Judges Say Juvenile Laws Too Harsh Yet Limited Options
Douglas County Judge Charles Rankin argues state juvenile laws squeeze youths more than adults. He notes adults post bond for misdemeanors while juveniles face detention or release to parents or foster homes, a system he calls often hopeless. He cites limited foster care, parental enforcement, occasional paddling, and eventual transfer to Boys or Girls Industrial Schools only for younger teens.
