Justice With Mercy
The Purpose of Juvenile Court

MANY Washingtonans are shocked and indignant at the
action of Judge Fay Bentley of the Juvenile Court in
fencing two school boys to the National Training
School after they had pleaded guilty to taking oyr1de
At first blush the treatment accorded the youths seems to
be unduly harsh and out Of keeping with the purposes for
which the Juvenile Court was established
Washington has assumed the purpose Of the Juvenile
Court tighten the rgors Of the law in cases involving
minors.
It has assumed that would be likely because
its makeup and rules temper justice with mercy than
would the adult courts dealing largely with serious cases.
Yet in the of these boys the report is that the
youngsters appeared in court without counsel pleaded guilty
and were sentenced within few minutes.
In this connection interesting study the hearings
the District appropriation bill when the following questions
were asked of Judge Bentley by Representative Otter:
Mr.. Otter: "Do you feel that Juvenile Court
should be cases developed more as result of SYM
PATHETIC UNDERSTANDING the part of the
judge rather than effort the part of the
cutting counsel to cOnUictiOn?"
Miss Bentley: ayes, exactly"
A little later the following took place:
Mr.. Otter: "Do you, lUithin the ProOlnce OF your
authority act defendants counsel in seeing that the
offender is protected?
Miss Bentley: "Certninly."~ -
The public is looking for the SYMPATHETIC UNDER
STANDING displayed in this case 80
It interesting too consider this in connection with
The many dangerous criminals who have been released upon
These boys it would seem least much
seaon those who have lengthy records of serious crimes
and being released every day before the expiration OF
their terms.
The institution which the boys sent order of
Judge Bentley known to be doing its utmost to reclaim the
youngsters who have been sent there from all over the country
after having the laws of various States
It has recently undergone reformation to the benefit Of
all concerned STILL it remains essentially place of punish
place to which boys would not be sent they had
not done wrong
it do the average boy-and these two to be
average boyany good to be sent to such an institution?
