Extractions: All Our Children Article What Youth Workers Say What Parents Say What Teens Say What Seminar Volunteers Say ... All Our Children Article (Peggy McLean is an Adoptions Caseworker in the Grays Harbor DCFS office) Are our teens disposable? Sometimes, when our teens engage in problem behaviors, our response is to drop them like a prickly cactus, and to try to get rid of the source of the discomfort and pain. I've known teens who display the astounding abilities to use their mouths like an Uzi, disappear into thin air, sabotage their education, and act out in a myriad of utterly frightening ways. I've had parents tell me they just can't allow their teen back into the family home or that they'll be giving their teen "to the state" if the teen's behavior doesn't improve! I've now discovered a program rightly called "GUTS" that may well be the antidote for teens who may be acting "prickly", but who are never disposable! I've worked in the Family Reconciliation Services Unit in a rural community of Washington for almost four years. I've filed more At-Risk Youth Petitions with the Juvenile Court than I care to acknowledge. Until now, the tools required to really affect change for these adolescents and their families have not been available in the isolated and impoverished community in which I live and work. And then I found GUTS. I was introduced to Glenn Goldberg, a lawyer, teacher, mediator and adolescent counselor who created and directs the GUTS program. I was told his immersion 4-day seminar was one of the most promising new interventions to improve the attitudes, behaviors, choices and results of teens. I wanted to know more, and quickly!

Extractions: Safe Exchange/Supervised Visitation Program Parenting Education Classes The problem of child abuse and neglect is more severe as social and economic trends force parents out of the home and create situations in which children may be left without appropriate supervision. By providing individual and group parenting education, the Center is not only able to impart the very basic information regarding child care and development, but also to discuss a variety of other areas critical to parental protection of children. At the same time, every effort is made within the time-frame to address each parent's specific areas of concern. Parents are frequently referred to the Exchange Club Center by the TN. and MS. Departments of Children's Services, Juvenile Court Systems, Criminal Court Systems, Memphis/Shelby County Children's Community Services Agency, local mental health and human service agencies, local school personnel and others for participation in 8 week parenting education classes. These classes are designed to impart very basic information regarding child care and development, home safety, nutrition, anger control, and a variety of other areas critical to parental protection of children in the home. Classes are held in the day time and at night to accommodate parents' schedules and the "Active Parenting" curriculum material is the basis of the curriculum used. An advanced parenting class (12 weeks) is also offered using the "Strengthening Multi-Ethnic Families and Communities" curriculum designed by Dr. Marilyn Steele.
Extractions: I make it sound deliberate, but it was really by chance that I entered the social work field. I was going to law school and my cousin was going to social work school. I would visit her and became interested in her textbooks, which I would read for fun. When I realized that there was a dual program in law and social work at the University of Connecticut, I decided to combine the two. Whenever you work with vulnerable populations, social work and law fit together very nicely. The combination is custom-made for advocacy. Norris: You grew up in the Storrs area, but your father was in the military. Did you move around a lot as a child? Commissioner: My father settled us in the Storrs area, actually Warrenville. My parents built a house there when I was very young, about six years old. My father had us comfortably settled there while he went on his tours of duty. But when he was assigned to Europe, I was eleven and my sister was fourteen, it was a perfect time to take kids of that age on a tour.
Extractions: To provide leadership for advancing the consistent, impartial, independent, and accessible administration of justice, the Judicial Council must be aware of the issues and concerns confronting the judiciary, as well as appropriate solutions and responses. The council carries out this mission primarily through the work of its advisory committees and task forces. The chair of the council may appoint advisory committees and task forces, comprising judges, court officials, attorneys, and members of the public, to advise the council in studying the condition of court business, improving judicial administration, and performing other council responsibilities. Advisory committees monitor areas of continuing significance to the justice system, whereas task forces handle particular projects or proposals. Both make recommendations to the council. ACCESS AND FAIRNESS Monitors issues related to access to the judicial system and fairness in the state courts and provides policy direction in these areas. The committee's five subcommittees address issues of racial and ethnic fairness, sexual orientation fairness, gender fairness, and access for persons with disabilities, as well as education and implementation. List of committee members ADMINISTRATIVE PRESIDING JUSTICES Improves appellate court justices' access to and participation in the Judicial Council decision-making process; reviews rules, forms, studies, and recommendations to the council related to appellate court administration; identifies issues of concern to the courts, including legislative issues, that might be addressed by the council or its advisory committees or task forces; and strengthens communication between the council and the appellate courts.

Extractions: Youth Court is a program in which juvenile offenders are questioned, defended and sentenced by their peers. Currently, there are 852 youth courts in place across the United States with 200 courts in development. Youth Courts are the fastest growing crime intervention programs in the nation. They offer ways to engage the community in a partnership with the juvenile justice system to respond to juvenile crimes by increasing the awareness of delinquency issues on a local level and by mobilizing community members and youth to take an active role in addressing the problem. In most youth courts, young offenders are referred for sentencing, rather than for a decision of guilt or innocence. Sentences commonly include community service (1-200 hours), jury duty (up to 12 times), restitution, and apologies. Additional sentencing options include counseling, educational workshops on substance abuse or safe driving, essay writing, victim-awareness classes, curfew, drug testing, school attendance, and peer discussion groups. For the most part, Youth Courts only accept first-time offenders who have committed relatively minor offenses. Rather than handing down harsh juvenile punishment, Youth Courts offer an appropriate level of guidance and correction. Youth Courts share an important goal with law-related education, including a strong potential to improve the citizenship skills of young people.

Extractions: Site Directory Department of Youth, Families and Community Services Kentucky's Teen Court Program Philosophy of Teen Court Teen Court is based upon the premise that most young people want to do what is right when making decisions. Even those who may make the wrong choice due to external factors such as peer pressure are often gratified to learn that they have an opportunity to make amends. What better way to impress upon a young offender than to be judged by a jury of his/her peers? Peer pressure in this court setting will have a more immediate and meaningful effect upon the individual than the more traditional juvenile justice approach. The message given by a peer jury will be long remembered by those seeking to fit within a group and be accepted. Kentucky has 29 courts involving over 2500 students from 31 of the 120 counties of the Commonwealth. Teen Court provides first time minor juvenile offenders an opportunity to participate in a less formal court process- one that is controlled by their peers. Only the judge in Teen Court is an adult. Trained students, ages 13-17, serve as attorneys, jurors, bailiff, and clerk. These participants: Receive hands-on knowledge of the justice system

NIC will support IPAS by building a central Official Records index in collaboration with the Clerks of the Circuit and County Court in Florida. To ensure IPAS delivers user-friendly technology to Florida's constituents, NIC will also develop an integrated Web presence that features index searches, an eCommerce engine to support document ordering, statewide traffic citation and child support payments, a child support case inquiry system, and links to existing Clerk websites. NIC will work in cooperation with alliance partner Deloitte Consulting to enhance the program development methodology and drive adoption for IPAS across the State of Florida.
