New home unveiled for Trumbull's troubled teens

HOWLAND — Trumbull County Children Services unveiled a new living facility to keep troubled teens near home.

Board directors, along with guest U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Niles, D-17th, cut the purple-and-white ribbon outside the entrance of the new 20,000-square-foot Children’s Center. A crowd of nearly 75 area residents, including adoptive parents, church members and Trumbull LifeLines employees, gathered Wednesday amid chilly winds to tour the new home.

Before the ceremony, Marcia Tiger, children services executive director, explained how the residence will help integrate abused children and teenagers back into families and society.
