Is there fairness in our Juvinille Justise System?
Are all court cases treated with the same equallity
no matter the age, gender, race, or economic background?
Is it true that some cases are more political driven rather than others?
Is it right for Court Officers (District Attorneys, Court Judges)
to lie in our courts to elevate themselves for political reasons?
Did you know that there are more children being locked up
than there are adults in Curittuck & Dare County, about 40% more?
Are our children actually getting an honest and fair judgement according to
their crime, not judicial strong arm tactics?
These are questions I haven't thought of until resently.
There comes a time when all of us have to deal with the court
system, very nerve-taking and apprehensive experience especially
when children are involved.
What gives a Juvinille Probate Court Councelor the right to
lie in a court room just to keep their conviction rating high in numbers.
I can't call any names due to forum policies.
My 12 Year old son got into some trouble which put him in The Winfall
Detention Center. When he was sentensed he was given 6-9 years
of his life in lockup. Now there are adults here that have commited
worst crimes than my son and are released within 6 months with
repeated crimes on their records.
This was the first time my 12 year old son has ever been in trouble
with the law. Can somebody PLEASE tell me what is wrong with this case.
I will be posting again soon with some other issues that accured during
Court Proceedings.

Unfairness.
Oh my, that is a stiff sentence. In Florida it is very difficult for a juvenile to be sentenced to detention at all for a first offense, let alone for such a long time. May I ask what he was convicted of?
I am not a liberty to say what crime my son commited.
It's for my son's protection. However there are adults that only
get 6 months and released for the same crime my son commited.
Some even have repeated convictions of the same crime.
The Court Counselor has a high juvinille conviction rate.
She is up for a promotion in the courts for a higher position soon.
What makes her any better than my son if she has to lie in court
to get the conviction in order to keep her high conviction rate. As far as I'm concern she is in contempt of court.
Does she get charged? NO! She also is trying to get the court to order me to pay for all of my son's doctor bills, perscriptions and expenses till he is 18.
No parent has ever had to do this in the history of North Carolina.
More later.

It's hard to give you any sympathy or advice when it is all spoken in generalities and biased opinions with no real details.
It's like me saying "please help me, I got into trouble and got convicted because the prosecutor lied but I cant tell you anything about what I did to protect my identity but I'll give you some comparisons but will not include any details for you to see if they are true comparisons or not because I am not at liberty to give you details..."

Yes, you are right. The question is asked, "Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this case?" But can't tell us what the case is.
And as for having to pay your child's medical bills, if he is a minor, well, yeah.
You sound very troubled and need someone to speak to. I would suggest someone at your church- perhaps they have Stephen ministers. Or call United Way and find an agency that may be able to help you deal with the emotional side of this experience and the legal.

Reason: typo
I am not looking for sympathy. If I can't identify what crime my son
commited is because I have been advice by my lawyer to not say
what crime my son commited. You see when it comes to juvinille cases,
their records are sealed for their protection. If I give you that information,
then I could myself be a target from the media. They have a strict law
about that here in North Carolina. All I'm trying to do is wake up
the local people here in Dare county as to how are court system is
treating our children. There has been a lot of unfairness in the juvinille
system for quite some time now. My opinion isn't bias nor self centered.
The local news media are in the court rooms on a daily basis but only
in the adult court rooms. All I can say is that murder or worse crimes are
treated with adults with lesser sentenses. Why should the best years
of our childrens lives be taken away from them when adults that commit
worse crimes get away with it or given second and sometime third
chances in life. I hope you can understand this.

It seems that you will have a better chance of reaching that audience in the North Carolina forum.
Best of luck, I'm sure that whatever it is and whatever the circumstances, your heart is aching for your son all the same.

I would recommend talking to the media in your area, if at all possible, or find the forums specific to your area. Tough call but since there isnt really any information to go on, it's hard to provide any advice.
In reply to submitting to the local forums here in Dare County,
I have already been banned from them before I could even post.
There is a lot of corruption in our local government.
I have yet gone to the local media. I am working on that.
I want to thank each and everyone of you who have shown
interest in my post. It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all,

I just thought of one more resource that might be of help. You mentioned that you will have to pay for you son's medical bills. I am assuming from that statement that your son might have a mental health disorder of some type requiring expensive medication. If that is the case, you may want to contact NAMI- not sure what it stands for, but the link is nami.org They can connect you with the local chapter. Many people with mental illness are incarcerated rather than given treatment in a secure facility. They should be able to tell you if there are other options that have not yet been explored.
