Small children in the primary grades need 10-12 hours of sleep and failing to get it can easily be noticed on their grade level. As the children get older, however, the effects are harder to notice particularly in high school teenagers. The effects are still there, however, and they can lead to many problems. Often times schools are then blamed for the children's lack of learning when in reality it's the parent's fault. There are other factors that parents are responsible for. Do they love and care for their children and show the emotions in a way the children can understand. Do they yell and get after them the night before school day or in the morning on the way to school. Do parents argue in front of children. Do they blame the children for the parent's problems. Do they teach the children discipline and respect, not only for the school system, but society in general. Do they give the children the same respect they demand for themselves. No, parents aren't entirely to blame for students that fail to do well or that get into trouble. They are, however, part of the problem as is the school system, and poorly operated judicial court systems. No one individual or system need point the finger of blame on anyone else without first looking into their own house.

Opinion -Teen Court Who gets recommended for teen court? Jun 30, 2001 A Prompt Reply! Jul 12, 2001 top my word! Who gets recommended for teen court? June 30, 2001 Debbie Dye Vice Pres., FL Association of Teen Courts, Inc. P. O. Box 48927 Sarasota, FL 34230 941/955-TEEN or 941/951-4278 A few months ago, I heard about TEEN COURT. I recently read the description on the DJJ website. This was never offered to my son,  although it appears he should have been considered for this over a year ago. His original charge in March 2000 (at age 15) was battery; then truancy then he dropped out of school at age 16 (honors student!) without parental consent or signature; then marijuana possession. We have been swimming in the slime of the system for over a year now. My frustration, as well as being enlightened by the frustration of many other parents, is what led me to start a website: www.justice4kids.org . My goal is to help guide other parents through the tangled web of juvenile "justice"; to figure out resources that actually work, not just resources that "exist". Who gets recommended for teen court? What is the referral process? The [Teen Court] website states: Referrals come from various sources, depending on the individual Teen Court program. They can include:

AN OVERVIEW OF THE COURT COMPONENT IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE No! No! Sentence first verdict afterwards (Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland At a basic level, courts are places where people bring disputes to be settled by law. In order for court systems to have legitimacy, they must responsibly exercise their governmental powers and obligations, for which there are many: the seizure of property and persons; the determination of legal family status; enforcement of economic obligations; protection of the average person from arbitrary governmental interference; and putting a non-bureaucratic face on justice. Among the population, courts must have unquestioned, widespread support, and to accomplish this, courts must be fair and impartial, granting each person equal access to an equal chance of presenting their case with an equal chance of success. Courts should be places of awe and majesty, resulting in at least the appearance of justice (Rubin 1976). Whether or not justice is actually done usually depends upon who wins and who loses. Courts may be primary examples of justice as a sporting event or morality play, but they are also places where you need professionals. Every year in the U.S., at least 30,000 new binding decisions are made in the court systems, and this in addition to more than 18,000,000 published decisions make up the body of

It does not necessarily guarantee a better entry job, however, the better the informal education , the higher you may go within a particular field. Of great importance today is job-related education. Teens that do not know how to properly apply for positions, fill out job applications, and conduct themselves properly during a job interview can still lose positions to others less qualified. A job-related education can be a great deterrent to juvenile crime, as the old saying goes, "idle hands...". It is extremely important that job-related education programs be provided in school settings or in special programs provided to juvenile offenders. Teen Court programs that make use of a job-related education program will find that the teenagers in question will have a better opportunity to turn their lives around.

Over one half of the reported arrests, 51.5% or about 7891 of them, were of teenagers 19 years of age and under. Nearly 89% were done by school age students 18 and under. Teenagers were responsible for a motor vehicle theft once every 3 1/2 minutes. The 15-18 age group stole more vehicles than any other age group.

A Historical Perspective The research, development, and implementation of teen courts in Florida th judicial circuit judge, and Fay P. Rice, Deputy Court Administrator, 12 th The format for Teen Court development was based on several concerns and observations: Most juvenile court systems are in need of creative ideas to deal with juvenile crime problems. Minor crimes are handled in a lackadaisical manner and often are not filed on by the "system" because of overcrowded juvenile court systems. This sends the message to delinquent juveniles that they will receive no consequences for their actions. Teens are interested in participating in their own court system and wish to become active participants in their community rather than passive recipients of services. There is a critical need in all communities for productive activities for youth. Law enforcement officers need an expedient way to resolve minor delinquency charges. First time offenders are generally responsive to positive peer pressure. The Junior League of Sarasota, Inc. conducted the initial research and development.

