December 2006

• 12/31/06 Charlie Crist: ...DJJ was dirty before the "Knishe" arrived. During his tenure with the Department he was basically a clownish,pompous joke. Jeb learned early on that Schembri needed a handler (Caballero).While he was a flop as a leader at DJJ; the corruption and abuse within the Deapartment can not be blamed on the "Knishe". Some see Chervanik as an enabler of poor performing contractors, cover-ups and fraud. Pifer has allowed the JDCs to deteriorate to deplorable levels of professional standards. Poor leadership has resulted in injury and death. An indepth review of DJJ at all levels is necesssary... ~Tax Payer

• 12/31/06 Other: Now get rid of Chervanik, Floyd, they bear management responsiblity for the youth deaths at Bay County Boot Camp and Cypress Creek. They also bear managmenent responsibility for the abuse at Greenville Hills. They have failed to protect the youth in the custody of DJJ. Chervanik and Floyd must be terminated for their failure. ~Anonymous

• 12/31/06 Charlie Crist: Governor Christ, Please do not allow the lobbyists that represent the major DJJ contractors to influence your decision of a new Secretary. The Department has been a mechanism of political and profit-making colusion for too long. Bring in honest professionals. ~Anonymous

• 12/31/06 Orange JDC: The recent postings from the person at Orange totally missed the point about why this site is such a joke. Perhaps this person dosen't mind working with adulterous, fornicating, immoral trash but some of us do believe character counts for something. We are charged to oversee and protect youth not screw around like street bi**hs and b-tt-sniffing mutts. The main problems are is the lack of decent leadership, lies and false reporting and favoritism and laziness not the whoreing but it all seems to go together. Maybe things will change if a new Secretary fires Pifer, Chinault and Williams. Happy New Year! ~Looking for Change at ORJJDC

• 12/31/06 Other DJJ facility: Looks like not only is the Knishe gone and Bush, but also those Falkenburg Academy sluts. Good job Falkenburg and Camelot Community Care. A fresh start is the best for everyone.... ~Satisfied Parent

• 12/31/06 Other: Here is a copy of Schembri's lame resignation letter: The man that was boasting that "HE IS HERE TO STAY" is now seeing the door kick him out "...This is to advise you that I have resigned from this Department effective January 2, 2007. I would like to take this time to thank all of you for the great work you have done over the past 2 1/2 years under my command. The changes have been exciting and we have accomplished much in reducing juvenile crime. The reorganization of this department has made it more effective and efficient and we should all be proud of our hard work..." ~Anonymous

• 12/31/06 Other: TO 12-28 POSTING SIGNED I LOVE WORKING HERE - I hope that we find out who you are. If you love Schembri and what he has done, then it is clear that you are as corrupt. How much did Schembri pay you to post that message? Pack your bags and go with him since you love him so much. Your message shows your ignorance. GOODBYE STUPID ~Anonymous

• 12/30/06 DJJ Policy: DJJ, during the Bush years, has been dominated by lobbyist influnce , corporate interests and political favoritism. The lack of professionalism and integrity in leadership positions at both the state and regional level has resulted in an inefficient and dishonest organization. Fraud,abuse,mold/maggot contamination and ultimetly death has been the result of incompetent and corrupt leadership. Nothing short of a major turn-over of tainted Department officials will correct the current corruption at DJJ. ~Tax Payer

• 12/30/06 Leon JDC: ...staff, you do not have to be afraid any more. The Secretary of DJJ is now leaving. Your freedom of speech has been restored. Speak out... Tell the truth... The threats, setup, conspiracy of events that cause employees their jobs. Improper training... How would anyone know? If you want changes, tell it.This Message Bulletin board is a great tool to make or get your viewpoint across... Old timers, don't let these corrupted people burn you out and tell you to go home to your rocking chair. Remember you make it for them to get where they are. ~"I know the real truth"

• 12/30/06 Charlie Crist: We would do well to hold off on too much optimism based solely on the departure of Schembri. Remember Chervanik,Pifer,Lorenzo and all the other self-serving bureaucrats that remain (for now). I will await the appointment of the new Secretary before I allow myself to celebrate a new hope for DJJ. Governor Christ has yet to demonstrate his strategy for DJJ. He will,no doubt, be get much "advice" from the lobbyists that represent the DJJ contracted providers and other insiders. An appointment of Gus Barreiros will indicate a "new day for DJJ" and a new style in the Governor's office. Then we can feel a bit of optomism. ~Parent too

• 12/30/06 DJJ Policy: Schembri's departure alone won't correct the corruption at DJJ. Governor Christ, Flush it again!! ~Anonymous

• 12/30/06 Charlie Crist: DJJ is a department built on lie upon lie. Smoke and mirrors,softball QA evaluations,In-house IG investigations,cooked books, sloppy fiscal management, canned research data are all standard operating procedures. If Governor Christ and the new Secretary are serious about reform at DJJ they will have to dig to find the hidden truths. Those that have perpetuated the lies and concealment must go. ~Tax Payer

• 12/30/06 Other: Schembri should have to answer for his lies and crimes. I hope the media will watch his future actions for envolvement with state government and the corporate interests he has helped to enrich at state expense. He leaves this job like he left his last as a crook. This time there is blood on his hands. ~Parent

• 12/30/06 Other: Is it a coincidence that the "Knishe" and Saddam bit the dust at the beginning of the new year? Happy New Year!!! ~DJJ

• 12/30/06 Charlie Crist: The message about how "Training, Morale and Pride in the whole Deparment" had "improved" during the period the Department was led by the con-man Schembri was an obvious plant from the DJJ establishment. I noted that the message was written prior to Schmbri's resignation announcement... Gov. Christ may appoint an honest, competent, and caring Secretary. Then perhaps truth will emerge from the years of deception( the Bankhead and Schembri years). The "key Staff"" at DJJ have reason to be nervous. Gov. Christ, we look to you. Please do the right thing! ~Insider

• 12/30/06 Orange JDC: Why is it that ms. cant seem to mind her own business... I think that no good deed goes un recognized.have patience because it is it's own reward. I honestly think that this certain person is looking for love and acceptance from her co-workers . Please stop posting these nasty comments about the very people with whom you work with or for... its just a matter of time before you fully understand the importance of the old folk sayin "what goes around comes around" be safe and stay off the website posting your angry messages. ~CANT HEAR ANYMORE

• 12/30/06 Orange JDC: It is so clear that most of you have nothing better to do other than gossip... if you (and you know who you are )had a life and family you wouldnt have time to educate the rest of us on who's doing who. If these people can find love and it just so happens to be with a co- worker who cares as long as it doesn't brings confusion to the work place so what( but it is also better if they worked different departments)... Why do you continue to work there if you are not happy with the people who run the facility... for the rest of you anonymous writers; if you dont have something good to say dont say nothing at all. ~FELLOW CO-WORKER

• 12/30/06 Charlie Crist: ...St. Pete paper had an interesting special report today on the "costs" of Jeb's "out-sourcing" of state fucntions and tasks. It appears that the outcomes were mixed. There was some efficiency and savings gained but apparently at the cost of corruption, graft and scandal (DOC,DCF,DJJ)... the public should rightfully expect honest, accurate and competent oversight... Through incompetence or dishonesty (often both)the DJJ officials charged with protecting public interests have let us down. Check it out! Clean house at DJJ! Schembri was just the front man... ~Tax Payer

