Law to Rescue Children Sets New Juvenile Standards
The annual Children’s Court report notes a Sept 1 effective law window. Juvenile delinquents under 16 are not criminally charged but deemed delinquent, with reformatories and charitable institutions used instead of prisons. Probation has saved thousands of lives and millions in future state costs. The court credits the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children for crucial aid and cites 150 boys placed in summer camps last year.