Teen Court ILLINOIS PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS PROGRAM AREA(S) Innovative or non-traditional approach Youth Programs High media visibility Alcohol and other Drugs TYPE OF JURISDICTION Multicounty TARGETED POPULATION(S) JURISDICTION SIZE Youth PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION Two Illinois counties, Pike and Adams, have experienced a steady increase in juvenile crimes during the past decade, with a 23 percent jump in the number of court cases from 1993 to 1995. Circuit courts and probation departments in both counties reported a backlog of cases in 1995. Many of these were repeat offenders, with a high percentage of cases of underage driving, impaired driving and other alcohol-related violations. Circuit court officials recognized a need for alternative programs for juvenile offenders that were educational and could serve as a guide to development within the family and the community. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES In an effort to provide an alternative program for juvenile offenders aged 10 to 18, Illinois' Two Rivers Regional Council of Public Officials established Teen Court in 1996. The goal of Teen Court was to direct cases away from the juvenile courts and to provide an alternative approach to litigating traffic violations such as impaired driving, speeding and seat belt nonuse. The Teen Court program focused on prevention of offenses rather than simply punishing them. Program objectives included: Providing an opportunity for youth to acknowledge responsibility for their actions, and suggest possible alternative behaviors

MINOR AND JUVENILE CASES There are two classifications for young people charged with offenses in Justice of the Peace Court. A Minor is a young person under the age of 21. A Juvenile is a person under the age of 18. For more information, click on the type of offense you are interested in: Alcohol Violations Truancy Tobacco Violations Traffic Violations ... Shoplifting Violations Alcohol Violations The most common violations for alcohol offenses in Justice of the Peace Court are Possession and Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor. Other offenses include Public Intoxication and Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol by a Minor. It is important to note that the Texas Legislature has determined it to be a crime while having any detectable amount of alcohol in his/her system, when driving a motor vehicle. It is different for adults. The first step for an alleged alcohol violator is to enter a plea on the charge. Either a juvenile or a minor can be charged with these offenses. There are three ways you can plead: Not Guilty- You have to absolute right to a trial by Judge or jury. If you choose to go to trial, you will need to post an appearance bond. An appearance bond simply means you are putting up collateral (usually cash) to guarantee your appearance in Court. Once you show up for your trial, the bond is immediately returned to you.

When his family was robbed at gunpoint, Joe knew he had to take action so it would never happen again. Joe decided he needed a gun - not a real gun, but a pellet gun designed to look like a .357 Magnum. But his nickels and dimes did not add up to enough cash. Joe decided to take advantage of a five-finger discount. On a searing Texas summer night, he went to a local shopping mall. Joe left his friends, found the gun in a discount store, and stole it. Armed with his pellet gun and a new sense of security, he walked past the security he walked past the security alarm system and was apprehended immediately. Joe pleaded guilty to shoplifitng, with his mother's consent. But instead of wading though the mire of paperwork and court appearances common to the nation's juvenile justice systems, Joe opted for Odessa, Texas' Teen Court. This program's philosophy is that an adolescent who breaks the law will not be a repeat offender if a jury of his peers - other teenagers instead of adults - decides the punishment to fit the crime. The jury made up of teens does not decide innocence or guilt; it only metes the sentence for the offender.

Gramling, Jr. Branch Three 1986 - Present Message from the Presiding Judge The Year 2002 found the Milwaukee Municipal Court at the top of the recent roller coaster of annual case filings. New cases filed exceeded 168,000, making it the third highest year in the history of the court. Some of the case totals reflected what is occurring in the larger community. For example, the number of first offense drunk driving cases resumed what has been a stunning seven-year decline after a slight increase in 2001. From 1,104 new cases in 1996, the number has shrunk year-by-year to a total of 492 in 2002. There certainly are many factors contributing to this decline and much credit to be distributed. Headed in the other direction are parking cases. The City's new emphasis on parking enforcement resulted in a doubling of cases in which citizens sought to challenge tickets or work out a plan to pay them off. The court worked closely with the City Attorney's office and the Dept. of Public Works to set up a new system to manage the huge increase which resulted in the hiring of one of our adminsitrative staff, Carmen Falson, to serve as parking Citation Review Manager.

The Nation's Court System Divorce Courts With women now sharing or assuming the role of provider, the nation had to come up with new laws describing rifts in the family structure. First came new rules for divorce courts. The rules assumed that men were always in the wrong. If a divorce was granted, men were thrown out of their homes but retained all of the financial responsibilities incurred during the marriage. In cases of charged abuse, the system did not question who committed the abuse. It was generally accepted that the man was the culprit. In some states, when questions of abuse arise, the man is automatically jailed. When the woman is actually the abuser, men because of their fear of embarrassment, will not admit that they were the victims. Female Talk Show Hosts Female talk show hosts are one of the biggest embarrassments to American society. Without intimate knowledge of the people on their stages, these people will make recommendations to the guests. In general, they will suggest that the man is not good for the person and recommend that they be removed from the women's lives. The ole "Kick em to the curb" suggestion. What is so bothersome about these people are the state of the hosts lives. If there is one of them out there who has only been married to one man, trusts in their relationship, and lives a monogamist life themselves, drop me a note!
