Law enforcement has few tools beyond a punishment model that treats disturbed 12 & 14 year olds like criminals instead of damaged youth that need coping skills and mental health services.
The challenge for our project is to find and present information that demonstrate trends due to COVID both the social and financial costs of a broken child protection system dumping foster children into juvenile justice and then a criminal justice system that is reaching a 9 year recidivism rate of 90%.
The lack of institutional transparency, media attention and public awareness of the exponential growth in generational child abuse, school failure and resulting crime & prison growth are contributing a misinformed and confused public that has become unwilling to support people and programs to improve the lives of these children.
Through interviews with key sources and discovery of key media articles / Google searches for critical information regarding juvenile crime and punishment in the U.S. today.
Deliver reviewed and selected information through short form reporting or longer form writing as agreed upon.
Regular Zoom meetings and email.
