    Case 3:15-cv-01528-CSH Document Filed 03/03/17 Page 1 of 75 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT GEORGE S. HARASZ, and DOUGLAS A. WIRTH, Plaintiffs, v. 3:15-cv-1528 JOETTE KATZ, ELIZABETH FERREIRA, TOWN OF GLASTONBURY, JAMES A. KENNEDY, and MARCH 3, 2017 WILLIAM TRANTALIS, Defendants. RULING ON MOTIONS TO DISMISS HAIGHT, Senior District Judge: Plaintiffs commenced this civil rights action in Connecticut Superior Court. Defendants removed the case to this Court. Federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 stems from Plaintiffs' claims that their rights conferred by the United States Constitution were violated by Defendants' conduct. Plaintiffs assert that Defendants acted under color of state law, giving rise to this Court's original subject matter jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Plaintiffs also allege state law claims, which fall within this Court's pendent jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1367. An Amended Complaint [Doc. 33] (sometimes hereinafter "AC") is the operative pleading. All Defendants now move to dismiss the Amended Complaint pursuant to Rule12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiffs resist those motions. This Ruling resolves them. 1 Case 3:15-cv-01528-CSH Document Filed 03/03/17 Page 2 of 75 I. INTRODUCTION During the pertinent times, Plaintiffs George S. Harasz and Douglas Wirth were citizens of the United States and the State of Connecticut. They resided together in the Town of Glastonbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs advised the Connecticut Department of Children and Families ("DCF") that they were willing to take in foster children for adoption, providing that none had past sex abuse issues.

    04/02/2018 Gov. Malloy and Lt. Gov. Wyman Statements on Decision by Congresswoman Esty to Not Seek Re-Election (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman released the following statements regarding the announcement made this afternoon by Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty that she will not seek re-election this fall: Governor Malloy said, “Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty’s decision not to run for another term is the right one. She has done important work on behalf of her constituents on gun safety, economic development, and much more. I spoke with the Congresswoman multiple times over the weekend and as recently as today, encouraging full transparency with the press and public, and also urging her to do what is in best interest of her constituents and her family. I believe she is now doing that. The truth is, too many facts about how this incident was handled fall short of appropriate standards for responsible and responsive leadership. Fostering a safe and supportive workplace culture for staff must be a guiding principle for all managers, and especially all elected officials, from local office all the way up to the President.” Lt. Governor Wyman said, “I think this is the right decision and I thank Congresswoman Esty for her many years of service to the residents of the fifth district and the State of Connecticut.” Twitter: @GovMalloyOffice Facebook: Office of Governor Dannel P.

  • Testimony Before the Joint Committee on Judiciary – March 24, 2021
    Testimony before the Joint Committee on Judiciary – March 24, 2021 Presented by the Connecticut Coalition to End FGM/C Senator Winfield, Representative Stafstrom, ranking & other distinguished members of the Judiciary Committee: We are a newly formed survivor-led Coalition working to end the practice of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in the State of Connecticut. We comprise a broad group of survivors, stakeholders and advocates. Brief descriptions of our members are attached. We formed in late summer 2020, just after our neighboring state, Massachusetts, became the 39th state in the nation to enact a law - Session Law - Acts of 2020 Chapter 149 https://malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2020/Chapter149 - to ban the practice of FGM/C on minors. Some among us worked on the passage of that legislation. Connecticut has yet to address this important human rights issue in any manner. This proposed legislation SB 1069 under review today may be a good first step, provided it does not serve to unnecessarily delay passage of a comprehensive law that seeks to prevent the practice and support survivors. FGM/C is a practice that impacts Connecticut residents. The Population Reference Bureau estimates 2,658 women and girls in the state are at risk of or have undergone FGM/C - https://www.prb.org/wp- content/uploads/2016/02/us-fgmc-all-states-table.pdf. We already know that in 2021, one high school girl in Connecticut had to seek sanctuary in New York State to avoid family pressure to undergo FGM/C. FGM/C is the cutting, partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for non-medical reasons to control a girl’s sexuality and make her acceptable for marriage and to the community in which she lives.

  • Connecticut Family Stability Pay for Success Project FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    Connecticut Family Stability Pay for Success Project FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Ensuring Family Stability is a priority for Governor Dannel Malloy, Department of Children and Families Commissioner Joette Katz, and the State of Connecticut. The Family Stability Pay for Success project is an innovative strategy to better serve families struggling with substance use by expanding an intensive, in-home treatment program to families presently involved with the Department of Children and Families. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF), Family-Based Recovery Services at the Yale Child Study Center, and Social Finance are launching a Pay for Success (PFS) project to promote family stability and reduce parental substance use for DCF-involved families throughout Connecticut (the “Connecticut Family Stability Project”). The project will allow Family-Based Recovery (FBR) to serve approximately 500 families throughout Connecticut over four and a half years. Once a family enrolls with FBR, they receive services focused on understanding and responding to the child’s developmental needs and treating substance use for an average of six months. Substance use is a pervasive challenge for families involved with DCF and it has persistent consequences for the State of Connecticut. DCF spends more than $600 million each year to address child abuse and neglect. In 2013, more than 50 percent of all cases investigated by DCF had an indication of parental substance use (18,118 out of 36,131). In addition, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that the lifetime cost associated with one incident of child maltreatment is more than $210,000 in healthcare, child welfare, criminal justice, and special education costs and productivity losses.
