Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is Vinnie.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hi. My name's Dave. My daughter was a prosecutor in Boston.
She moved to Connecticut to be closer to her family.
And she was a lawyer for DCF. Okay, she worked
for about six months and said they're lazy and incompetent
and she left. She now represents the judicial branch in Connecticut.
(00:22):
She's a real accomplished lawyer. And she said nothing good
about DCF.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
This is really important to me and it's not surprising.
Give me like a little bit of a timeline. So
she came here to want to get closer to the family.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
This was about two and a half years ago, about and.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
A half years ago, three years she got a job
with DCF in Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
After six months, six months she was a lawyer representing DCF.
She couldn't take it anymore. She said they were lazy
and incompetent. And she now represents the judicial branch in Connecticut.
She said DCF was was not good.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, if she's defending that, like she was a lawyer
for them, did she just did she just find defending
them in cases we wouldn't win that I'm reading between lines.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
She found she found them to be incompetent and lazy, right,
and he didn't want to work with him anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, but we just didn't Above and beyond that, it
would sound to me, my man as if also like
I can't represent you in a court of law. You guys,
you're failing when you're failing at every turn, like we
use every case.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
That's exactly what it was. Yeah, yeah, Uh, she's like
a type a personality. She wants to do her job
real good, and she couldn't deal with these people DCF.
A lot of people have that job because of DEI. Oh,
and and it's they just they're lazy, they're overpaid. She
(01:47):
couldn't deal with anymore. So that's that's that's let me
ask you.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
This, Uh, not questioning her character at all. She walked away,
and I was dirrighting to do. But before walking away
or upon walking away, did she blow a whistle in anyway?
Did she did she file? Did she let anybody know
like these people kids.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Are gonna that information was spread throughout the family?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Okay, I don't don't.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I don't think she I don't think she took it anywhere. Yeah, No,
she just didn't want to work with those people anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, and make no mistake. I think if she did,
if she did go to the big boss there and say,
you know, you don't you got a stable of people?
I think I think he dismissed it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Are you he or she? This is Connecticut. There is
no big boss. That's the bottom Lineah, you just came
up with you too.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
You just came up with a great line. This is Connecticut.
Like that's the ending to so many what this is Connecticut.
I'm gonna start using that in the meantime, uh, you know,
real quick. My stance on DCF and my opinion of
Connecticut's Child Services is not born out of these last
(02:58):
fifteen years, out of in the Vinie Penn project. This
was all through my time at Case one on one.
It predates my time on CAC one on one. That was,
you know, writing for local newspapers, writing for the new
Original new Haven Independent. New Haven writs, it's a story
like it's been failure town for decades. I mean, at
(03:19):
least that's always the way it looked at me early
on in the journalism chapter news Stories before I Go,
Because my first ever job was the police blodder. Yeah,
the newspaper jym. My first gig regular gig was just
typing up the police blodder. And I would go to
the editor with questions, great editor, actually, and she'd just
(03:42):
be like, it's really who what when? Like you were
giving the information, that's what the blotterer is. Isn't that
wild that those used to be in the like in
the newspaper and it was rough stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I love them public shaming works, you.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Know, And it was just facts, and I'm like, but
I have so many questions. And DCF was, man, I'm
not lying when I say that was nineteen eighty nine.
DCF was all over, like you know, had blood on
its hands. For how long I've seen no change. I've
never once heard about an overhaul. All my time here
(04:19):
in Connecticut and writing for newspapers and doing great, you know,
for what it's worth, I've never heard about an overhaul.
I've never heard a politician running on a Couple of
politicians have said there should be an audit as far
as child services, they're concerned. But again, that always felt
a little bit more about the money, not about the lives. Misappropriation,
(04:40):
you know, the funds and grants and grant dollars and
where they really went, not the actual lives. But I've
also got Rosa Deloro demands answers on unprofessional and unsafe
hammden Ice Rate operation. I would love it, Rosa. You
demanded answers on DCF's mishandling of that, I would any
(05:05):
Is any political figure going to demand answers on that?
Or are you too busy on Trump h
