A woman who asked only to be identified as a mom from the
Escareno assured her that such training would be in place and that the Chicago Park District’s newly formed Office of Prevention and Accountability would take unprecedented steps to create a "culture of respect." "I was not comfortable with the conduct of leaders in that program, like asking her for social media, asking her to take a walk. And once I pointed that out to her, she had an ‘aha! moment’ and it didn’t happen again because she realized it was not appropriate, but not every kid has that realization," she said."I trust the process. I feel like this demonstrates it’s being taken seriously," she said.
Monday’s meeting was the first of three such town hall meetings that will allow residents to offer input before an April board vote that would officially approve the creation of the Office of Prevention and Accountability.
