THE MAN WHO INSPECTED THE FACILITY AND THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER BEHIND THE LAW, TO PROTECT FOSTER KIDS IN THE STATE. >> ASSEMBLYMEMBER MIKE GIPSON IS DEMANDING CHANGE, SAYING SACRAMENTO COUNTY IS IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW,THE FOSTER YOUTH BILL OF RIGHTS, BY PLACING CHILDREN IN THE FORMER JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER. AFTER WATCHING OUR INVESTIGATION, HE SAYS HE IS NOW TAKING HIS FIGHT TO PROTECT CHILDREN TO THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE GOVERNOR. >> CLAIMING THE GIRL WAS ABUSED AND EXPLOITED. >> THIS IS HEARTBREAKING. >> MIKE GIPSON REACTS TO OUR INVESTIGATION. ON HUNDREDS OF FOSTER CARE CHILDREN BEING HOUSED IN THE WARREN E THORNTON JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER. AND THE LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILD, FAMILY AND ADULT SERVICES ON BEHALF OF A TEENAGED GIRL, CLAIMING SEX TRAFFICKERS HAVE ACCESS TO CHILDREN AT THE FACILITY. >> WE CAN FIND SHELTERS FOR DOGS. WHO WILL COME INTO HOMES AND PEOPLE WILL TAKE THOSE ANIMALS AND GIVE THEM AND ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET. YOU MEAN TO TELL MEET WE CANNOT FIND A PLACEMENT FOR CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTY? >> THE CHILDREN LIVE IN CELLS. LIKE THIS ONE, SHOWN TO KCRA DURING A TOUR IN 2018, BEFORE THE JUVENILE CENTER WAS SHUT DOWN. THE COUNTY SAYS THE CELLS ARE NEVER LOCKED. >> IT CREATES THE IMPRESSION POSSIBLY THAT THAT IS WHERE THEY BELONG, LOCKED UP. >> LARRY FLUHARTY IS THE FOSTER CARE OMBUDSPERSON AND MADE AN UNANNOUNCED VISIT LAST YEAR. AFTER SEEING THE LIVING CONDITIONS, HE INFORMED THE COUNTY IT’S VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF FOSTER YOUTH AND OPERATING WITHOUT A LICENSE. >> THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE PROBLEMS AND THEY NEED TO REALLY DIG DOWN AND GO BACK TO WHERE -- THEIR ORIGINAL IDEA, A HOME-BASED MODEL AND SEE IF THEY CAN MAKE THAT WORK. >> GIBSON HELPED WRITE THE FOSTER YOUTH BILL OF RIGHTS. A STATE LAW. >> THE GOVERNMENT HAS VIOLATED ITS OWN RULES AND REGULATIONS WHICH GOVERNS HOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TREAT OUR CALIFORNIA PROMISE. OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. AND THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCES. >> OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE LISTENING, WHAT IS NEXT? >> THE COUNTY HAS APPLIED FOR A TEMPORARY LICENSE TO KEEP CHILDREN PLACED AT THE FORMER JAIL. BUT GIPSON SAYS HE WILL DO WHATEVER HE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AND THE FACILITY GETS SHUT DOWN. FLUHARTY SAYS HIS OFFICE WANTS THE COUNTY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION BEFORE THEY CAN CLOSE DOWN THE CENTER. OTHERWISE THE CHILDREN WOULD NOT HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO AND COULD BECOME HOMELESS. THEY NEED THAT FACILITY SET UP BEFORE THEY CAN TAKE THEM OUT OF THAT JAIL. >> A LOT OF MOVING PARTS AND ACTION AND A LOT O