• 12/30/06 Other: DJJ Genius of the week recognition goes to Mr. Rodney Baynard for his demonstration of the manly art of securing a youth when he broke the arm an incarcerated Kid at Greenville Hills. Dishonorable mention recognition goes to Jeb Bush for allowing "the Knishe" to resign. He should have been fired and charged as an accessory in the death of Martin Lee and the multiple incidents of fraud, abuse and cover-ups. ~Awards Committee

• 12/30/06 Other: To "Love Working Here", You must be either one of the do-nothing lifer parasites,one of the poor-performing profit seekers or Schembi's mom. Check his record; he was a dirty crook back in NY before Jeb hired him. He was a pompous ass as Secretary. He is at least partially responsible for the corruption, contamination, abuse, cover-ups and death that permeates DJJ. Hopefully Chervanik, Pifer, Lorenzo and others will follow shortly! The decent people at DJJ know the truth. Guess you know what category that puts you in. ~Looking for a Better Day at DJJ

• 12/29/06 Charlie Crist: Now that Schembri's resigned, Mr. Governor, take a look at the corruption and bribery he covered up and find somebody who will clean house. Just follow the contracting and ask yourself why contractors who perform poorly keep getting contracts. Ever consider having past performance reviews count in rating their proposals? Novel idea that just may work. ~Anonymous

• 12/29/06 Other: Anthony Schembri sent an e-mail to all DJJ today saying he was resigning effective 1/2/07. Hallelujah. ~Anonymous

• 12/29/06 Other: Schembri resigned today!!!! ~Anonymous

• 12/29/06 Other: Schembri hits the dust. He announced his resignation today . He is GONE effective January 2. ~Anonymous

• 12/29/06 DJJ Policy: I know exactly how the IG's office handles investigations, as they did one when Christopher's arm was broken. They neglected to do a thorough background check on the DJJ Staff member Rodney Baynard. I had to do one myself, and found that he already had a record of aggravated battery, and attaching a license plate to the wrong vehicle. That goes to show that they do not do their jobs, and that things are always covered up, until someone speaks up about it. I don't think that they can be trusted to do an honest investigation. ~Dawn Chase DawnChs@aol.com 850-983-6777

• 12/28/06 Charlie Crist: Secretary Schembri continues to be an Outstanding Leader for our agency! The Department has made great strides during his tenure in Training, Moral, and Pride in the entire agency! Our department had to improve drastically in the pride and professionalism of our employees. Our agency has been heading in the right direction and under Secretary Schembri's leadership we will continue to improve in these and many other areas! Some people just don't understand what these young people need and what our officers need to run a facility... ~I Love Working Here

• 12/27/06 Other DJJ facility: Logs,records, inventories, rosters at all or most of the contracted facilities and a lot of the state operated facilities are "doctured up",edited, and modified to conceal mistakes, infractions or violations. The DJJ monitors and corporate officials are often aware of the cover-up. Staff know that certain info is not included on incident reports. This is a common,pervasive occurrance. Those who deny it are liars. Investigate (anonymous interviews with staff/youth) any contracted site. You'll see I'm right. ~Floor Staff

• 12/27/06 Other: Governor Bush, Take your NYC monkey when you leave town. ~Parent

• 12/27/06 DJJ Policy: To "Good Grief", I had to check it out to believe it. You were right. DJJ is using money from a federal grant to purchase "artificial intelligence" from a university up North. I agree with you; if DJJ had fewer bullsh-t artists and more competent and dedicated professionals they wouldn't need to buy "artificial intelligence".The current "key staff" could definetly use a double douse of store-bought "intelligence". They better send a truck load to Miami-Dade and Orange JDC. ~Believe it or Not

• 12/27/06 DJJ Policy: You can believe that most of the workers at DJJ are anxious for change. We are tired of the lazy,self-serving leadership and all the politics. Don't believe anything from the state office or the regional offices (mostly lies). The whole department is set up for the benefit of a few politicians, DJJ administration and their friends. ~Seen it All

• 12/27/06 Gus Barreiro: This is to the "Clueless and Anonymous writers" You are so quick to judge the parents for their faults without knowing what may have occurred or why they felt that being in our department could teach their children to never return... Look at your behavior and the way you write on this board! You were selected and took an oath to represent the department not to misrepresent what this department stands for. If you hate these youths, the parents and the leaders and your co-workers, then look for another job. Oh that's right, you can't get another job because you lack the ethics that goes with your position... ~Watching your every move

• 12/26/06 Other: Good Grief... Schembri has been bragging about the federal grant that the DJJ staff has recently acquired. I guess that's good news if the any of the funds make it through the burearcracy in a manner that may be productive to the public or the youth (hopefully no more expensive toys for the Knishe,or legal fees to prevent public disclosure of DJJ corruption). The "best" part of the story is the plan to purchase "artificial intelligence" in order to match up DJJ "interventions" with the needs of "youth". If they would stop hiring rejects,felons and do-nothings,there would be no need for artificial intelligence... ~Anonymous

• 12/26/06 DJJ Policy: Questions: DJJ/QA evaluators admittedly make extensive use of "file reviews" and record checks in order to ascertain if proper actions are taking place according to law and policy. If the records and documents have been routinely falsified and "doctored up" ;how can an accurate evaluation be generated? The abuse,injuries,contamination and deaths that have occurred in DJJ facilities state-wide have often occurred in sites with "good" QA scores. The practice of lying on compliance documents is wide-spread. The primary role of QA and of IG is to provide cover for an incompetent and dishonest DJJ organization. ~Tax Payer

• 12/25/06 DJJ Policy: To the DJJ Wonk that recently asked us "clueless parents" "why do you think that you know what's best for DJJ?",... Well Wonkster, Do the names of Omar ,Danny, Shawn, or Martin strike a familiar note? What about Steve Meredith? Do you remember the mold contamination at Polk City? The abuse at Greenville Hills? The maggots at Thompson? The escapes everywhere? The thefts at the JDCs? Do you remember the lies and cover-ups at Palm Beach? Miami-Dade? Cypress Creek? What about the over-staffed,over-paid and under-worked DJJ administration? Come on now Wonk...you get a clue! Happy New Year. ~Get a Clue

• 12/25/06 Gus Barreiro: I was unsure if Gus Barreiro was the best man for the position of Secretary at DJJ until I observed how much the current DJJ corrupt officials seem to fear him. The recent posting from the DJJ employee that (again} slurred the "clueless" parents that"can't run their own families" is indicative of the attitude that has resulted in corruption,abuse and death at DJJ... It would be wonderful if state-paid youth workers were empathetic,concerned and dedicated to the welfare of the public... Count this parent for Barreiro. ~Not Clueless Parent

• 12/24/06 Charlie Crist: all i want for christmas is a good leader. not gus. we dont need a politician, or a clueless parent to dictate how djj should be run. you folks cant even run your own families how do you think you know whats best for djj? ~Anonymous

