DCFS Woes in McHenry Co. 'Getting Worse,' State's Attorney Says
"The root of the problems, however, remain the same – a lack of accountability for inadequate performance."
CHICAGO (CBS) — In the months since the death of AJ Freund, the McHenry County State’s Attorney says the system that failed the Crystal Lake five-year old has actually gotten worse.
In a letter obtained exclusively by CBS2, State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally writes “The problems with the DCFS Office in McHenry County have gotten worse over the last several months, not better. The root of the problems, however, remain the same – a lack of accountability for inadequate performance.”
