North Jonesboro Hears
Panel On Delinquency
The North Jonesboro Elementary School P.T.A. met
January 8, 1963 in the school auditorium with Mrs. Fred
Lee, President, presiding.
A panel made up of Judge Harold Banke, Superior
Court, Judge Edwin Kemp, Juvenile Court, Mr. Tommy
Brooks, Adult Probation Officer
and Mr Harold Smith, Chief of
Police, discussed the problems of
juvenile delinquency in Clayton'
County and elsewhere. Mrs. j
Bobby Gibbs, Program Chair
man, served as moderator.
Some of the highlights of the
discussions were:
1. In the state of Georgia chil
dren fourteen years of age or.
over are considered adults and
responsible for any criminal act
which they might commit. When ’
arrested they are bound over to ■
Superior Court. However, in'
Clayton County, Judge Kemp,:
Juvenile Court, and Judge Banke,•
Superior Court, have an under- j
standing that all children up to j
seventeen years of age shall be ■
bound over to Juvenile Court,
with the hopes of rehabilitation. J
If this method fails and the child
is over fourteen, he or she, is
then sent to Superior Court.
2. Children through age nine
teen who are bound over to
Superior Court and sentenced
are sent to Alto, Young Offend-1
ers Prison. Over this age they i
are sent to the State Penal'
Systems.
3. In the state of Georgia we
have no ‘‘Youth Offender Law”
which means that any child over
fourteen years of age who is
sentenced will have a permanent
police record unless the matter
is adjusted and a solution found
in the Juvenile Court.
4. It was brought out that,
every means possible is taken to
help or rehabilitate a child be- j
fore he Is sentenced. This, how
ever, requires the full co-opera
tion of the parents and the
courts.
5. Any child under the age of
fourteen is sent home to be tried
regardless of where he or she
is arrested.
Os greatest interest to each of
us was the discussion on the pre- j
vention of juvenile delinquency. '
Three points were brought out !

numerous times in the answer
,to different problems. These
were:
1. Know wnere your child is
going.
2. Know who your child is
। with.
3. Know when your child will
be home.
It was also brought out that
children must, be taught in the
home to respect their parents
and all persons in authority.
Children need to keep busy.
They need chores at home to
teach them responsibility as
well as supervised outside rec
reational activities.
One point that was made was
that almost without exception
children brought into Juvenile
Court either have their own car
or run around with someone who
does.
Children who are good stu
dents in school and those who |
attend Sunday School and
Church regularly are seldom, if
ever, our juvenile deliquents.
Children giving the greatest
amount of trouble range between
the ages of thirteen and seven
teen. They generally come from
either broken homes or the "Too
Much” or “Too Little” group as
Judge Kemp explains it. They
are children who have either
been given everything and are
“out for kicks” or they are chil
dren who have had little or
nothing and cannot understand
why they should not have more.
Judge Kemp brought to our
I attention the legislation that is
to go before the next session of
। the Georgia General Assembly
; for the establishment of the
' “Youth Council”. The purpose of
' this legislation is to bring all
branches of juvenile problems
under one heading. In this way
: t hey feel that they can better i
, equip the state with facilities to
’ care for our young people who
* get into trouble with the law.
He also ask that we give deep
' thought on the necessity for a
Juvenile Home in Clayton Coun
| ty, which will be voted on some-
I time in March. This will provide
’ facilities so that our neglected
and troubled children will not
have to be housed in the jail
and will provide for their ex
amination, both medical and
psychiatric, in an effort to find
a permanent solution to their
i problem.
Judge Kemp thanked Judge
Banke of the Superior Court and
the P.T.A. groups for their co
’ operation and help.
The attendance banner was
awarded to Mrs. Hughes’ Second
। Grade.
Refreshments were served by
: Mrs. Phil Chamberlain and Mrs.