• 12/24/06 Orange JDC: ...Everyone at Osceola know that John palys his cards and tries to show off as his staff is the only staff following all the paperwork procedures - and still spending minimum time with the youth at risk. We see them spinding less than sometimes 3 minutes doing the interview... They use cheap labor: INTERNS... that is why they can bid low... their services are poor because of the level of interns, look at Rena that is now at Orange: she doesn't want to deal with kids when there is blood and other "body fluids" aroundn... she is affraid of the kids... the other interns that John brings here are the same.... ~Osceola staff

• 12/23/06 DJJ Policy: So long as watch logs,incident reports... etc. are falsified , modified or edited to conceal infractions,no kid will be safe in a DJJ facility. Recent reports to this board referenced false reporting at Orange JDC and Riverside. In the past such reports have come from Miami-Dade,Cypress Creek,Bay County Boot Camp,Polk City,Palm Beach and more. Falsification of DJJ compliance/security documents should result in severe disciplinary action... Proper oversight and documentation may well prevent the continuation DJJ deaths and cover-ups borne of negligence and deceit. ~Tax Payer

• 12/23/06 Charlie Crist: To Governor Christ, There can be no question that the deaths of Omar,Martin,Shawn and Danny( probably the Mystery/Securicor death at Cypress Creek) were at the very least partially caused by the failure of DJJ officials to provide a safe,orderly,properly managed environment. Why have those (DJJ "key staff") that had responsibity for these areas been allowed to escape consequences for the unnecessary tradgedies? The cover-ups and concealment of blame were as despicable and the crimes themselves. Gulity parties still collect fat state checks and fail to provide oversight. ~Enough is Enough

• 12/23/06 Escambia JDC: Thanks to the "Anonymous Truth Warrior" from Escambia for reporting additional violations of JDC policy at your site. Let's see if Pifer takes action this time. Don't hold your breath. Remain vigilant and speak out for truth and justice. ~Sic Semper Vigilantis

• 12/22/06 Other DJJ facility: The failure of Chervanik,Floyd and other DJJ adminisitrators to take proper and timely action prior to the death of Martin Lee Anderson would appear to be culpable negligence. Had they acted upon the earlier complaints and reports from Bay County Boot Camp perhaps the tragedy could have been prevented. The same lack of action likely preciptated the abuse and injuries at Greenville Hills. Chervanik should be on trial. ~If not Justice at Least Truth

• 12/22/06 Gus Barreiro: Any new Secretary(including Gus Barreiro) that dosen't immediately dump the current DJJ state-level insiders will be doomed to failure. No Department with the likes of Chervanik,Pifer,Lorenzo and Casey in top positions can be anything but a scam or a joke. Many in Florida are tired of these parasites feeding off the state while DJJ remains corrupt. ~Voter

• 12/22/06 Gus Barreiro: Charles Chwevanik has a remarkable "Houdini-like" ability to escape blame and responsibility for the multiple incidents in his area of responsibility (Residential) of abuse,mold contamination, and even brutal violent death of a youth in custody. Chervanik has been able to continue to hold a prominent, highly paid position in spite of repeated scancals. Now that is definetely DJJ genius. Chervanik has also earned the affection of poor performing DJJ contracted providers. The profiteers have come to depend on the support of "Good Time Charley" whenever there is a question of poor conditions or contract violations. ~Anonymous

• 12/21/06 Other: For those of us blessed to be able to hold our children close during the festive and spiritual CHRIST-mas season it is appropriate that we be thankful for the miracle of their lives. It is appropriate ,also, for us to remember the young ones that died in brutality and agony while is the custody of OUR state. I will be thinking of Omar and Danny and Shawn and Martin this holiday season and of the families that can not hold them close this Christmas. Regardless of court actions or offenses, these kids were loved and valued and they will be terrlibly missed by their families during the holiday season. Peace to the Families ~A Father

• 12/21/06 Charlie Crist: ...Just because DJJ was somehow spared the public exposure that DOC, DCF the Hillsborough Authority and other state entities encountered should not incicate that the MANY hidden incidents of fraud,theft,abuse, contamination and corruption... As a new Governor you would be wise to separate your administration from all of the top officials at DJJ while it can be cleanly accomplished without fanfare. Any aggressive journalist could find conections that would open up embarrassing and possibly criminal conduct of DJJ administration. Charlie, cut these corrupt bureaucrats loose... ~Tax Payer

• 12/21/06 Other: Pifer, Take up the challenge. Go to Miami-Dade and personally take charge until the situation there is cleaned-up. Nail the thieves the stole the money put a stop to the ghetto hustlin,jive rappin,unprofessional bu-lsh-t. If you can't bring an aire of decency to even one JDC site, how can you claim to be the man in charge of Detention Services? To maintain any respect you must either take up the challenge or resign. Conditions in many of the JDCs are disgraceful... Miami-Dade may well be the worst... ~Anonymous

• 12/21/06 DJJ Policy: Since Eleese Davis was so "successful" in bringing Miami-Dade to the current sandard of "quaility",perhaps she should accompany Pifer in his "challenge" to resolve the unresolved issue of crimes against youth in custody at Miami-Dade (thefts,etc). Ms. Davis' first-hand experience might be an asset to Pifer if he accepts the challenge to personally confront the problems at Dade. After reading some of the incredibly vicious and ignorant postings from Dade they may well be afraid to enter that pit. It's easier to let Lorenzo spin the issue and hope it goes away. ~Anonymous

• 12/21/06 Escambia JDC: The leadership at Escambia is 0 to none,the ASO,Lee has different policies and prodecures for certain staffs.on the 11/26/06,there was an emergency situation,and she was telephone and she never called,no contac for her the entire day.on 8/11/06,8/20/06, on the midnight shift,no female staff,male staff worked in the female mod,why didn't she come and work the female mod,i think taht is what she suppose to do.she gave a supervisor permission to release a male youth,the youth was not supposed to be released,i would call this a neglect release,aren't there suppose to consequences and actions for her as well as other staff.forward this to Mr. Pifer. ~Anonymous

• 12/21/06 Charlie Crist: Ever wonder why Camelot Community Care and Intervention Services have become new DJJ darlings in spite of abysmal performance records? Check out Providence Service Corporation that offers "management" services to both in Florida. Follow the money and you'll learn more about the good old boy system being alive and well in DJJ. ~Anonymous

• 12/21/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Surly no seriously expects Pifer to address the theft at Dade or any of the problems at Orange. He will keep himself removed from any controversy so that he can shift blame when scandals are exposed. Fact is, people on his staff and under his administration stole money from the youth for years and he did nothing. Fact is, he is aware of the immoral,unprofessional activities that occur in the JDCs and chooses not to address the problem. "Pifer the Cypher" is an accurate title for this high-paid non-performer. He will never accept your challenge to address the problems at Dade in person ,head-on. Hehasn't got the guts. They should send Meredith to do the job. ~Anonymous

• 12/21/06 Other: Diana, Perhaps the deaths of the boys was ,indeed, the result of poor management, poor training, incompetent and ignorant staff,... and general lack of concern by all for the youth. The Cover-ups that followed the deaths, however, were purposeful,planned conspiracies designed to hide blame and conceal the truth. The deceitful attempts by DJJ authorities to protect high ranking personnel and politicians and to avoid truthful disclosure appear to be both criminal and malicious in intent. We will not likely see justice for the boys in this life (it will come on judgement day)... ~Tax Payer

