[QUOTE="klmno, post: 485163, member: 3699"] I'm with you skeeter- that's my beef with this state I'm in. It's a political thing to get votes and voters don't 'want their money going to the criminals' and sure don't want txes raised to pay for them. They are just NOW starting to catch a glimpse that it's costing them all a lot more trying to avoid dealing with it. But that's at the state committee level- the local jurisdictions and certainly, the juvie CSU, still thinks they can blame the parents, take their parental rights for all intents and purposes, and just use the parent to sign blank checks. But now they are seeing the families busted up, they are having to pay for the families who did that until they lost everything- home, job, etc, and now are living off taxpayers while the kid went to Department of Juvenile Justice anyway. And it's not always because the kid is a danger to society- it's because 'they doon't know what else to do- they have no options left'. It's knid of a situation where one should learn to do things 'right' (or address the issues adequately) to begin with or else you dig everyone in deeper. But- those people who made those choices got their votes and won their term in office so they don't care. [/QUOTE]
