DCYF Statement on Charges Filed Against GHS Staff
“Over the past year Juvenile Rehabilitation has added resources for investigations and intelligence which are paying off.
We are regularly working in partnership with law enforcement organizations, including the Chehalis Police Department, to thoroughly investigate and address any potential misconduct. When contraband is discovered, we immediately engage our law enforcement partners to review evidence and protect the well-being of young people at Green Hill School. Any allegations that involve sexual abuse are also referred to CPS for investigation and the staff is removed from contact with young people.
Our goal is to ensure the safety of all at Green Hill as well as in community. We appreciate the dedicated efforts of our JR staff and law enforcement partners in maintaining a secure environment and the efforts highlighted by our partners in their press release today.”
