The discipline against the four probation officers at the Los Padrinos juvenile hall in Downey was in connection with 'youth-on-youth violence,' officials said.
Four L.A. County probation officers have been placed on leave in connection with “youth-on-youth violence” inside a Downey detention facility, officials announced Friday. The discipline comes after eight officers working at Los Padrinos juvenile hall were placed on leave for allowing a group of youths to beat up a teen in December.
' 'My commitment to dig deeper into potential wrongdoing, to take immediate action, and to publicly disclose my actions should make it clear that we will not tolerate anything that creates or contributes to a culture of violence in our juvenile facilities,' Viera Rosa said in a news release, while offering no specifics on what occurred. The incidents have been turned over to the California attorney general’s office to investigate, according to the Probation Department.
