Virginia measure would broaden juvenile court powers
A Virginia House committee approved a bill to expand juvenile court authority to terminate parental rights while limiting actions on status offenders. The bill would also allow courts to punish delinquent parents and neglectful guardians, and set strict safeguards before ending parental rights for youths 14 and older who object. State Welfare Director Lukhard supported the measure, citing adoption barriers under current law.
