OUR JUVENILE
PROBLEM
BY WILLIAM C. LONG

Judge of King Co. Juvenile Court
The Maish case is a dramatic
incident, The Emberg murder was
also dramatic. The recurring COM
motion at the State Training
School arouses periodic interest.
But apparently there is no
drama in the basic underlying ST.
tuation in thi estate that make
all. these dramatic incidents pos
sible.
Before his most recent upsurge
of public concern follows the
usual course and fades into the
limbo of forgotten things, is 1t
not fitting that we reexamine and
face some ugly but basic facts?
In the school rooms of this
state there are developing psyc-
hopathic and unconforming per-
sonalities that later on will clut-
ter up our juvenile courts, popul-
ate our penitentiaries, or provide
victims for our gallows. Before
they are finally isolated or dis
posed of there will be thefts, rob-
berries, arson or innocent victims
of murder.
BINDER our present setup,
there is no effective procedure for
early Identification of these cases.
3-There is no facility for dag
nosis on a statewide basis.
4-There are no adequate res
ident treatment facilities worthy
of the name.
5-There are only limited facil-
tiles for research into basic causes
or for overall planning of treat
ment programs.
6-In many of our counties,
children are still being confined
in jails.
Tin many counties, there are
no trained or competent probation
officers to implement the juvenile
courts.
8-Instead of developing forest
camps as other states are success
fully operating, we continue to
shovel children into Chehalis and
Monroe children who never
should have been sent to such
places.
9-We have schools for training
BARRIERS and beauticians. We have
set up examining boards to test
and fix the qualifications for
those who treat out cats and dogs
or pare our corns. But we have
not established standards of per-
sonnet or provide adequate ed
ucation facilities to train probation
or detention officers, or those who
staff even the meager treatment
institution now in use.
10-Our juvenile judges in the
SO separate counties pursue their
own individual and uncoordinated
ways. The quality of treatment
that any individual child in any
particular county may receive de-
ponds largerly upon the whim of
the individual judge or the fin
aneial condition of that county.
1.-THE treatment that child
receives in a state institution de-
ponds to large degree upon who
may have been appointed as a
result of the last election.
12-Our juvenile court code is as
antiquated as the first jalopy.
13-Prior to the last legislative
session, the representatives of over
20 statewide organizations devel-
oped the youth Protection Act"
known as House Bill 1876. 1t was
start in the right direction. But
it was blasted to defeat by lack
of public understanding.
These are just few of the ugly
basic facts And until these facts
are squarely faced and grappled
with by the combined leadership
of this state in the field of child
responsibility, we will simply con-
tinue to be aroused when the
next dramatic incident occurs.
