The original juvenile courts were almost entirely focused on rehabilitation and treatment, not punishment.
Despite the early juvenile court mandate to involve the community, many youth authorities -- including in the Portland metro area -- actively shun those who mentor kids.
Curfew laws and other such ordinances boil down to the fact that parents are not being held accountable for neglecting their children.
Tickets to the March 13 event are available at
Promoters will receive $30 for every 10 tickets sold.
For every 30 tickets sold, in addition to the $90 total commission, promoters will receive one complimentary ticket to attend the event.
This endeavor is not about money for Mr. House and should not be the primary concern for a prospective promoter. Instead, the mission of reforming juvenile justice for those who have no voice -- kids who have had troubled backgrounds and also children who may become victims of juvenile crime if it is not prevented and treated better than now. In addition, we must dispel the idea that juvenile justice issues apply only to those who are closely connected to juvenile delinquents or their victims. As juvenile justice goes, so go the prospects of all of society.
