Christopher's Bill (The Juvenile Justice Reform Act )


Children across this nation as young as 10 years old are being waived up to adult court and being tried and sentenced as adults. By trying our children as adults, they are sentenced to 23 hours a day in isolated lockdown. They are not entitled to counseling, rehabilitation or education. Christopher's Bill puts into place protections for first time offenders 14 years and younger to recieve all the counseling, education and rehabilitation needed for children of this age. It also puts into place protections for children waiving their Miranda Rights (80% of these children have no idea what these rights are when they are waiving them). Please read Christopher's Bill and help support this new legislation for first time offenders 14 years and younger. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/429258617?ltl=1114901126 Janet Sisk / Founder www.juvenilejusticefoundation.com

One of the most crucial, yet prestigious, responsibilities of a delegate is to elect the president and vice-president of CASC. Throughout this fun-filled, powerful three day conference, delegates are exposed to the amazing organization that is CASC. By attending this conference, students are given the opportunity to begin practicing leadership at a state level.
