If You Knew (what would you do?)

Mike Tikkanen · September 3, 2022 · 1 min read

If you knew that the vast majority of youth in Juvenile Justice came through Child Protective Services, would you;

Wonder if the majority of serious and violent crimes were committed by juveniles (they are).

  • Wonder if the majority of inmates in the Criminal justice system had come through the Juvenile Justice system (they are).
  • Consider the cost to taxpayers of 30-50 years of institutionalizing innocent children that have passed through Child Protective Services, Juvenile Justice and Criminal Justice (1M – 2Million plus cost of crime and burden on schools, and medical services).
  • Think about the cost to communities of the crime and violence in our neighborhoods caused by dysfunctional, at-risk youth that have passed through CPS?
  • Be grateful for the information you now have and the intention to better understand the issues of State Ward Children and support the people, programs and policies that make life livable for children in Child Protective Services?

    Eliminating the community and the volunteer CASA guardian ad Litem program is a bad idea.

    Less is not more in Child Protective Services.

    All Adults Are the Protectors of All Children.
