"" Recently there has been some back and forth between OCFS' administration (John Mattingly is commissioner of the Administration for Children's Services in New York City. Vincent Schiraldi the city's commissioner of probation) and PEF where Mattingly and Schiraldi are trying to paint not so factually correct pictures regarding OCFS juvenile facilities and their own track record.
First there was a post by Vincent Schiraldi and John Mattingly, ACS/OCFS
http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Wrong-way-to-punish-youths-625987.php, then a follow up by Kenneth Brynien, PEF,
http://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/Programs-exist-for-jailed-youth-635955.php....
Vincent Schiradi has a sorted history back at DC Youth Rehabilitative Services (DRYS or YRS) - aka DC Juvenile Justice where if he was not hired by NYC, he most probably would have been fired.

While the goal of rehabilitating youth and moving all youth to community settings is commendable, there needs to be a balance as not all youth (as illustrated by the Charles Lofty and Renee Greco murders at NYS OCFS facilities) are suited for community or group home settings.
In fact Mr. Schiraldi ran into a lot of public discontent and controversy regarding the number of juveniles that escaped custody under his watch who then either committed murder or were themselves murdered (17 in total).
Schiraldi was criticized for 1) putting juveniles into community settings that should not be there and 2) doping children with unwarranted medication i.e. seroquel for minor mood swings and as a sleeping pill.

See, http://beverlytran.blogspot.com/2010/08/why-new-york-city-recycles-dc.htmlA post that makes fun of why and how government recycles incompetent administrators:
I have to step in here and defend Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
Mayoral appointments are made upon recommendation of his deputies. There are components of public consent but it only comes, again, from the public recommendation of the deputy mayors like (left) Linda Gibbs Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services.
The decision to recycle failed administrators is due to the fact that there is a very limited pool of administrative candidates who are knowledgeable in the area of revenue-maximization schemes in child welfare.
Former D.C. child welfare administrators have demonstrated amazing accomplishments in skirting federal prosecution in fraud, waste and abuse in child welfare services; therefore, it becomes beneficial to maintain a workforce deeply entrenched in a culture of risk aversive policies of getting busted as being dysfunctional.DC’s Incompetence Is Coming To NYC in DrovesFirst Director of the D.C.
Department of Youth Rehabilitative Services Vincent N. Schiraldi (a D.C. reject) gets “recruited” by NYC. Now Schiraldi is bringing in more of D.C.’s incompetent juvenile administrators.
Instead of firing incompetent administrators, government just shuffles them from one state to another.
Vincent and Cronies were too incompetent to fix D.C.’s Juvenile Justice, so NYC decides to take them off DC’s hands.
How do we know they’re incompetent?
Just look at some of their D.C. “accomplishments” as reported by the Washington Post no less.

While Deputy Director David Brown and Head of Internment David Muhammad Resigned. David Muhammad was recently hired by former D.C. crony, Vincent Schiraldi.
Here’s a release written by David Muhammad tooting his own horn – though how he thinks success is 7 escaped wards dead and another 10 wards who escaped custody charged with murder escapes my understanding of success. Now NYC is stuck with more D.C. dysfunction.
These are not stories of incompetence.
These are resume milestones in child welfare fraud.
District of Columbia child welfare administrators posses rare skill sets. Not only are these professionals extremely capable of maintaining operations as noted in these news stories, but they are uniquely qualified in double billing.
Remember, District of Columbia is not a state and since there is no transparency and accountability in child welfare fiscal operations, administrators are experts in double-jacket cost-reimbursements for the child welfare system, simultaneously billing Maryland and District of Columbia.
There are other signals flagging multiple layering of double-jackets.
The technique was identified by a former governmental auditor who wishes to maintain anonymity, termed it the "Will Smith-Bill Smith" Syndrome.
The "Will Smith-Bill Smith" Syndrome A child is taken into the foster care.
An administrator will submit foster care cost-reimbursements for the child named "Will Smith, Social Security number ABC-12-WXYZ".
The costs are reimbursed to the government administrator.
Then, as the governmental entity has never implemented any computerized fiscal integrity systems, the administrator will also submit cost-reimbursements for the child named "Bill Smith Social Security number ABC-12-WXYZ".
There are no mechanisms in place to monitor the allowability of the costs and, in the event the syndrome is diagnosed, the administrators get recycled.
Take this syndrome and do it in a state and federal venue, and you have the creme' de la creme' in child welfare administrators. This is why New York City recycles D.C. ""
Child Protective Services is CORRUPT
