About Juvenile Justice Online
Children around the world are making poor choices using their technology (Cellphones/Tablets/Computers), Sexting and Bullying are now part of our everyday language. These activities are very harmful to children and can dramatically impact their futures. Current laws make many of these activities illegal. These laws can result in our children being arrested, fingerprinted, photographed for mug shots, sent to court, and even in the case of Sexting, having to register as a Sex Offender. No one wants this for children. Families can be devastated, and children's futures ruined. JJO's Mission is to change this!
We train juveniles and parents how to prevent, avoid and report these dangers, train Law Enforcement and School Administrators how to investigate and reform, and provide powerful alternatives to arrest through education and behavior modification to help "divert" our children to a better path.
