the fruits of a productive friday morning...

youth aid panel ftw

i haven't been able to upload pictures for some reason so i've been shying away from this...

but i was at a meeting last night and it was just too cool to not talk about...

quakertown's newly formed youth aid panel met for the first time last night and heard cases.

sounds run of the mill? it isn't. the all volunteer panel listens to cases of juveniles who commit minor offenses and keep the kids free of the system and getting a blemish on their record.

i sat in on the panel's first case ever and all i could think was "wow."

the volunteers were obviously there because this is something they all feel strongly about. you could tell by the way they acted and the questions they asked.

the teen sounded truly sorry and now has to complete an assignment from the panel as a form of punishment.

it is obvious that there has been so much hard work that has gone into this; it shows.

full story in next week's paper, 07/17.
