On Thursday, Jane Doe sent a letter to Governor Dannel Malloy asking him to intervene.
The teen wrote, "My lawyer says Commissioner Katz is the only one who can fix this but when I wrote her a letter it didn't help." She continued, "If you're her boss you can do something, right?"

Meanwhile supporters for Jane Doe are planning another rally for her in front of DCF headquarters on Friday.
