The following is from Gregory Kane's article this morning:
"The building from which Young issued this ruling was paid for with your tax dollars. Your tax dollars pay the salary of everyone who works in the building. You are the ones who pony up every tax dollar Maryland lawmakers hose you for to fund what's laughingly called the juvenile justice system in this state.
"From where I sit, that makes you entitled to know everything that goes on in a juvenile court hearing. Yes, and that includes the names of the juvenile offenders. You're entitled to know everything from their names to when a light bulb breaks to when a toilet backs up."
I hesitate to use the word "demand," but would strongly like to see the Maryland Legislature do a top-to-bottom review of the MD juvenile justice system, making changes, such that it is more open and transparent to the people who are victims of the crimes committed by these children. In fact, recent events may lead one to conclude that we may be entering a social era where "juvenile justice" is obsolete.
