The juvenile justice system is a huge joke and I wonder why we even have a juvenile justice system at all!
I know and feel the frustration very well. I've learned a lot about it in the last 3 years of having to deal with it with my daughter. I don't know who the responsible one is that decided the youth laws should be this way. bet it's someone who had no kids or perhaps this person was a juvenile delinquent in his/her younger years, who knows but it does need a huge overhaul that's for certain.
Kids today only get a slap on the wrist, nothing more. They don't get the concequence they should for their actions is why we have so many kids that are out of control these days. We as parents can't do much more because our hands are tied according to the law. It's sick!
My child has been out of school and out on the streets since the age of 13. Do you think they enforced the truency law or punished her for her behaviour? NO! that's why i am a grand mother today. I'm lucky that my child hasn't died within these 3 years!
The fact that our kids have all their rights at age of 12 is rediculous. the youth system does need to be revised big time!
