Re: PRINCIPLE SENDING KIDS TO JAIL

More | Report Post

Sir v, you're closer than you thought.

The posts piqued my interest, so I did a little digging. In
the OP's home county, there is a cooperative program
established by the schools, juvenile authorities, and the
courts.

It kicks in when a child has received a third out-of-school
suspension and is, thus, facing expulsion. Rather than
letting the little buggers run the streets unsupervised while
suspended, they are required to report to the program and
spend the days studying, doing community service, and taking
appropriate classes on anger management, life skills, etc.

If they fail to report on the first day of the suspension,
they will be picked up and held until they can go before the
judge and explain why they didn't report. It is the parents'
responsibility to get the child to the program.

Amazingly, many of the involved parents complain because its
such a "hardship" to deliver the child to the program and pick
him up at the end of the day.
