adopted, and then having suffered from the death of her adoptive father–Mary was subject to the physical abuse of her adoptive mother. The situation was reported by some neighbors to the
Department of Public Charities and Correction, forwarded to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (A.S.P.C.A.), and then handled by the New York State Supreme Court. Mary was successfully saved from further harm and eventually relocated and placed with her lawyer's family. Following this instance, the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, assertably the first child protective agency in the world, was founded in December 1874.

500:" From this perspective, the construction of youth and being young is morphing . . . " This kind of language has no place in a credible encyclopedia. "Construction," a word used throughout the article, has an obtrusively ideological ring to it. Moreover, many readers would not even understand its meaning. The purpose of a Wiki article is not to provide people with an opportunity to parade their familiarity with fad theories of "sociol construction." Please morph.

childhood and careful child-rearing. Their views highlighted the potential for a tabula rasa (blank slate) state of the juvenile, which was highly oppositional to prior beliefs that advised parents to raise their children through strict punishment and discipline, due to the concept of original sin. As a result, people began to view children as highly plastic and malleable, and the act of child-rearing received much more careful consideration from this time on.

526:"In all but four states (Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Mexico, and New York), anyone charged with committing a criminal act before his or her seventeenth or eighteenth birthday is initially processed as a juvenile defendant." I am quite confused with this. If the crime is serious like rape or murder, the juvenile will still be processed in court as a juvenile and not as an adult in these states?

receiving six life sentences, probably because being younger he wasn't as savvy about plea bargaining. Our criminal justice system operates like a game show where defendants are expected to wheel and deal and guess what's behind Door Number Three, and ignorance and inexperience are taken advantage of with sadistic glee. It's sick.
529:"The normal age of these defendants is under 18, but the age of majority changes based on the state or nation." I think this works since I heard that the age where offenders are tried as juveniles keep changing from 17, 18, to 20. It is not certain whether criminals at that age should be tried as a minor or an adult.

information about juvenile courts from around the world needs to be added to the entry. As a graduate student studying WRIT6002 Writing for the
Digital World at the University of Sydney, I have researched relevant laws regarding juvenile crime in China and added a subsection titled "Juvenile Courts in China."

The proper way to raise, handle, and prepare children for adult life has been a topic of inquiry–assertably–since Pre-Christian times, and possibly before then. During the Age of
Enlightenment in the 17th Century, philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Locke highlighted the importance of

The entry focuses on juvenile courts but only presents information about the juvenile court system in the United States. However, the establishment of juvenile courts varies from country to country due to legal, social, and cultural factors. To address the issue of lacking a global perspective, more

Besides the issues noted by others above, this article fails to address the other important purpose of a juvenile court: to supervise the removal of juveniles from households in which their parents are incapable of providing a functional parent-child relationship. Because juvenile delinquents often

The current juvenile court
Knowledge article introduces the entity and extrapolates on its affairs as if the main topic of concern is child offenders. While the handling of juvenile offenders and their crimes is the most common association made between the juvenile court and its affairs–and is thus

The juvenile court is most commonly associated with the practice of handling crimes committed by those of juvenile age. However, while the juvenile court has been assigned the duty of handling the crimes of such specific persons, juvenile courts also undertake the trial of people who commit crimes

As the treatment of children at home progressed from being a topic that was highly private to something that could be discussed between parents and other parents, eventually brought to light was the concept of child abuse, first officially addressed in the case of Mary Ellen McCormack. Orphaned,

Travion Blount, who was 15 when he tagged along with several adults on a robbery, in the course of which a victim was injured by one of the adults. The robbers were all caught and convicted. The adults were all out of prison within ten years, but the 15-year-old somehow ended up

Afterwards, during the progressive era where immigrants came in masses to the United States, there was a high frequency of wandering and homeless children–and most noticeably, child who were exhibiting "adult-like" criminal behaviors. These children caught the attention of lawmakers and social

My desire to advocate for the reconstruction of the current article derives from the fact that the first juvenile court was established in
Chicago in 1899, in taking on the task of handling child abuse cases. As such, I think that providing more information on

But not all juvenile offenders have limited sentences, right? Some would even have to stay in a prison without parole like Lionel Tate and John
Anthony Silva, who were 13 and 15 respectively when they committed first degree murder at year 2000.

most appealing to those wishing to learn about child offenders–I propose a reconstruction of the article, in light of the rise of the identification of child-involving crimes committed by adults, of which are often handled in juvenile courts.

Correct, but
Illinois, the pioneer in this field, puts both juvenile delinquency and abused/neglected/dependent children under the Juvenile Court Act. California and Washington also take the same approach too. I think it was in the

The section on children soldiers is not clear. There is hardly any sourcing & just linguistically, it needs serious rewriting. It is not clear from the current section if this is global or just relating to the SL case.