• 12/21/06 Charlie Crist: Governor, At the very least Schembri and Chervanik should be removed from their present highly-paid, extremely responsible positions. Their lack of action allowed dangerous conditions to exist in DJJ residential facilities including the Bay County Boot Camp. As responsible authorities they should have acted when the reports and complaints of problems were available prior to the death of Anderson. They have also allowed poor security conditions and environmental contamination to put youth and staff at risk at other facilities state-wide. If not guilty of criminal neglect these two are at least guilty of failure to meet their responsibility to ptotect the welfare of youth in their charge. ~Had Enough

• 12/20/06 Hillsborough West JDC: I think the screening of employees won't change anything. It's not about hiding anything. Mr.Needs is a very unfriendly person. Y'all say he is not a racist. I can't see it. The man uses people for what he wants... I don't know what Mr. ragget was thinking about because he really pulled the wool over eyes. That man has no clue... people are late eveyday and nothing is said. show up when they get ready. Telephones and food will still hit the floor. it starts with the head... the biggest violators are some of the folks he bought with him... And clark he needs to find a clue. or buy a vowel!! that dude is winging it. ~hrjdc-west

• 12/20/06 Riverside Academy: David Galloway, Thanks for doing the right thing. If more people had your guts maybe fewer kids would die in DJJ facilities. ~Parent

• 12/20/06 Riverside Academy: To Dave Galloway (formerly employed at Riverside), It sounds like you got the same treatment Steve Meredith received and for the same reason (refusing to lie). The continued reports of false reports,logs and audits from many DJJ sites is very troubling. You are to be commended for your report. It took courage for you to share the incident. Hopefully the loss of your job will not ruin your familie's Christmas celebration. You can be assurred the season will be festive at the mansions of Richy Rich and Jaccuzi Jim (the Sunshine Boys still in charge and livin large)....FOR NOW. Dave, I truly hope things work out well for you and your family. ~Anonymous DJJ

• 12/20/06 Orange JDC: Questions to Pifer...Will the report of the falsifying of documents at Orange be investigated this time? If it is found that logs or reports have been falsified , will someone be fired this time? Will this incident simply be another cover-up? I think you know that "cooked" reports and ledgers and logs are the modus operandi in your JDCs. ~Parent

• 12/20/06 Other: ...The reason why you will never get an answer from Eleese Davis regarding anything to do with Miami Dade is because she was the person who spearheaded the rest of the calvary to "Straighten Out and bring it to QA Compliance." DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE AFTER ALL THE SMOKE THAT SHE BLEW SHE IS GOING TO IMPLICATE HERSELF? She is only riding the wave and hoping that the new administration doesn't see through her so she can retire... Ity amazes me how rules, policies, and regulations applies to whomever they want but yet it does not apply to the gold ole boy gang-INCREDIBLE... ~Watching your every move

• 12/20/06 Orange JDC: Can someone please look into CHineult and Disney's...deceitful way in which they got rid of Lakeside to bring in their "preferred child" John and Park Place in. I know for a FACT that Park Place did NOT underbid Lakeside and that it was in the works to get them out... We now have mediocre mental health services whereas before we had excellence and compassionate care... I think xomeone needs to open up the books and inquire about this. ~Anonymous

• 12/20/06 Orange JDC: The false incident reports at Orange are just business as usual. Until someone goes to jail the lies will continue. I don't think anyone really cares. ~Anonymous

• 12/20/06 Riverside Academy: Thanks to "Truth Warrior" Galloway. The report of false information coming from Riverside is nothing new. Some will remember Riverside honcho Jason's little fibs about the presence of mold on the walls and furniture or the attempted cover up of the illicit evening sexual events at the facility. Inmate kids with knives and falsified reports are really not a big deal...not to DJJ anyway. The "Sunshine Boyz" do tend get nervous when such true facts are exposed. They don't want any problems to interfere with their high life in the mansions by the sea. ~Dunedin

• 12/20/06 Charlie Crist: ...I am thrilled with the appointment of Butterworth at DCF. Please consider a similar appointment at DJJ. The present top DJJ leadership, both in the capital and the regional offices has been tainted by years of cronyism and corruption. Sweet-heart contracts, poor fiscal management,slovenly work standards and incompetence have resulted in multiple incidents... DJJ could use a leader like Mr. Butterwoth. ~Tax Payer

• 12/20/06 Orange JDC: Much appreciation to the "Anonymous truth Warrior" from Orange JDC. It is unlikely that Pifer or Chinault will act to correct the problems there. They well know about the sexual improprieties and the falsification of logs and have covered the dirt. Eubanks is also "in the bag" for the corrupt system. Hopefully your report will reach the eyes of the "Transition Committee" or the Governor. Your vigilance and reporting may provide the catalyst for postitive change at Orange. ~Observer

• 12/20/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Who is responsible for the many thousands of dollars and the property stolen by DJJ personnel at Dade and other facilities? Does Secretary Schembri intend to wait this situation out like past crimes and hope it too just goes away? Will the youth be compensated for their loss to the thieves? Will Pifer have to answer for the poor management of the JDCs? Will anyone be held accountable or is this just one more DJJ cover-up. ~Cutler Ridge

• 12/20/06 DJJ Policy: "Senior Management Analyst" now there is an impressive title for another DJJ spin position. Will Ms. Salazar be analyzing the death of Martin Lee in Bay County? The abuses and injuries at Greenville and Cypress Creek? I doubt it! DJJ should be reducing the number of "do-nothing check collectors" in the bloated bureaucracy and get some creditable overseers out in the facilities before more tragedies occur. Chervanik can easily handle the phoney "analysis", lies, spin and cover-ups all by himself (that's his speciality). What the Department desperately needs is some capable, hard-working professionals out there in the trenchs. Not more high-paid sponges. ~State Employee

• 12/20/06 Orange JDC: ...The entire administration department is like the cast from the "Wizard of Oz". One needs a brain, another needs a heart, and another courage and so on. Not to mention they all need spines... Can someone tell me how Butler goes from Lutienent to Acting ADS... Is williams blind, deaf and dumb or does he just prefer the way Butler kisses his ass... May I ask why the "wicked witch" of the east (Priester)is being demoted? Is it because she tested positive for smoking weed... Oh and lets not for get the "wnanna be stupervisor in training" Officer Moore... He should have went to jail for beating up that kid... ~Anonymous

• 12/19/06 Other DJJ facility: Ms.Davis who is "ACCOUNTABLE" for the money and property DJJ officials stole from the kids in Miami? Who is "ACCOUNTABLE" for the lack of effective follow-up by Department officials to the complaints and reports of possible abuse at Bay County Boot Camp PRIOR to the death Martin Lee? Who is "ACCOUNTABLE" for the failure of DJJ contractors to provide adequate staff coverage, consistent mandated school hours, mental health services, etc. ? Who is "ACCOUNTABLE" for the lack of performance from the so-called "ACCOUNTABILIY OFFICE"? You must be keeping Casey and the"Knishe"company just goofing off and collecting a check. Haven't noticed much "ACCOUNTABILITY ~Tax Payer

