Welcome to

The Department of Juvenile Justice is investigating allegations that a 16 year old confined at the Dozier School for Boys was the victim of repeated sexual assaults by a female teacher�s aide. DJJ Chief of Staff Cynthia Lorenzo confirms the investigation is underway� but that�s about all she can say right now.
��In this particular case, I can�t comment because it�s under investigation. But I can say that we did receive some allegations of improper conduct at the Dozier School for Boys and we immediately sent out a team of investigators and have an open investigation into the incidents surrounding that,� said Lorenzo.
The boy�s mother is trying to get him out of Dozier� a maximum security jail in North Florida�s Jackson County. She wants his released for outpatient treatment of transferred to a different facility. But Lorenzo says their policy is that no one gets released until court-ordered treatment has been completed.
�And if the mother has some concerns than certainly we�ll work with her to see what�s in the best interest of her son,� Lorenzo said.
The teacher�s aide is no longer employed at Dozier, but so far she is not facing any criminal charges and her alleged victim is still confined.
