Juvenile Delinquency

Delinquency is a measure of adult neglect of children, for the children are all right when we get them.
Earl C. Kelly, Agricultural Education Magazine

A young man stood before a judge to be sentenced for forgery. The judge had been a great friend of the boy's father, who was famous for his books on the law of trusts.
``Young man,'' said the judge sternly, ``do you remember your father, that father whom you have disgraced?''
``I remember him perfectly,'' the young man answered quietly. ``When I went to him for advice or companionship he would say, `Run away, boy I am busy.' My father finished his book and here I am.''
Baptist Bulletin Service

Too many parents believe they are rendering their children a service when they try to protect them from the harsh discipline they remember from their own childhood or from the hard work they experienced in their youth. Discipline does not need to be harsh, and parents render their children a great disservice when they fail to provide moderate and consistent discipline from infancy, set limits on the child's behavior, and help him to take increasing responsibility for his actions.
