Description
The union representing staff at Echo Glen Children’s Center are calling on management to address staffing and safety concerns after seven teens escaped Sunday.
A statement from the Washington Federation of State Employees details how the teens waited in a bathroom for four hours for a member of the graveyard shift who they had previously targeted to arrive. The teens attacked the staff member, locked her in a cell and stole her car keys.
The union said the staff member suffered a concussion following the attack which was detailed in a King County courtroom Tuesday.
