The secretary of the Department of Juvenile Justice understated the number of reported assaults by officers against teens when he testified recently before state legislators, a top agency official acknowledged yesterday. Bishop L. Robinson insisted in testimony Dec. 4 that his office had received 84 reports of officers physically assaulting teens in 2000 at the state's three largest juvenile jails. Yesterday, the department said investigators received 114 reports of officers assaulting teens in the first 11 months of the year. Twenty-four of the allegations were confirmed, juvenile justice officials said. The department also released data showing that one of the jails sent 89 teens to Frederick Memorial Hospital during the year. In his testimony, Robinson presented legislators with data that indicated only five teens were sent to the hospital. |
