"an Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound of Cure"...
Johnny doesn't attend school, Bobby brought a knife to school, Mary punched and cursed a teacher, Susie stole a blouse from a local store and two students were fighting. OOPS...they all made poor choices and costly mistakes. How can they learn not to make costly mistakes again? Johnny said,lets try OOPS, Inc.- a program design to teach youth basic juvenile law, law related education, making better CHOICES, learning alternatives to Juvenile Court, Probation, Youth Detention Centers, Adult Court or Prison.
*************************************************************************************
Prevention, that's it, How about, an Ounce Of Prevention Services...Information, topics, activities.Truants, First time offenders in the community, parents/adults having issues with children at home not following rules,talking back to teachers /parents, and more; ages 5 to 9 on Anger Management/Bullying/Fighting/weapons, which could lead to more serious crimes; and ages 10 to 16 youth crimes/violence, gang activity, hip-hop culture, The Seven Deadly Sins. Juveniles learn, What do I do when stopped by the police?, Juvenile Justice and Juvenile Court Awareness. Incarceration - not a pretty word when your thirteen years old up to 17. Youth role playing, dawning tools of incarceration,interaction,field trips,PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT, which is key to the success of the program.

In most of our schools across America, there isn't a program quite like this. Not only does this program offer Law Related Education on topics like, Juvenile Justice Awareness, Juvenile Court Awareness and Choices - Legal Awareness, Truancy, HOOPS for OOPS, Anger Management,Conflict Resolution,Negative Hip Hop Influences (music,lyrics,etc.),Youth Violence/Crimes,and more. There are over 2 million youth incarcerated across America; over 30,000 youth are under the supervision of the juvenile justice system in Georgia.Disproportionately, African-Americans and Hispanics/Latinos are incarcerated. What if you had a program in your state, city, or community that possibly could prevent 30,000 or 3,000 youth - your own child maybe; from making a costly mistake, just by learning some invaluable information. When it comes to fighting,violence,gangs,weapons.We have to stop being REACTIVE and start being more PROACTIVE. We can't afford to wait for our children to mess up...we must teach them; basic juvenile law, which will afford them the opportunities to make better decisions, before having to stand before a school tribunal or a juvenile court judge....try OOPS!!!
