More About Juveniles Tuesday night, while most of the citizens of Adams county wisely remained at home, a group, believed by the authorities to be young men and probably juveniles within the meaning of the present statute, attempted three breaking in the south part of the county. Adams county is becoming, and in fact is, an “easy mark” for offenders. One reason: few are convicted, even after an arrest is made. Trials, when they are held, drag out interminably. After an arrest, no more is even heard of juvenile cases. This isn’t fair to the people of Adams county. The purpose of law enforcement and judicial courts is not to employ the unemployed, it is to serve society. Those who cannot abide by the rules imposed by lawmakers through Democratic processes are weeded out by the law, convicted in the courts, and sent away to be reformed by penal institutions and to warn would-be offenders that crimes against society will not be tolerated. Again, reform is urgently needed in our statutes, in our courts, in our school administration, in our youth groups, in our own thinking and actions, and in that *of the parents of the area. This is a total problem. It is not a because of one group—the courts, the parents, the schools, etc.—it is the fault of all of us for pointing fingers at others, and not taking the little bit of action ourselves that would mean solving the problem if all of us acted together to do it. First, let’s inform our legislators, Burl Johnson and Von Eichhorn that we want effective ( laws; then let’s make it clear to the court that we want the laws enforced, and no nonsense, and we want to be inform*ed of at least the statistical handling of cases, if not the names of offenders; let’s let our schools know that we expect discipline to be strict and fair, without partiality, and with full information sent to parents about every offense against discipline; let’s make sure that the places our young people meet maintain the standards which we expect from young adults; and lastly, let’s see the parents show some interest in their children —not just give them mpney so they can spend their time at school, before TV, at the youth center, clubs, and driving around. Security, loVe and understanding are things we can all give our children—if it takes* a little more time, it is worth it.
