Escondido residents worried about planned group youth home Escondido residents worried about planned group youth home By: PAUL EAKINS - Staff Writer ESCONDIDO ---- Saying they are concerned about their safety, among other things, residents of a largely elderly neighborhood near the Escondido Country Club are trying to prevent a group home for teenage boys from opening there.

Sheriff Smith recognized as a Top 10 Youth Homes fund raiser Smith stresses that the children who are housed in the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes are not troubled youth, that is, they have not been in trouble with the law. The children who live in the youth homes are from less than desirable home environments, which is no fault of their own. The programs at the youth homes provide stable residential living environments with staffers who “parent” the children, along with educational opportunities and fun activities such as sports and recreation.
