Is it a violation of a 16-year-old’s rights to place her in a prison with adult inmates even though she has not been charged with any crime?
Her treatment is appropriate and legal because she has “an extensive history of violence” against staffers and other residents of psychiatric facilities, according to the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.
The youth is a female transgender child who was born male but identifies as a female. In court documents she is identified as Jane Doe in order to protect her identity.
“The youth has an extensive history of violence, including targeting female staff at several programs as well as other girls in the programs,” DCF said.
The most recent violent episode, DCF stated, came at a Massachusetts residential program where the youth assaulted a female staffer, “breaking her jaw and temporarily blinding her in one eye.”
DCF described her as “uniquely dangerous, in that no other youth at the Connecticut Juvenile Training School has exhibited such a long-established pattern of assaults.”

Doesn’t sound very lady-like to me. Put him in a men’s facility where he belongs.

It is still male, albeit not a normal one, but still male.
Why is the prison system i.e. detention & punishment interested in whether the person identifies as a woman, a Beatles fan, a hang gliding enthusiast or a gardener?

Sounds like a crime to me
How the !#$%!#$%$^&* is this underage boy TRANSGENDERED? Did the state pay to castrate this boy, and did the state pay to give this boy a boob job? Who authorized any of that?
The only positive comment in her nine-page affidavit was her saying: “I have been provided with hormone treatments through DCF to further develop physical characteristics, including breasts.”
Jeez-enough of this crap-if the judge says HE us an adult, put HIM into the general prison population and forget about him until it is time for a parole hearing...

The article didn’;t make it quite clewar, my guess is he is being given female hormones but is pre-op, i.e. they haven’t castrated him (yet).
A violent teen male is violent teen male whatever the hell he feels like! How is this even an issue..??
In other words it’s a male
Insane, and a minor at that
targeting female staff at several programs as well as other girls in the programs,”
Hmmm, maybe the “gender identity” is just a ruse to have easier access to women and girls to target? What better hunting grounds than in a lady’s room or a woman’s facility?
EXACTLY how I see it. Encouraging this kind of mental illness to create another class of “victims” isn’t a kindness, it’s doing them a disservice. It’s child abuse. It’s lunacy. One does not create a zebra by painting stripes on a horse, for crying out loud!
“an extensive history of violence” against staffers and other residents of psychiatric facilities
Well then, too damn bad....
Does he have the same chromosomes, or two different ones? Its that simple.
Given their behavioral history, maybe neutering is not a bad idea....
