Well at least this quiz thinks I got it right:

You Should Get a JD (Juris Doctor)

You're logical, driven, and ruthless.You'd make a mighty fine lawyer.

What Advanced Degree Should You Get?

A new kind of juvenile crime.

I've got to give them credit for ingenuity, at least. I mean, it's not your typical juvenile offense. And I suspect that the 44 year old and the 19 year old had some influence that caused the 14 year old to engage in such activity.

Mandatory learning disability testing for Juvenile Detention Center admittees.

Thoughts?

My take...

This is key...Zahn will provide parents and the Cleveland school district with the psychologists' findings.

The same schools that don't have enough money to pay staff or time to address all of the many issues that their students face. So the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court is going to diagnose (aka label) and then cut them loose into the care of the school? I'm sorry, but this doesn't sound like that great of a plan.

And parental responsibility? You don't even want to go there with a lot of these parents. I worked in abuse, neglect, dependency cases for three years...prental responsibility is a pipe dream.

Again, the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court shows that it doesn't fully comprehend the situation these children face every day. And again, in an effort to get good press, they're looking like they're doing something...without really doing much.

As someone who spent the better part of the past four months in a cemetery, I find some good justice in this punishment.

I hope they learn something.

Even when I take time off from blogging, this crap is still going on.

My question is this...is protection really a valid reason for locking your children up in cages?!?!? Do these people think that makes it better?!?!

And shame on Children and Family Services and the Sheriff's Department for failing to investigate.

I'm appalled.