• 12/19/06 Frustrated and discouraged: beware of asking questions of your childs jpo as they do not like it. If they do anything wrong they will not admit it and will do whatever it takes to cover it up. They will also take what ever action is taken against them if they do not lose their job will also be taken out on the child. This includes making false statements against them to ignoring any medical problems. I at the current time have a report that came to me from Mr. Olson's office with lies in it that can be proven by my childs last JPO whom they accused her of making. Please listen to every little thing that your child says it amy be extremely important. ~janel kelley

• 12/19/06 Miami-Dade JDC: If Pifer (the Cypher) had any balls the corruption and sleaze at Miami-Dade (and Orange, and Escambia, and Manatee, and Pasco and on and on) would not be as disgusting as it has become. His gutless leadership has been a major cause of the conditions that have deteriorated so badly. He will never accept the challenge that has been thrown at his feet and address the problems at Dade or Orange head-on. He just ain't got what it takes. ~Anonymous

• 12/19/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Excellent recommendation!!! Pifer do you have the professional integrity and the manhood to take the challenge? Go to Miami-Dade and deal with the theft and cover-up. We have never heard the truth about that crime. Were the victims of the theft compensated? Was anyone disciplined? What was YOUR responsibilty? All the disgusting messages from that site should cause you concern for the welfare of the youth. You should assign yourself there for long enough period of time to put the place in order. Maybe you could indicate to all that you are not the worthless joke everyone thinks you are. Like the man said...Lets see what you got!!! ~Anonymous

Last week tuesday 12-12-2006 was my 60 day review... I was told that I was doing a very good job and they had nothing for me to sign. The next day they talked about an inspection by DJJ set up for the 20th of december. I was not properly taught how to fill out their paperwork but I was taught not to make up information... They then looked at the paperwork and wanted me to make up all the figures, knife count, etc and I said that was against policy and they fired me for not cooperating... The paperwork fraud and the kids allowed to use knives inside the kitchen are some of the grave errors that they don't wish to address... ~Dave W Galloway [NOTE FROM J4K: DJJ Case #2006-08543]

The word is, she is already making a name for herself as a prime example of the autocratic, inept and arrogant management style seemingly valued by the current DJJ Management Team. Go team!!! ~an observer

Provide a plausible,serious and factual(for a change) explanation of the massive thefts that occurred here for so long. Ascertain if the vulgar,threatening emails from this facility are representative of the caliber of personnel at the facility. Put the place in some semblance of order and professional standards. Demonstrate some personal leadership if you are able. Do it if you have the guts or just continue to sit your butt,make lame excuses and collect your nice check. ~Lets see What You are Made Of

• 12/18/06 Gus Barreiro: Only DJJ would create an office (including staff positions and major budgetary impact) specifally to shield the Department Secretary, other DJJ elites and corporate friends from responsibilty for thefts,abuse,contamiation and the deaths of inmate kids. In "DJJ-Speak" this office of spin and cover-up is called "THE OFFICE OF ACCOUNTABILITY". Only at DJJ would lies and excuses be called "ACCOUNTABILITY". Only at DJJ would an Office assigned to provide cover and enable shoddy,unethical practices to occur at DJJ facilities be called (in DJJ-speak) an office of "QUAILITY ASSURANCE". ~Tax Payer

• 12/18/06 Charlie Crist: Our new Governor has promised " open government" and "transparency" in Tallahassee. How Gov. Christ handles the established gang of wastrels,political back-slappers,and plain-old crooks at DJJ will be an indication of his sincereity. You can be certain the lobbying and jockying for position is well underway among Department elites(key staff). That is what folks like Chervanik,McElroy,Casey,Pifer and Lorenzo do best. If Christ is wise and true to his word he will send the whole rotten bunch (DJJ administration Director and above) packing. There isn't much in those offices worthy of keeping around for an "open" Administration. Check the record. ~Dunedin

Grow up and get over it!!!But, look out supervisors if her master walker get missing on a saturday she called out to support her lady!!Both of them just need to pack up they stuff and just leave, at this time people should being giveing Pate a shoulder but there wasn't any annoucement or anything, so there goes to show no one cares,hell she could be lieing.but good job keep them h*es apart and pff the female mod,continue juggleing them ho*s!!!!Keep up the good work mod 14!!!!!!!!!! ~Anonymous

• 12/18/06 DJJ Policy: Why didn't Chervanik take action at the Bay County Boot Camp prior to the death of Anderson? There had been prior complaints and reports of related type problems at that site. If the Asst.Secreatary of Residential Services knew of problems why didn't he take action. If he didn't know what was going on in his area of responsibliity;why did't he know? Chervanik always claims ignorance of problems until an exposure occurs(remember Greenville Hills,Pahokee,Thompson). It has been his primary defensive procedure. First deny then lie. It's difficult to smooth over a brutal death on video, Charlie. I can't wait to hear what Mr. Meredith has to share. ~Anonymous

• 12/18/06 Other: If Chervanik knew about problems at Bay county Boot Camp prior to the death of Anderson and failed to act; why hasn't he been charged or at least fired? If Chervanik didn't know of problems at the Bay County Boot Camp;why didn't he know? There had been earlier complaints and reports of problems at that site. Why is Chervanik always ignorant of contamination,abuse,etc. until a crisis occurs or an outside source exposes the problem? Maybe Steve Meredith will have some answers. ~Parent

I give you credit you're sharp and you know you're stuff, but let's be real as you often say; you are as ghetto and thugged out as they come, but you do a good job of disguising from your boss, but be careful... Chief Watson... Do you think no one is aware of the of the numerous of undercover flirtacious comments you make frequently around the compound.

• 12/18/06 Charlie Crist: If the committee that Gov. elect Christ has charged with reviewing DJJ is observant and through they will note that the Department is structured for the benefit of career DJJ administrators and other officials not for public service or the welfare of youth. Good pay with little direct accountability or effort is the name of the game among the "key staff" and in the regional offices. Cover-ups, lies, false reports and record keeping, in-house reviews and investigations are the methods by which the system has been maintained. ~Tax Payer

• 12/18/06 Miami-Dade JDC: ...This is indicative of why people who view this board have such a bad perception about the staff who work at Dade Detention... As for your support of Hinson and Delancy, the only thing I can say about that is Hinson... she's going to take Pretty Boy Delancy with her, because that's the type of person she is. So my advice to Ponder, Hinson's daughter-in-law Wade, is to remember what you were taught coming up as a little child, you stay away from snakes and poision, because they both can have a deadly effect. Hinson remember when your past catch up with you, it's going to hurt harder... ~Anonymous

• 12/17/06 Charlie Crist: To Governor Christ, DJJ spokesperson Lorenzo publicly acknowledged that DJJ authorities have failed to return confiscated money and property. What is being done to retrieve the stolen money for return to the rightful owners? Will the victims of these thefts be compensated? Will the thieves be prosecuted? Will top DJJ officials be called to account for these CRIMES? ~Parent

