Court: Moving Abused Trans Teen to Adult Prison is Unconstitutional
Connecticut’s Appellate Court ruled earlier this week that the state’s child welfare agency, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) violated a transgender teenager’s due process rights when they transferred her to an adult prison. The state’s second highest court ruled that the lower court judge deciding the case did not hold DCF to a high enough standard of proof when it presented evidence that the then 16-year-old, who had a long history of being abused in the child welfare system, was too violent for DCF facilities. The court’s ruling stated “The respondent's due process rights were violated on the ground that DCF failed to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, its entitlement to have the respondent transferred from its care to the supervision of the Department of Correction.”
