Serious mistakes, and errors in judgement were made in the past.

Several changes in the department.
I was surprised by the changes in the organization.
_______________________________
The Eighth Dauphin County Investigating Grand Jury.
Section 1 Findings of Fact.
On a daily basis there are workers crying, there are supervisors crying, and not just because of what they have seen or experience, it's just walking into the place where you-you don't see a light at the end of the tunnel.
A six month old baby is dead, and caseworker number 7 interviews the suspect parent prior to the police interview.
As of the date of this report, no charges have been filed in this case against anyone.
Did Dauphin county CYS employees Jenna Strickley and Kirsten Johnson commit perjury on February 26, 2015 and again during recall testimony on May 26, 2015?. Read page 79 of the report.
