The state is using Banner Case Management System from Systems and Computer Technology Corp. of Malvern, Pa. The software runs on Pentium PCs with 128M of RAM under Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 linked to 450-MHz Pentium II Compaq ProLiant servers with 576M of RAM. As part of the project, every juvenile officer in all 45 judicial circuits now uses Lotus Notes 5.0 to share information. Technology grants Participants exchange information about the children and teens via e-mail among schools, juvenile offices and family courts, a process that is easier and faster than using postal mail, telephone or faxed messages. Waint said the e-mail system is also secure. It prevents student office assistants and other unauthorized individuals from viewing confidential information.

The Public Lawyer The Silent Victims by Casey Gwinn, City Attorney San Diego, California It was a week before trial in the summer of 1988. I was interviewing a domestic violence victim in my office. Her 8-year-old son, Christopher, was with her. After twenty minutes of waiting for us to finish preparing for trial, Christopher had had enough. In a fit of rage, he screamed at his mother and hit her with all his might. Sitting in the domestic violence prosecutor's office was the next generation of abuser. And, of course, since that time every study has confirmed what we all know. The children of domestic violence homes become this generation's juvenile criminals and the next generation's prison population. A recent Massachusetts study found that the children of domestic violence homes are six times more likely to commit suicide, 60 times more likely to be involved in delinquent behavior, and 1000 times more likely to become abusers than children growing up in a non-violent home. It has been rightly said, "In America, we raise our criminals at home." The City Attorney's Child Abuse/Domestic Violence Unit first acknowledged this nearly eight years ago when we began charging domestic violence offenders with child endangerment under Penal Code §273(a)(2) [today 273a(b)]. Section 273a(b) makes it a misdemeanor when any person "[w]illfully causes or permits any child to suffer, or inflicts thereon unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, or . . . willfully causes or permits that child be placed in a situation where his or her person or health may be endangered. . . . " Relying on this section, the San Diego City Attorney and soon other prosecutors across the state began filing child endangerment charges when children were present during domestic violence incidents and caught in the crossfire.

Stayc believes that service, dedication and the compassion shown to everyone she meets is her way of truly being a part of her community. As a promoter of the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society, she is doing just that. Stayc is passionate about supporting the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. At one time in her life, like so many others, this wasn't a great concern of hers. However, when she was diagnosed, on September 11, 1996 with Lymphoma, a blood-related cancer, it became a priority. At the age of 30, she was given 8 weeks to live. But after undergoing a year of treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, she is in remission and will be considered cured on September 11, 2003!

I was nominated by four teens that frequent the library: Jonaya Kemper, Iyonna Lassiter, Lisette Mena and Bruno-Miguel Pereira. Iyonna's nomination was the one chosen by the New York Times as the winner and she was invited (with her parents) to attend the awards reception at the NYT building on October 8th. [ See below for Iyonna's answers to the questions on the nomination form]. How did you find out you'd won? Actually, a New York Times representative called me at work. My first instinct was to say, "Thanks, but you've just called a library and we already subscribe to the Times." Have the winners' names been published yet, and if so was it exciting to see your name in the New York Times? The winners were published in the October 8th edition on the back page of the World Business section. It's a full-page ad! It was incredibly exciting to see my name in the paper it was kind of surreal. A friend of my mom's had the page laminated for me so I'll have it to show off for a very long time.

Mark Getsy Air Force Office of Special Investigations Public Affairs ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. (AFPN) Air Force Office of Special Investigations computer crime investigators identified a Connecticut teen-ager exploiting a connection between Air Force and Department of Transportation computer systems. The 15-year-old, whose name and address are being withheld, allegedly hacked into a Department of Transportation computer system March 28, 2000. The system is used to transfer Federal Aviation Administration flight data between an Air Mobility Command computer system at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., and the Volpe Center, an internationally recognized center of transportation logistics and expertise in Cambridge, Mass. The teen faces criminal charges in Cambridge Juvenile Court. He is being charged with four counts of unauthorized access; one count of malicious destruction of property; and one count of illegally intercepting wire communications for operating a "sniffer program" on the Volpe Center computer. "Sniffer programs" are used to steal passwords and information. The hacker used a "sniffer program" to capture a username and password while information was being transmitted from the Department of Transportation system, said Special Agent Ed Goings, from AFOSI Detachment 101 at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.

