Threatened and restrained at CYFD Albuquerque office
A Searchlight investigation details verbal threats and physical restraint of foster youth by private security at CYFD’s Albuquerque office. Two teenage boys were allegedly thrown and one repeatedly hit, with staff citing mixed views on force. The article links these incidents to systemic issues from a 2020 reform contract and a 2024 monitors’ report showing thousands of congregate care placements and ongoing safety concerns.
