A wakeup call for the parents of juveniles and loved ones of young adults!

There is a chronic problem in America today that involves both juvenile and young adult criminal offenders, which is caused by our correctional facilities not focusing enough time and energy on truly rehabilitating those that end up being sentenced to serving time in a correctional facility regardless of the location. By most of our correctional facilities treating inmates whether juvenile or young adult offenders as being a “waste of time,” instead of truly spending the time and money needed to completely rehabilitate these young inmates between 13-24 years of age by educating, counseling, and also by spiritually healing both juvenile and young adult criminal offenders while at the same time advising them using biblical principles in order to help prevent them from becoming a repeat-offender. It is of the utmost importance that our nation’s Juvenile and Young Adult Justice System to react with a sense of urgency towards the law-violating behaviors of juveniles and young adults in such a manner that helps in the following ways: (1) to protect our communities; (2) to protect the lives of law abiding citizens; (3) to keep property values from declining for those individuals whom have been making payments on their homes for the past 10-15 years or more while at the same time making improvements to increase the values of their homes; (4) to create a system that holds juvenile and young adult criminal-offenders accountable; and (5) by also creating comprehensive government funded programs that enhance the chances of these “juvenile and young adult criminal-offenders,” to become either college graduates, productive citizens, responsible adults, community leaders, spiritual leaders, and also either Local, State, or Federal government law-makers. The justice system in order to be able to prevent juveniles from becoming criminal-offenders are responsible for intervening in the lives of juveniles that are either being neglected, abused, living in conditions that are considered to be unsafe, and/or do not meet the standards created by The Department of Children and Families that designates the qualifications that must be met in order to be able to be considered a nurturing environment. Although, we have the following institutions: (1) the Juvenile and Adult Justice System’s; (2) law enforcement; (3) correctional facilities; (4) policymakers; and (5) Spiritual Leaders, regardless, parents must remember first and foremost that it is their responsibility to raise their children to the best of their ability. It may be a bitter pill to swallow for parents to be told how to raise their children, however, it is the parents responsibility to teach their children what is right or wrong, how to have the proper morals and values, what it means to have a good work ethic, and to think about the consequences of their actions before they perform a particular action instead of after they have ended up being incarcerated. Parents also need to not only show their children affection, attention, plus quite possibly the most important thing that parents must do is to show their juvenile that they genuinely are considered about their well-being plus also giving them positive reinforcement that they are able to become whatever they want to become in life as long as they put forward the effort and also have a good work ethic. So, that their children will not turn to the streets in order to find the love that they have not received from their parents. By merely finding what I like to refer to as a “pseudo-love” from those “gangs,” and “drug dealers” that will tell your son or daughter that they are “down for life”; however, from my own personal experience when I became paralyzed from the neck down and could no longer run the streets, get high, drink alcohol, and mess with the young ladies like I was able to prior to my injury I became an inconvenience which caused my “so-called friends” to use one of these two excuses, which were that they no longer knew how to talk to me in a wheelchair or that they could not stand to look me as being a handicapped individual, since they had memories of what I was like prior to my injury causing me to be forgotten about. Parents it is your responsibility to explain to your juvenile that they must understand that those individuals whom they feel are the only people that truly understand their problems or the only people who truly “love them” that, regardless, of whether they are caught committing a crime or have a tragedy like mine by becoming paralyzed due to being shot in the neck if they were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time they will be forgotten before either the Judge’s gavel hits the wood after handing down their sentence or are given the news that either your her son or daughter will never be able to move anything except for slightly shrugging their shoulders or turning their headschool ofS