Teen Curfew A teen curfew may seem like a great idea, but some cities have had to face legal challenges to them. Most curfews are nighttime ones, restricting the times teenagers may be on the streets at night, but some cities have also added daytime curfews. A daytime curfew is one that limits the hours teenagers may be outside in public areas, usually not permitting them out during school hours. Two groups that are actively fighting curfews are the American Civil Liberties Union and the Libertarian party. The court systems have also weighed in, either supporting or striking down curfew laws. Most cities that enact teen curfews do so on the theory that curfews will keep kids home – or in school – and away from trouble. A 1996 survey shows that at least 270 U.S. cities have youth curfews. Some of the curfews are recent, enacted within the past five years, while others have been on the books for decades. Lexington’s curfew is a nighttime curfew, and has been on the books for many years. Youth under the age of 16 are not allowed on city streets after midnight. Lexington’s curfew is

NCSLnet Registration Help Forgotten NCSLnet Password? Nurturing Responsible Families Project Quick Facts About Low-Income Fathers and Families ( PDF Version The timing is right-states and communities have unprecedented opportunities to invest in services and develop policies that help low-income fathers become the emotional and financial providers that their children need and deserve. Research has underscored the importance of fathers in child development. Children with involved fathers are less likely to become teen parents, be involved with the juvenile justice system and are more likely to perform better in school. However, recent reforms in welfare and child support have focused almost exclusively on helping mothers move off welfare, without assistance given to helping their male counterparts become contributors to their children's emotional and financial well-being. Because more mothers and children leave the welfare rolls due to employment, sanctions and time limits, it is vital that these families have access to the contributions that fathers can make. The policies discussed here are designed to highlight ways that states can help to guarantee this goal by ensuring children benefit from two involved parents-even if parents are unmarried.

There is a concern that a professional credential for individuals teaching parents is not available. There are various ways to obtain instructional information about child development, family studies, and parenting practices. Several two and four-year colleges and universities offer undergraduate and graduate degrees that have parenting courses included in the child-related, family-related, or social work curriculum. Although there are a few opportunities to earn a national parenting education certification (ie., Parents as Teachers, Certified Family Life Educators through the National Council on Family Relations), there is not a consistently recognized parenting education certification process for the nation or in North Carolina. How NCPEN was formed U nder the leadership of Dr. Karen DeBord, The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service has organized a dialogue between organizations and agencies who provide parenting education programs for parents across the state. As a state child development Extension Specialist, Dr. DeBord recognized the need to collaboratively discuss and plan ways to address parenting education across the state.

Trinity Children and Family Services (TCFS) is much more than "places", it is an idea, a vision. That vision integrates and binds together a growing community of residential/treatment, education, foster care, day treatment and out-patient clinical programs, in order to provide effective therapeutic treatment, within environments of appropriate care, for society's damaged and troubled children. Although geographically diverse, TCFS encompasses several residential facilities, foster care offices, and school sites, the community of TCFS is bound closely together by its uncompromising commitment to the healing of victimized children. Where do the children come from? Appropriate levels and modes of care Within the TCFS residential/treatment program a wide array of treatment and residential settings are available. These include: shelter and diagnostic centers for, children and teens (boys and girls); sexual abuse victim/perpetrator treatment program for latency-age and teen boys; sexual abuse treatment program for pre-teen and teen girls; intense therapeutic treatment programs for seriously emotionally disturbed and/or behaviorally difficult late adolescent and teen boys; and short-term shelter care for teen boys and girls. For some children placement in a foster home is more appropriate than in a residential facility. To meet the needs of these children for loving and understanding homes, TCFS provides complete foster care services. TCFS Foster Care maintains its own staff of professional social workers skilled in recruiting, training, and certifying foster parents and over-seeing the placement of foster children in their homes.