• 12/17/06 Other: I just caught the Steve Casey quote on the homepage. "Every system needs a conscience"; how sweet to hear such noble words from a worthless, do-nothing, political hack that has sapped the system for years. If the DJJ "key staff" displayed far more "conscience" and far less hippocracy there would be less contamination,fraud,theft,abuse and death. Keep the phoney words Casey...We've observed the actions. ~Tax Payer

• 12/17/06 Other: Regardless of other changes that may occur at DJJ ; it is critical that those that have participated in years of deceitful practices and cover-ups leave DJJ along with Schembri. For the most part the Asst.Secretaries, Directors, Regional Directors have focussed their interest and enery on the enhancement of their personal careers, political patronage and the maintainence of a bloated bureaucracy. The welfare of youth or service to the public are not priorities with this self-serving crew. The failure of these parasitic bureaucrats has resulted in injuries and even death of youth in the DJJ facilities. ~Tax Payer

• 12/16/06 DJJ Policy: DOE/JJEEP/QA and DJJ/QA should get the "Genius" award for allowing the QAs of educational programs in the DJJ facilities to be reduced in number, scope and accuracy. IEPs in the DJJ school programs are a joke. Kids do not receive the special education services they should. FCAT preparation and testing is sporatic or non-existent, school classes are often cancelled due to short-staffing,scheduling problems or fighting. Most facilities falsify school schedule reports to indicate more minutes of school than is truly provided consistently, JJEEP QAs are mostly scripted shams. Kids in DJJ are being cheated out of an education... ~Educator

• 12/16/06 Gus Barreiro: Until it is recognized that change must start at the top of the Residential section (Charley C.) there will be no real change in the many comittment facilities overseen by this department. Many who have worked with him know that his self-interest and that of the providers takes precedence over the needs of youths. He says the right words but the actions don't follow. Will it take another scandal or worse for the incoming Secretary to recognize this? ~an insider

• 12/16/06 Falkenburg: To "Anonymous" from Falkenburg, Please leave "God" out of your vengeful attacks and slurs. You have made your point(repeatedly). For a time, some folks felt you were acting out of concern for the kids. Everyone knows Falkenburg is a mess. The continuation of your mean-spirited and childish insults have now displayed that you are a pathetic person with a personal grudge. The stupidity of your nasty barbs enables DJJ to discredit valid reports of corruption. Face it... there are many immoral people employed in DJJ facilities(far too many) but your fixation on this person/s indicates somthing personal. Get some help ! ~J2K Fan

• 12/16/06 Other: The"Sterling" performance (poor performance) of Miami-Dade,Orange,Manatee,Escambia and Pinellas have earned for "Pifer the cifer(zero)" another regognition as "DJJ Genius of the Week". It appears that his "leadership" has resulted in the maintainence of standards (Low standards) in the JDCs statewide. Remarkably this amazing career bureaucratic hump has risen high on the state pay scale without being held accountable for the chaos in his area of responsibility. He is rarely seen at the sight of the "crimes". Definetely another demonstration of DJJ genius. ~Awards Committee

• 12/14/06 DJJ Policy: To Pifer, If you were conscientious about your job, you would get yourself down to that Cess-pool at Miami-Dade and check out first-hand the source of all those idiotic and threatening emails. If kids are really incarcerated under the management of vulgar trash indicated by those emails;the deaths of kids in DJJ facilities are quite understandable. Your reputation as a do-nothing,political butt-kisser appears to be well founded. You should be embarrassed to accept the big salary you receive from working Floridians while the Detention Centers are allowed to run amok. ~Insider

I don't blame her for wanting to put her best and most noteable "achievements" forward for all to see. Her efforts and expense appear to have enhanced her career. ~Anonymous

• 12/14/06 Manatee JDC: I get tired of hearing about discrimination at Manatee.ALL the supervisors besides Mr Gargett and Mr Ogle are african american. And a good majority of these supervisors are bigots towards anyone who "is not in their clique". They ride certain officers and let the others "that are friends" and/or of the same race slide. The white officers have to write a report if they are one minute late, others don't even get spoken to. Officers get yelled at for tardiness but certain supervisors can't make it to muster on time. Practice what you preach... ~Concerned Staff

• 12/13/06 Charlie Crist: To Governor Christ, When you consider a replacement for the "Knishe".Please checkout the resume this time around. Anyone with a good PR staff and unlimited use of public money and resources can fluff up a fancy VITAE about all the honors they were"nominated"for(back in New York) while leaving out all the thefts and law violations they were investigated for. DJJ desperately needs a leader with character and ability not another phoney, political blow-hard. ~Anonymous

• 12/10/06 Other: Regarding the retention of the current top DJJ officials the new Secretary will have to analyze the ability and the character of the present "key staff" and Regional Directors. Hopefully he/she will take into account past performance,integrity issues, competence and work ethic. Given an objective consideration,It is unlikly many of the current group will remain.

Surely, Governor Christ will rid state government of this documented NYC thief. The leadership in the Department both in the grossly over-staffed Tallahassee offices and the regional offices is composed primarily of political butt-kissers and incompetent do-nothings.

Tom MacFayden, Diane Feldman} are removed from power. The track record... is littered with youth death, facility riots, escapes... yet Chervanik and his directors continue to be in charge. Why? What is their power base? How can Secretary Schmebri expect to be invited to stay on as Secretary when he condones this kind of poor performance by his Residential managers? ~Anonymous

• 12/09/06 Other: Talk about inefficiency and redundancy of roles...DJJ has at least three sections assigned to investigations and compiamce/accountability matters (Inspector General's Office,Office of Accountability and Office of Quality Assurance)... DOE and JJEEP are responsible for monitoring and supporting the educatioanal services in the DJJ facilities yet the Department employs a high-paid Education Services Director to do someting or other. No has a clue what Casey is suppose to be doing. Collins and Lorenzo share designated fibbing role... ~Tax Payer

• 12/09/06 DJJ Policy: The so-called "monitors" are often caught between incompetent, cowardly, butt-kissing regional administrators and politically-connected (heavily lobbied-up) profiteer contracted providers or long-time Department feather-bedders. Even the monitors that may ,at times, attempt to do a honest report on problem areas (a rare occurance)find that negative reports are usually stifled and covered-up. Perhaps Karen West is really trying to do an effective job. That is why she feels frustrated in a corrupt system. ~Anonymous

• 12/09/06 DJJ Policy: Speak for yourself Ms.West. I have heard that you are,indeed, a consciencious monitor but most aren't; thus the repeated contamination in the same facilities,maggots in food,short staffing, failure to properly obtain back-ground checks,sleeping on the job,screwing on the job, falsifying logs and documents...must I go on? The contractors laugh at monitors...they laugh all the way to the bank. ~Insider

• 12/08/06 Gus Barreiro: I hope if Mr. Barreiro is appointed Secretary of DJJ I hope he will consider keeping Darryl Olsen as Assistant Secretary for Probation. Recently had the opportunity to meet Mr. Olsen and he is a breath of fresh air for the department. He is supportive of djj employees having worked his way up from a probation officer 30 years ago. He actually cares about his employees and stands up for them. We need more people of the quality and integrity of Mr. Olsen in leadership positions in DJJ. ~Anonymous

• 12/08/06 Collier JDC: if that ignorant fool you have for superintendent would do his job right; there would not be a need to get so many new people! That dirty ba***rd son of a wh**e lets loose his two bi***es on the staff and all they do is ruin people's life, humilliating them and tarnishing their record. Moral is something that will come very hard for CJDC because that is one thing that Jordan, Johnson and Collymore have never had. ~W.S.

