Certainly he must've been abused, but he obviously has some issues. I agree with him that TYC has its problems. but he's projecting his own past on the situation.

I tire of the bashing of TYC employees. There are certainly staff who do things they shouldn't and there certainly are youth who are criminally minded. I wish Sheldon would focus on trying to encourage and support those staff who really do care about the kids, instead he wastes his breath ranting about abuses in TYC. It is such a waste of time and energy and such a discouragement to positive TYC staff. I left TYC because they do not pay a living wage for professional staff. Regretfully the agency does not have an interest in developing careers of professionals who have demonstrated a commitment to working with the complex and difficult TYC population. I hope some day Sheldon takes a different and more productive approach to support positive staff, and that the Texas Legislature and TYC administration will invest in the careers of those who really want to help the youth. Unfortunately I think both are as equally as unlikely to ever happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-68193644303646453102011-02-25T11:19:06.170-06:002011-02-25T11:19:06.170-06:000905- She runs a residential treatment facility do...0905- She runs a residential treatment facility doing "equine therapy" for adolescents in Boerne, TX.

But she's been investigated twice and exonerated both times. <br /><br />Big surprise- she generally gets her former toys violated on their registration so they end up incarcerated again. When challenged, he pat response is, "I am a respected child psychologist in my field, and you're a juvie sex offender who is going back to jail- who do you think the system will believe?<br /><br />I have a lot of dislike for this woman. And no, the stories are not fabricated- I'm not law enforcement or anything but a family friend, and I was able to verify the joint bank account and SO registry address history. If I could do it, why can't the powers that be at TYC?<br /><br />Pretty much because they don't care.

She grooms them from their admission to TYC until discharge, then moves them into her home to use as sexual playthings until she gets bored with them, then literally drops they off on the side of the road and tells them not to come back. If she can blatantly bring home boytoys from her TYC clientele and still be found "innocent" when investigated, why would anyone else worry about being discovered in their sexual misconduct? The system in a joke- the biggest sexual predators are doing the "supervision and rehabilitation" at TYC, not the offenders they victimize.<br /><br />...And yes, said counselor is still working in TYC and is highly respected in her field.

If Hernandez had been convicted they stood to collect tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't, but if a convict's word is ever enough evidence to send a corrections officer to prison the prisons will all be operated by robots. It should also be noted that the most highly prized skill to most of our clientell is the ability to lie well; believable but not too much detail and most importantly the ability to cover any glitch in the tale without any noticible hesitation.
