When Are We Going To Fix the Children's Juvenile System?

The article publsihed in the New York Times today was really schocking. I wrote on this issue before.  Basically, a new report, written for the Governor, says the juvenile detention system is in shambles.  The children are not getting the help they need.  Worse, they are often subjected to brutal violance.  And, to make matters worse, the children are often sent away from their families to upstate facilities (most of the children are from New York City), which creates a further barrier in attemtping to get them better, which, after all, is the whole point of the system.  Anyway, the system is broken and it is encumbant on the State to fix it and fix it now.
