INTERBRANCH COMMISSION ON JUVENILE JUSTICE AND FUIRTHER THOUGHTS ON KIDS FOR CASH SCANDAL IN WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY,PA

I have begun to notice through what has been spoken on the Kids for Cash scandal, that it is also the school administrators who must answer for their actions. The school administrators willingly went along with the corruption and the violation of children and families' constitutional rights solely because it made things easier for them. They did not want to provide to the true needs of troubled children, instead it was much easier to go along with the corrupt schemes of Ciavarella. But aside from this tragic instance, this has been the pattern all along. This is what has led to parents being bullied to place their children on dangerous psychotropic drugs, because the school administration does not want to change or take the time to address children's true needs, both emotionally and educationally. It is much easier to ship them out of the school where the problem does not have to be dealt with at all by them, or if this is not possible, to drug them into submission to a flawed system of things.
