Juvenile Offenders Double In Recent Years In Taos
Taos County Juvenile Probation Office reports a sharp rise in referrals and cases, with 28 juvenile delinquency referrals from local schools since January and the number doubling from two years ago. Teachers and police cite gang activity and youth violence as rising concerns amid an influx of ninth and tenth graders. Parents often deny involvement after incidents, complicating intervention as the JPO, now under the state Children, Youth and Families Division, handles probation, parole and juvenile institutions.
