smokers who have found that Smokers Edge helps them in the ever shrinking world of places where they can enjoy there cigarette smoking. We believe that this would be valuable information as so many people are still unaware of Smokers Edge. Please feel at ease to contact us for further information call us toll free at 1-888-762-8887.

I’m writing a book about global youth viewpoints and would like to include youth in Youth Today. I’m collecting responses from young people around the world age 19 and under. I'll compare by age, gender, and location. See myspace.com/globalyouthviewpoints for the questions and photos of schools and students I’ve visited on three continents. (I’ve written other peer-based books for youth, including The Teen Trip: The Complete Resource Guide and How to Survive Your Parents’ Divorce: Kids’ Advice to Kids.) Please forward to kids and their teachers and organizations. Thanks, Gayle Kimball, Ph.D. gkimball@csuchico.edu 1.
