Parents and children waiting to enter Cobb Juvenile Court are now greeted with educational videos. Cobb Juvenile Court Judge James Morris placed a television monitor in his waiting room after noticing stacks of unused educational videos on his shelves. I knew there was a better way to get the message out, Morris said. The court waiting room provides a great audience, according to Morris, who said, It s a great way to get your target audience. Parents and their children are just sitting there.
Kids are curious.
Otherwise it doesn t reach kids, it reaches the Kiwanis Club. Morris produced the video display unit help from the Georgia Supreme Court Child Placement Project. The video display unit lists the programs and allows viewers to easily select a video. It is a prototype, Morris said, and is more expensive than potential reproductions. He did not know what the machine cost to make.
