Thanks for giving a 360 degree view on such a topic.

I am working in juvenile prosecution this summer and I can say however, that I at least notice some difference in the way the system treats juveniles. The attorney I work for at least seems to be advocating for the children as well instead of just prosecuting them and trying to get them put away for as long as he can. In the limited amount of cases I have seen I have at least noticed some sense on the part of the attorneys, the judges and the department of juvenile services (DJS) to do what is best for the juvenile. Also, Maryland just enacted legislation to allow DJS to move juveniles to different care facilities without a court order when it is clear that the rehabilitation program they are in is not working for them. There is at least some hope that rehabilitating the juveniles is one of the main concern for at least some people in the system. However trying to do something to keep them out of the system all together would be better than just trying to rehabilitate them once they are already in the system.Nicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985022068047328469.post-89408122702339536692012-06-19T21:56:38.480-04:002012-06-19T21:56:38.480-04:00Nice Ton!

I agree it is very sad that these kids should be punished and I don't believe because of their history that they should have to stay in prison for the rest of their lives. I hope Congress can come up with something for at risk children who commit crimes. Keep me posted and keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985022068047328469.post-74773244660902791272012-06-19T21:56:14.272-04:002012-06-19T21:56:14.272-04:00This blog was so moving.

It makes me want to change the system and make sure that children never have to go through things kike this at such a young age. I agree that this can be changed to an extent, but that means that people in the education system and the social welfare system have to actually care for the children and want to make a change.<br />Good job and keep it up!Jasminenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985022068047328469.post-10138254629871280532012-06-19T17:49:00.657-04:002012-06-19T17:49:00.657-04:00Thank you!

Most of these children go to poor inner city schools with no resources, if we fixed the education system we would be one step closer to fixing this problem. I just find it so disheartening that we allow these children to go through so much in their short lives without ever helping them but we are there with open arms welcoming them into the criminal justice system the very second they get into any type of trouble. These children go through so much in their short lives, yet we expect them to come out of it unscathed and go on to become productive citizens with no help, guidance, or role models.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119864413990880474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985022068047328469.post-72486495656471838652012-06-18T14:17:23.675-04:002012-06-18T14:17:23.675-04:00This is an excellent post Tonya!
The stories of ...This is an excellent post Tonya! <br /><br />The stories of Kuntrell and Evan are very heartfelt to me. Society does need to wake up and realize that there are many children out there like Kuntrell and Evan, that are raised by their environments and the people that surround them, to know nothing more than violence, alcohol, and other illegal activities. It seems like the people who have always lived in a positive environment tend to ignore this issue like it doesn't exist.<br /><br />I do not believe that this issue will ever be completely solved. If it is possible, it would take generations. I do believe, however, that this issue could be minimized. I've done a lot of research on this topic and I had one very detailed solution in mind. My solution is to adjust the education system in these areas. The faculty and staff of these schools will have to step up if the parents won't. These schools can have a "program" where once a week, every kid in the school writes about their life. It is similar to what they did in the movie "Freedom Writers" except it will be on a bigger scale. It is easy to tell which children need guidance when you let them free write about life, goals, and whatever else they would like to include. At this point, the school should select those individuals that need guidance and recommend them to an after school program that's ran by mentors and guidance counselors.<br /><br />It would be really difficult to make something like that happen, and there's probably a better solution out there. Either way, it's a lot better than locking them up and throwing away the key. These kids need a chance.<br /><br />Again, excellent post Tonya! I hope to read many more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
