Casualties in DJJ

"There never was a time when a major social problem was solved by beating a child. And there never will be such a time...

For centuries adults have injured children and have lied about it, and other adults have heard those lies and then merely turned away...

we must begin putting the blame where it belongs." 

 

We shall always remember in our hearts and prays with our son Daniel Jack Matthews, the following children that have died

while in the care of Florida,s DJJ systems and affilated programs.