• 12/08/06 Other: The Awards Committee was stumped this week and settled on a three-way tie... Regional Residential "Leaders" Floyd...,Tom McFadyen..., and Diane Feldman... Without the contributions of these individuals we may never have experienced the mold,maggots,escapes,abuse and deaths that we have observed. Hopefully they will receive all the credit they so richly deserve. Congrax folks..you earned it! ~Awards Committee

• 12/08/06 Other: It should be obvious by now that nothing Penochio Lorenzo releases to the media can be considered true. She has been a credit to the illustrious tradition of lying set so notably by Arnold and Denham during earlier DJJ cover-ups. Question is : where is Ms.Tara Collins? Is she still in lier's training? Maybe she is doing her internship in deceitfulness under one of the vets like Chervanik or Pifer. That would really be learning at the feet of a master (a master lier that is). ~Insider

• 12/08/06 Falkenburg: Yo Miss D puff. puff, give. Ditzy, you got anymore of the yahyo? I can't imagine the conversations these two pot heads have at work. Have you slept with that officer yet? My wedding ring came off in the backseat of his car. These two have no buisness counceling any youth, when they can't even stay away from the drugs themselves. Party hard this weekend girls! The thrill ride can't go on forever. ~Anonymous

• 12/08/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Where is the loot from the Miami-Dade heist of the youth's money and property? Where indeed?...Does Pifer have a mansion (like "Jacuzzi Jim and Ritchie Rich the Sunshine Boys")? Just checking! ~Sleuth

• 12/08/06 Other: Good point...It is an obvious fact that at the DJJ contracted sites and even some JDCs(like Dade,Orange) there is a disproportionate percentage of poorly educated,low-skilled,trash-mouthed individuals with low moral character and a poor work ethic. It is not news to anyone that is aware of what is going on out there. Lets use this board for more productive purposes like exposing the lies,abuse and corruption of the system at large. If we can achieve quaility leadership in DJJ, we will see the scum washed away. If you are serious about making things better forget the low-level whores for now. Stick to crooks in the DJJ and the corporate administrative offices. ~Anonymous

• 12/08/06 DJJ Policy: If there is a Governor's investigation or a legislative review of the financial,ethical and efficiencies of the contractual management of the DJJ contracted providers by Department monitors and administrators,it will indicate many issues more troubling than the "retro pay" to the "Sunshine Boys". The relationships between lobbyists, pols,DJJ officials and the corporate profiteers has been entirely too cozy for too long.The awarding of contracts should be removed from DJJ ASAP;at least until honest DJJ "key staff" can be put in place. ~Tax Payer

• 12/08/06 Orange JDC: According to policy youths only control what type level of (PAR) used, now an ORJDC youth control the building. Before putting a youth in confinement for disrespectful toward staff, major disruption, and verbal threaten staff about committing harm you must get a supervisor to talk to youth. Which leads to youth place back on mod laughing at staff? ~Anonymous

• 12/08/06 Other: Chervanic should ask the "Sunshine Boys" or Securicor for a job. The Profiteers owe him. They owe him big time! The new DJJ honcho should dump those that have been envolved with the shady deals and cover-ups. ~Anonymous

• 12/08/06 Gus Barreiro: This message is for those who truly believe that Gus Barreiro would link himself to the "GOOD OLE BOYS." I believe that you make these comments because you really have not been paying attention to his actions and what he stands for. Let's take his last battle with his Republican Colleague "Arza." He demonstrated to everyone and did not care who's feathers he ruffled. If you are ethically wrong, you are wrong and that is that. Gus has demonstrated he has no hidden agendas... He is the one and only person that knows our inside dirt and the scams. Don't you recall his comment in one of his committee hearings... ~Watching your every move

• 12/07/06 Other: For an amusing diversion some may want to check out the BBC series on public TV called "Rumpole of the Bailey" a comedy about an eccentric English barrister Horace Rumpole. I swear the actor that portrays the crusty protagonist Rumpole looks exactly like the "Knishe". They could be identical twins. Unfortunetly the similarity ends there as the Rumpole character is an honorable man. ~Anonymous

• 12/07/06 Other DJJ facility: Here is a small portion about Florida - In Florida, they were unable to account for the whereabouts of 1000 foster children after Gov. Jeb Bush ordered them to account for all children in state custody. They only reported 155 out of the 1000 missing children to law enforcement. Below I will put the link for the full story , Any way if our State can care less about this . What makes anyone realy beleave they will care about any child killed they have incarcerated. Children will never have a chance ,Unless we start standing together!! Link http://www.massnews.com/2002_editions/06_June/061702_mn_missing_children. shtml ~Forever in tears Diana

• 12/07/06 DJJ facility: An open book - Children are an open book , with unwritten pages. A waiting for us to take them through the stages It start's with that very first touch Filled with promise of love and dreams, to fill the skies . This unspoken trust sparkle's within the little ones eyes ! Smiles ,giggles and songs to sing Waiting to see what tomorrow will bring . Days , months and years rush bye ! With day's to long and nights to short. There is hardly time to hush a cry. Others come with songs of sort, rewriting it script , Helping to fill the pages During , so many important stage's... ~D Matthews

• 12/07/06 DJJ Policy: ...If a DJJ contracted provider collects a payment for a contracted service that was cancelled ; is that not a fraud? If a contracted provider fails to adequately staff a facility in a manner to provide a mandatory service on a consistent basis; has not the contract been violated? DJJ expends thousands of state dollars for cancelled services. Check out the big-time providers Securicor/G4S,CSC/YSI,Premier,Sunshine,etc)... Recreation,Mental health,school hours,vocational,literacy,even hygiene and showers have all been cut short without cost adjustments... ~Tax Payer

• 12/07/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Please believe that everybody that works at Miami-Dade is not a stupid, nasty,Ghetto-talkin,idiot. Some of us have to work with them every day and they are worse than the kids. It gets tiring but we still care and we try to do a good job. To read the postings from Miami-Dade on this site is an embarrassment to those of us with a Christian up-bringing and a little education. I just hope that a change is coming soon. ~Anonymous

• 12/07/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Once again I would never tell anyone where I work. I am ashame to say I work at Miami Dade. Yall gossip bout junk and then get in people face talkin mess. I need my job so I cant leave. But I look all over for something else. Yall aint nothing but juveniles you self. I been here 22 years and I cant wait to leave. Mr dale doing his best supervisors doing they best. its yall making the place look bad. no one is keepin you here if you hate being here then get the h--- out. ~Anonymous

• 12/07/06 Gus Barreiro: To Gus Barreiro. You should take action to squelch the ugly rumor about an association between you and Charles Chervanik. Such an association can only create a suspician in the minds of those that know the character of Chervanik that you may also be a con-man type. You would be wise to steer clear of some of the log-time DJJ unsavory types. These are the very maggots that have feasted on the carcass of decent programming for youth in Florida. ~Insider

