Guilty

But the damage has been done, DCF is guilty of overstepping their bounds. The court order to send Jane Doe to an adult prison was overturned by an appeals court.

RTFORD — The transfer last year of a 16-year-old transgender girl to an adult prison was improper, the state appellate court said Monday in a ruling that will hold state child-protection officials to a higher standard for future transfers.

The Department of Children and Families will now have to present "clear and convincing evidence" that a child is too dangerous to remain in DCF custody, that the department is not capable of controlling the child, and that there is some evidence that prison would be in the child's best interest.

But the psychological damage has been done to Jane Doe and I don’t think she will ever get over being put into solitary confinement when you are sixteen.

"We had anticipated that (a reversal of the judge's transfer order) would be based on a finding that the statute itself is unconstitutional because it allows for the state to imprison society's most vulnerable people without requiring a criminal conviction," said Connolly.

"It is unfortunate that, as the court recognized, there is no remedy for the harm Angel R. experienced," Connolly said.

What is going to become of her when she turns eighteen this fall and ages out of the “system”? DCF will just wipe their hands and say “Not our problem now.” and walk away. What will become of Jane Doe with no social skills, no education, and no job skills?
