CANTON â St. Lawrence County lawmakers again heard from constituents last week about injustices allegedly perpetrated by the Department of Social Services.
For nearly an hour Monday night, statements to the Board of Legislators built on previously submitted letters that allege misconduct, mismanagement and ethical impropriety particularly within Child Protective Services, county foster care and Fostering Futures, a program of the Childrenâs Home of Jefferson County that supplements care in counties across Northern New York.
âI realize that we are bringing up problems and not proposing solutions,â Casey M. Whitcomb told the board. âBut we need to first realize that there is a problem.â
