田纳西州的一项国家审计发现,儿童服务部存在系统性的失败,包括虐待儿童的调查拖延、对少年设施的监督不力,以及诸如TFACTS等过时系统持续存在的问题。 A Tennessee state audit has revealed systemic failures in the Department of Children’s Services, including delayed child abuse investigations, inadequate oversight of juvenile facilities, and persistent issues with outdated systems like TFACTS. 报告强调指出,在更新儿童死亡记录方面出现拖延,监督审查不够充分,没有进行医疗检查,这引起了弱势青年的安全关切。 The report highlights delays in updating child fatality records, insufficient supervisory reviews, and missed medical screenings, raising safety concerns for vulnerable youth. 尽管有一些改进,如减少放弃电话和降低更替率,但关键问题依然存在,包括滥用案件和不当付款的证实率低。 Despite some improvements, such as reduced call abandonment and lower turnover, critical problems remain, including low substantiation rates for abuse cases and improper payments. 这些调查结果有效期至2026年6月,将为州委员会对DCS未来,包括潜在重组的审查提供资料。 The findings, valid through June 2026, will inform a state committee’s review of DCS’s future, including potential restructuring.
