Viral Video of Georgia Judge Admonishing Youth

[TeresaT]

Have you seen this video of a Georgia judge speaking to a bunch of kids in her courtroom? She is amazing! She gives me hope for our judicial system. If we can have this kind of intervention in all cities and municipalities across America, with adults who truly care, then we may be able to reduce the rates of wayward youth. Prevention really has to start in the homes and neighborhoods, but getting kids to see this perspective can help, too.

I saw that a couple of days ago and loved it! She's tough and straight to the point when she describes to them what happens to people in prison. If her approach saves just one kid from going down the path that leads to prison time, it's worth it.
