One of its main risks is the leadership’s lack of intervention in circumstances that breed juvenile delinquency and adult criminal behavior (e.g., family violence). Despite its risks, involvement in the faith community improves any number of lifestyle measures, including health, mental health, and problem behavior. The faith community is poised to advance these advantages beyond the primarily female clientele it now serves, to include comprehensive delinquency prevention programming.

Instead, research shows that the most economical answer to the question of what will work appears to be the coordinated efforts of the child-serving agencies to treat the multiple psychosocial problems that ail children and their families before they have the chance to begin acting out their angst. Prevention programming needs to be effective for only one or two youth in order to save the lives of people like University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s 2007 - 2008 student body President Eve Carson.

Depression, anxiety, and addiction are among the most common mental illnesses in the general population. Certain types of mental illness (e.g., addiction) are much more common among criminal justice populations than the general public. The Ugly Fact is that the criminal justice system is often the “safety net” for those who go under-treated or untreated in either the private or public AMHS. We know for a fact that it is cheaper to treat mental illness than it is to incarcerate people. For example, research shows that for every $1.00 spent on drug abuse treatment, there is a $7.00 return on the investment. In contrast, the money spent on incarceration usually yields a 50% re-incarceration rate. Most would agree that the 700% return on investment from treatment is good business for everyone!

The child welfare system - cash, food, and medical assistance for basic needs and child protective services – provides vital services to the neediest children. However, because of institutionalized human behavior, the Ugly Fact is that the system hurts as much as it helps. Children whose mother receives assistance with basic needs are stigmatized, have few resources, and often experience the associated low-stimulation environment that is correlated with difficulty learning, school failure, and criminal behavior. For children who experience foster care placement as part of child protective services intervention, their prognosis is bleak. The children rarely receive appropriate services needed to address the consequences of trauma and disrupted parental attachment bonding, which places them at great risk for being homeless, addicted, and incarcerated.

The Ugly Fact is that deliberate decision to leave children, who struggle academically, behind by withholding personal engagement with teachers and school-based resources results in early school failure. Early failure in the American Education System (AES) typically leads to disillusionment, frustration, withdrawal, and acting out for children. So, children often drop out of school socially and emotionally well before they are able to do so physically. Grade retention and administrative discharges ease the way to dropping out altogether. These tactics are examples of institutionalized human behavior (automatic reactions to similarities, differences, and positive and negative stereotypes) which perpetuates itself, regardless of the players, and deliberate decisions that are made which result in children being left behind in the AES. Children who are deliberately left behind in the AES are prime candidates for the criminal justice system.

It is not at all apparent that they are getting the message because they continue to post items that depict them saying and doing all kinds of outrageous things. It is time to detail the dangers of posting words and images on these sites that have the potential of compromising opportunities because of what they appear to say about youth’s character and behavior. The other side of the coin is what to do about youth whose opportunities are limited because of their social media interaction. The adage remains true: you can’t rob a person of his pain and expect him to grown.” When youth are caught with their most unflattering side showing and it costs them opportunities which cause them pain, they need to be allowed to benefit from that pain, as it is very likely to lead to growth and understanding. Giving youth a second chance because of the pain almost guarantees that they will not grow from the experience.

Macro-level factors include the influences of human service systems.

Mrs. Woods appears to have decided to stay, while Mrs. Sanford and Mrs. Edwards have decided to leave. Some news stories have highlighted other big name wives who have stayed in their marriages (e.g., Hilary Clinton). A recent radio listener poll indicated that listeners are interested in discussing the topic of staying in a marriage after a spouse has cheated. While it appears that people know how to leave, many are interested in talking about how to stay.
