Programs
Jails and detention centers are places that mix juveniles
and adults together who are both non-adjudicated and/or awaiting trial.
Schall v. Martin (1984) allows preventive detention under some circumstances.
Many youth placed in this status are only guilty of minor violations.
They are troubled youth or status offenders MORE...
Media Influence
Popular explanations of juvenile crime
often rest on ideas about the corrupting influence of television, movies,
music videos, video games, rap/hip hop music, or the latest scapegoat
du jour, computer games like Doom or Quake. The fact is that
TV is much more pervasive, and has become the de facto babysitter
in many homes MORE...
Parental
Accountability Laws
Also called Parental Duty Laws, a number of states
have experimented with subjecting the parents of children to arrest.
Florida, for example, imposes a 5-year sentence on parents of children
who find and use guns left around the house... MORE
Waivers of Jurisdiction
Waivers of jurisdiction transfer a case from juvenile
to adult court. The effect is to deny some offenders the rights and
protections that have evolved in juvenile law. All states provide for
some type of waiver mechanism, and most set a lower age limit (13 and
14 in a handful of states MORE...
Social Morality
It has become prevalent, especially among the slacker
generations, GenX and Gen13, to join the old WWII generation in self-righteous,
totally gratuitous Sixties-bashing, as if all our social problems, especially
our declining social morality, started with the free-for-all, "any thing
goes" hippie movement of the 1960s MORE...
JUVENILE CORRECTIONS
The total number of juveniles in custody for the
U.S. is about 42,000. Most of these youth are held in semisecure facilities
(such as youth centers or training schools) designed to look less like
prisons and more like high schools MORE... |
Troubled Teens 4 Jesus - Services
(see option 1, 2 or 3 below)
I am an experienced Educational
Consultant that has the ability and knowledge to work with struggling
adolescents and their families.
I do a complete family evaluation
and gather important information to help determine appropriate placement
for your son or daughter.
I believe that it takes the ability
to look “outside the box” for solutions and help. Every child
and family member is unique in their talents, interests, and struggles.
Every day there are triumphs, failures, and learning experiences.
When one child is struggling, the
whole family unit is affected. Emotions also have a tendency to cloud
judgment during the times of crisis. That is why it is important to understand
that the healing process is a journey that will include all of the family.
Option
# 1 Inclusive Educational Consulting Services. This is normally a 10-14
day process.
The parent downloads the application
and evaluation packet, fills them out completely and faxes the documents
to the “Restoring Troubled Teens” office. The Restoring Troubled
Teen educational consultant reviews the packet and then conducts a comprehensive
child and family intake interview. This service may include a review of
hospital discharge records (when applicable), a review of Diagnostic Testing
(when applicable), and a review of IEP (when applicable), all with the
intent of obtaining pertinent background information that will help to
determine the best program or school program for your child.
The Restoring Troubled Teen consultant
then researches many prospective schools or programs to inquire about
availability, cost, and other pertinent enrollment information. During
the research phase the Educational Consultant whittles down the list of
prospective schools to three possible “exact” matches. An
"exact” match is a term that describes the best program or
school for the child. This is determined through a comprehensive investigation
of both the child and the prospective schools.
Includes assistance with West ShieldAdolescent
Services, if needed.
Once the child is placed we stay in touch
with the parent and the school for the first 30 days to ensure success
and compatibility .
OPTION # 2 CRISIS and IMMEDIATE
ASSISTANCE AND ENROLLMENT

in a program immediately (72 hours).

and family intake, reviews hospital discharge records (when applicable),
reviews Diagnostic Testing (when applicable), reviews IEP (when applicable),

The Environment
Unless we are willing to believe
that testosterone (a male stimulation-seeking hormone) causes crime, the
only feasible explanations left are environmental ones. The heredity-environment
debate in explaining juvenile crime is shaped by divided opinions about
what factors are really important: genetic tendencies MORE...
Approaches to the problem
generally fall into two camps: the public health solution, and the law
enforcement solution. Advocates of the public health approach tend to
see juveniles today as victims of an anti-youth culture. The problem
is not just parents failing children, but a whole attitude among adult
society that is increasingly hostile, angry, and punishing toward youth.
It's also not just poverty

JUVENILE CORRECTIONS
The total number of juveniles
in custody for the U.S. is about 42,000. Most of these youth are held
in semisecure facilities (such as youth centers or training schools) designed
to look less like prisons and more like high schools. Each state, however,
has at least one maximum security facility for juveniles. MORE...
Family Factors
One of the most reliable indicators
of juvenile crime is the proportion of fatherless children. The primary
role of fathers in our society is to provide economic stability, act as
role models, and alleviate the stress of mothers. Marriage has historically
been the great civilizer of male populations, channeling predatory instincts
into provider/protector impulses. Economically, marriage has MORE...
