A rally was held in Bridgeport Sunday with parents who tell News 12 they have serious concerns about the Connecticut Department of Children & Families. Many in attendance at McLevy Green say the agency has negatively impacted families with its heavy-handed approach. The group's goal was to get the public and officials' attention. One of their demands is that DCF stop unfairly using parents' mental health history against them. Ahead of Sunday's rally, News 12 spoke to Tina Jefferson, the Bureau Chief of Child Welfare for DCF "We understand the trauma when a child is removed from their home and so we do that as a last resort," says Jefferson.
