De Blasio’s child-welfare pick was criticized for inmate ‘sex bash’


Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio’s choice to head up the city’s child-welfare agency allegedly once allowed an X-rated party for juvenile inmates — part of her “therapeutic” approach to rehabilitating violent thugs.


Gladys Carrión found herself in the middle of a scandal in 2010 when it was reported that under her watch as state commissioner of children and family services, violent juveniles at a facility in Goshen were allowed to have female guests over for a “social.”


But as The Post reported at the time, the December 2009 event turned into a wild sex party complete with lap dances and other lewd acts seen on surveillance cameras and involving an underage girl and a suspected hooker.


Four male inmates, including several violent gang-bangers, under the age of 21 attended the event, and each was allowed to invite a guest.


The guests included a 15-year-old girl and the suspected prostitute, who had been paid $ 100 by one of the inmates.


Republicans called for Carrión to be fired, but then-Gov. David Paterson refused, saying “she’s done an excellent job.”


And a spokesman for Carrión defended the socials at the time as “part of our way of incentivizing good behavior.” But the state later banned such parties after an overhaul of the juvenile-justice system.


A de Blasio spokesman claimed that reports of the sex party “were found to be baseless,’’ adding Carrión has been “widely praised’’ for her leadership.