• 12/07/06 Gus Barreiro: The prolonged period of unaddressed theft at Miami=Dade(and other Sites), under-staffing and over-billing at many of the for-profit sites,poor upkeep and maintainence,mold and spoiled food could only occur in a system that has allowed fiscal management and accountability to be compromised to a deplorable condition. It will take a great effort and a significant infusion of new (honest and capable) personnel to set our DJJ on a proper course. I think Gus Barreiro is the man to lead in this effort. ~Dunedin

• 12/07/06 Charlie Crist: Did anyone ever wonder why DJJ allows some venders(Sunshine,Securicor,etc) to collect retro pay or extra payment for unserved slots? Sounds shady... Sounds Shady as HELL! Governor Christ, Please, order an independent financial audit of DJJ to cover the past several years and stand back and observe the corruption! You will see why the private contractors maintain all those lobbyists and Tallahassee reps. Ever wonder why poor performing companies continue to receive DJJ contracts? Same reason. ~Anonymous

• 12/07/06 Riverside Academy: Did "Ritchie Rich" and "Jacuzzi Jim" the "Sunshine Boys" arrange for an analysis of the air quality at Riverside yet? The recent rush clean-up and paint won't kill mold spores in the AC,ceilings and walls. Don't wait until people are permanently damaged. ~Big Money

• 12/07/06 Gus Barreiro: We at Orange know that, if you are appointed Secretary, you will have to get rid of the likes of Chineult and Disney and promote Mr. Goff - he truly cares! Thank youi. ~Anonymous

• 12/07/06 Charlie Crist: ...I cannot speak for all monitors, but the ones I do know are dedicated and do not hide problems they find in programs. Monitors are required to complete so much documention... that little time is left to do the job. We spend hours responding to requests for information,completing reports and filing. There is no explaination as to why the reports are needed, and no "output" as a result of the reports submitted every month. The Dept. spent $100,000.00 on a consultant and created a monster... ~Karen West

• 12/07/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Did they ever recover any of the stolen money at Miami-Dade? Did Pifer or any of those in charge receive a reprimand? Is the "in-house" investigation over? How much longer must the people of Florida tolerate this type corruption? Governor Christ, fire the whole lot of them. There is no truth in DJJ. You can believe nothing that comes from that department. Liars all. ~Anonymous

• 12/07/06 Other DJJ facility: To other DJJ "Realist", You changed your tune dramatically in your follow-up email. I fear the dirty words ,nasty comments and name-calling of your previous message indicated your true colors. I do appreciate any kindness, consideration and professionalism you directat my child. remember even us "touchy" and "dumbass" parents love our kids. ~Parent

• 12/06/06 DJJ Policy: Lorenzo told the press that DJJ didn't have a procedure for returning the money and property confiscated. For years the JDCs took money and property worth many thousands of dollars without a plan to return it. Either Pifer is a bigger doofus than anyone knew or he is dumb like a fox. Where is all that money? Hmmm ~Tax Payer

• 12/06/06 Other: ...Adultery and fornication and marijuana are common both on and off the job. Unfortunetly,that's the nature of DJJ at the present time. I'm certain I'm not the only person that is growing weary of the constant emails from certain facilities about who's doing what... Report infractions to the Abuse line, the media, Law enforcement... this site can be a conduit to state-level officials and the public about important issues... When DJJ is cleaned up, the new leadership will take out the trash. ~Anonymous

• 12/06/06 Other: With all the problems in the residential facilities (inuries,escapes,contamination,death); why would any new Secretary even consider keeping Chervanik on board? That sounds like a rumor out of the DJJ offices in Tallahassee. Wishful thinking maybe. Chervanik is one of the very worst of the whole crooked gang. Gus wouldn't do that. ~Anonymous

• 12/05/06 Collier JDC: ...we have and have always had good officers that make a very positive impact on the facility... alot of excellent staff members are being overlooked and not acknowledged... The next time crjdc wants to acknowledge someone... ( Employee of the Month) make sure they deserve it.There were several other more deserving employees. Maybe thats why it wasn't announced properly and no one even knew about it... if I was recognizing someone for a good deed I would scream it from the roof tops... ~Anonymous

• 12/05/06 Gus Barreiro: To Rep. Barreiro, If you are appointed to the position of Secretary of DJJ you will find it necessary to remove a number of the current top administrators in order to clean up the Department. First among these is "Good time Charley Chervanik". Chervanik has a big false smile and nicey-nice words for everybody. Don't be fooled. He has been associated or directly responsible for much of the corruption in the Department. He has put the interests of the profiteers over the welfare of the youth. He is loyal only to himself. ~Insider

• 12/05/06 Other DJJ facility: to the concerned parents, my my are we a bit touchy... i have no idea how you perceive my opinion to mean that im using vulgar language and acting unprofessional with your child. all that know me, your children included,say that im the most caring and understanding staff they met.every day i ...show them appropiate ways to deal with their behaviors, give them extra calls to mothers or fathers when there upset, etc. i am not unhappy with my job, i am not mean or vulgar toward your kids... i am simply a realist... ~Anonymous

• 12/05/06 Other: All we can do is have faith and pray for better days at DJJ. At this time we don't know who will lead the Department after January. It could even turn out that Schembri remains (ugh). I do not believe that Barreiro would ever link up with Chervanik but stranger things have happened. Politics is difficult for honest folks to understand... Again I suggest...We can pray for better days. ~Parent

• 12/05/06 Miami-Dade JDC: I guess we have witnessed another DJJ in-house investigation come to a close at Miami-Dade. Thousands of dollars stolen over an extended period and no one held accountable. Different verse,same dirty old DJJ song. No one should be surprised. The corruption runs so terribly deep. Lorenzo,just save the b-llsh-t explanations this time. We all get the picture. ~Anonymous

• 12/05/06 Miami-Dade JDC: If you are tired of working double on and what to file a class action grievance contact Larry Johnson or Ed Moore of AFSCME(We Fight we Win) at 305-651-6617 and leave a message if i am not in the office. Same holds true for Broward and Palm Beach Juvenile Detention Centers. ~AFSCME

• 12/05/06 Gus Barreiro: To J4K, Have we misjudged Gus Barreiro? Is he really linked with Charles Chervanik? I don't want to believe that can be true. ~Concerned Parent

• 12/05/06 Gus Barreiro: No Way...Gus isn't stupid. If Chervanik,Lorenzo and Pifer stay, we may as well keep the "Knishe". If Gus is appointed the vermin will soon leave the dirty old sinking DJJ ship. They can't survive in the fresh air and daylight. Don't sell Gus short! ~Cutler Ridge

• 12/05/06 Gus Barreiro: To Gus Barreiro, Please Gus, Say it ain't so! charle Chervanik represents everything that is dirty and wrong with DJJ. He is a known deceitful glad-hander and a self-serving manipulator. Has he manipulated you? If you think you have friends among the "key staff" at DJJ ,you have been deceived. Don't trust those that have lied and covered-up abuse,fraud and contamination. Don't be taken for a fool. You can not create a clean Departmant with dirty components. Don't put "new wine in old skins". Stand for truth and justice and many will stand with you. I hope you read this sincere message and take it to heart. ~Tax Payer
