My child was being unsafe in the community running away being found with men 40 years older than her. she went to a facility when she was 16 years old under juvenile court and dcfs. Dcfs placed found the facility under their placement team. At Rock River Academy my child ran away many times her first major run she was found prostituting in Rockford, Il. I did not want her to go back to Rock River but her case manager at rock river said we never turn girls away. Children at Rock River have many run offs, many fights between each other and the staff. Rock River does not have much activities for the children inside the facility even their gym equipment have been taking away because of fights and staff not watching children like they should. Rock River children are not medicated well. My child did not see a psychiatrist for a total of four months at a time. Girls at Rock River continually say I have a girlfriend, well my daughter finally told me that girls are continually having sex with each other, and sometime staff just walk right by it as their doing bed checks. I have witness arguments in the hall and staff just stand around and watch without taking the children one by one away from each other. Next thing you know the police are being called and a girl is being arrested. I also found it very difficult to speak with her case managers and counselors they rather show you the door to leave than speak with you about your concerns. When you call on the phone to speak to your child, many times staff do no answer the phone , or they don't tell the child you are calling, when you ask the staff for their name they just hang up the phone on you. Another thing they do is talk kids out of making a complaint to the police when their is a fight, but when Rock River has had enough of the child they quickly press charges instead of calling the sass team. I can also tell you sass team is never called, they let children manic for a long period of time before calling anyone.
