Second assault by youth claimed at Hurst center
A 16-year-old Cairo youth allegedly assaulted a 16-year-old East St. Louis boy at the Southern Illinois Children's Service Center in Hurst Bush, using a butcher knife. The incident follows a prior beating of a 15-year-old by the same youth a week earlier at the center. Center officials say the youth, placed on an emergency basis after a program in Champaign lost its license, loses control in open settings. The East St. Louis youth was treated at Herrin Hospital for a hand wound. a case worker wrestled the assailant to the floor as law enforcement arrived. DCFS and Ayers dispute emergency placement practices as the center faces possible electricity cut-off and ongoing budget pressures.
