The system needs to change their view from what’s wrong with the child to what happened to the child. We just interviewed a college professor who teaches a juvenile Justice class and he iterated this exact sentiment
Ok... First of all I was a child in the "system" in the 80s . That's great y'all have "speakers" but kids need to hear it themselves from those of us who been there . Truth bomb !!! We was sent to juvenile prison for leaving the very homes we was being abused , tortured and damaged in . And the "system" made a payday out of human trafficking.
I think we need to move away from the question of the undoubted corruption and harshness of the system, and think instead in terms of putting the politicians and legislators responsible on trial for crimes against humanity.
Being an actual juvenile I really feel like the juvenile system is broken. My PO is making me take a GED and forbids me for going to and gradating highschool. For something I've done 2 years ago. And I've been locked up 4 times. Im on house arrest for almost 5 months. I can't even leave my house. I'm A honer roll (4months straight), I go to church, I get in no trouble and yet my PO is still trying to lock me up in DYS (division of youth services) for 6 to 9 months. The dys system is meant to break a kid down and rebuild him/her into "rule abiding citizens). I'm 17 now and in all my juvenile years never once was my health or well being considered. Staff at my school for bad kids ("new day") treat us like criminals. Saying we need to be fixed and we can't be trusted. Anyways at least someone considers how we feel. Because POs and other juvenile system staff do not
Caleb... can you petition the court for a different PO? I don't know what state you're in, so I don't know if you can or not. Sounds like this PO is jaded and thinks all the kids that come across his desk are bad kids. I work with kids in the juvenile system and their crimes are no where near the biggest part of who they are (much like yours isn't). Juvenile "delinquents" are still kids with great personalities. How much longer are you on probation?
Hello. I just read you comment (3 yrs later) 🙄... If u don't mind me asking how r u doing now? I'm asking strictly out of concern... We live in a state and specifically 2 counties... That are blatantly corrupt. Approximately 10 years ago one county... Was under investigation. Us Marshalls, FBI etc. EVERYONE went down except the County Prosecutor... Anyways... Currently I am fighting the county... Along side my fiance... JFS... has destroyed his /our lives... He has lost everything. Including his 2 daughter's, (now 24 n 27)n his health... There's no end it sight... Hopefully your out of the system... Healthy n living your best life 🙏
I'm sorry you dealt with that, especially from the teachers. I teach in a placement facility and have done this for five years and I do my best for my kids. They are kids, some have made some horrendous decisions, but at the end of the day they are still just kids. Two of my proudest work achievements is getting all of our class of 2022 into some sort of post secondary education and when I obtained a grant to publish a book written by my students. That's what should be going on.
The Kids for Cash scandal in Pennsylvania was horrendous- so many lives ruined. Judges were receiving kick backs for each child that they sent to a for-profit detention center. Judges mades millions. Disgraceful. Sadly, Charlie passed away not too long ago.

People truly must united to demand a Justice worth a Democracy in the 21st century ! No child will be sentence in Europe as they are in USA ! I'm deeply shoked !

Marsha Levick's main theme is problem with law for juvenile offenders in the United State of America. Marsha first tells the story of a juvenile court, how penalties for juvenile offenses have been reduced and increased over the years. She also discusses the scandal related with judicial corruption in a juvenile court. I was most moved by the statement by one of the kid that there is no justice system in the United States, there is “just-ice”. Undoubtedly, Levick's statement makes me think about the juvenile penal system not only in the United States but in all countries in the world. That it is important to raise the topic of juvenile offenses and the penal system for minors in the United States, because this is a problem that needs to be solved.
I want someone to figure out why my son has been detained for 110 days over a misdemeanor from when he was 12 yrs old in 2014. Why is it ok for Nebraska mental health to treat and prescribe controlled substances to my child without my consent? I haven't lost any rights to my son. He is not a ward of the state. He is being held on a revocation of probation from 2014 because I took my family back to Texas to face major health issues. My son was 12 at the time and didn't have a say in leaving. I went to Texas to have open chest surgery and do treatment with oncology. I needed family support! We moved back to the state of Nebraska 6 months ago. My son has never been in trouble since his 2014. He shouldn't be held over something I made the parental choice on. I have called the Governor office, ACLU and Ombudsmen office today. Anyone who can help please step forward. No child should be locked up this long on a misdemeanor probation violation. More damage is being done to my son. Another detention review hearing is set in Fremont at dodge county courthouse since his trial date of Dec 15 was cancelled. He was placed at Lancaster youth center on August 23 2017.
LISA JACKSON be his advocate. Be his voice since he’s too medicated to speak for himself. Hire a defense attorney. Advocate for him. The social standards of school/religion/morality, they matter more than you think. Find a teacher who will commit to catch him up in school. Find him a guaranteed job. Join a church. These things matter so much but this is written down anywhere. It’s supposed to be common knowledge. These are unwritten rules that they use to gages who it is that belongs with society vs behind bars. I will say a prayer 🙏🏼 for you.
If victim s were repaired out of funds of police judicial system. We'd see a whole new landscape and system of operation. This regieme has no skin in the game

Talk about injustice. We actually have juvenile court judges. I really can't believe it. I had no idea that our system of justice has gone so far down the tubes. There was a juvenile MD named, "Doogie Houser", but that was TV fiction. I can just imagine it. Juvenile court judge: "Court will now recess for one hour. Anyone who gets on the white horsey today will be held in contempt, that white horsey is mine today.".
Good talk. No mention of race at all though. Why would that be relevant? Because of the disproportionate amount of youth of color that are impacted and disrupted by this system. Because of the documented fashion in which that system dishes out an even colder serving of just"ice".

Here goes, "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Miranda, not Miriam. _Miranda v. Arizona_ was an important court case. It established that when someone is arrested they have to be informed of their rights, such as the right to remain silent (that is, to not answer police questions) and the right to have an attorney present during questioning. This helps to limit the amount of coercion and manipulation police can use to get information from somebody. However, the police will still try whatever weaselish tactics they can think of so you’ll give up those rights. For example if you say you want a lawyer present they might try to bargain with you: “Hey buddy, you don’t really want that, do you? Getting a lawyer in here will take hours and make everything more argumentative. Why not just answer our questions?”
The justice system isn't tough enough I believe. If a teenager shoots a gun and kills someone, they should receive a very harsh sentence. They know right from wrong. They need to fear the power of the People. Too often it's the other way around.
No they don't need to receive a harsh punishment! Humans brains are still developing even into our early 20s. Minors should only receive 10 years max for serious crimes...
Right away, BS. "children" rather than juveniles. meant to bring an image of typical "children" rather than open. Lets talk all of those "children" in south chicago.
People need to start questioning the adults instead of the kids these days. It's as if only kids notice the corruption.
