ADVOCATING FOR (true) JUVENILE JUSTICE in support of #familyprotection!!
This is the first of a series of articles relating my experiences in working with abused youth as a Juvenile Detention Office of 10 years and an adviser to youth and young adults during my 3 years at Job Corp. Names and locations will be changed to protect the innocent survivors of abuse. Unfortunately, too many of them are no longer around but I am certain their loving spirits will be with me every step of the way as their story needs to be told.
I must warn you, all of these stories are heartbreaking and are extremely hard for me to write, but with the help of my Higher Power..it will be written! I will be writing the first article tonight...starting with my first day as a Juvenile Detention Officer and witnessing the abuse of a female inmate by another detention officer.
It is my goal to become a full-time writer/ambassador for #familyprotection to create a worldwide awareness of how "the system" has failed these youth.
