Family court & the “Power of Ten” as related to Junveniles & Drugs; could it work.?
November 9th, 2009
My question mainly addresses and idea of
"The Power of Ten" as applied to …
Under aged Juveniles,
Felony Drug "Use" or Distribution,
& The family court system.
Would a court fine;
of the parent(s) or their juvenile children in their care; who is convicted of misdemeanor "USE" , "POSSESSION" and or "DISTRIBUTION" of illegal drugs, alcohol & tobacco
be a deterant using the idea of "The Power of Ten"?
1st offence 0.00
2nd offence ,000.00
3rd offence ,000.00
If the national court system adopted this would it work?
Would it be a good idea or bad idea? Your serious opinion please!

You’re making the assumption that parents who’s children are involved in the juvenile justice system are law abiding, pay their bills, and have a clue how to actually parent their children.
The truth is, 90% of the problem with 90% of the kids I work with every day is the parents. They either want to be friends with their children instead of parenting them, or they’re so strict their kids have to act crazy just to get out of the house! Also, many of the kids use/possess/sell drugs because their parents have put them to work. That’s the only life they know.
