James here...

To quote the page I mentioned, 2nd to last paragraph, last sentence:

"The child treats the world the way the world treats the child."

///Thank you for clarifying a bit. I was getting some ruffled feathers:) It's a throw-away society and that, unfortunately, includes a lot of children. There is also a tremendous amount of alcohol and drug abuse during what should be the prenatal nurturing time. Sigh. A viscious cycle. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect continue to be the leading factors in mental retardation and related disorders (which also includes some horrific behavior.) Sigh. And I believe I'm correct in that our country now has the dubious distinction of wharehousing (imprisoning) the most people anywhere in the world. Sigh. "If the jail population continues to grow at the current rate, by the year 2053, the U.S. will have more people in jail than out." Source: Camille Gear & David Lewis, "Locking up the Drug Problem: Criminal and Legal Responses to Drug Addiction", Center for Alcohol Addiction Studies, Brown University, 1995.

The National Mental Health Assoc. sites the emergence of a consistent picture regarding our youth and mental disorders of those in the juvenile justice system. The high rates of mental disorders include substance abuse disorders and multiple co-occurring diagnoses. A representative sample of 95 public and private juvenile facilities revealed that 73% of the children reported mental health problems during screening. Of those, 57% had previously received treatment for mental health problems.

Please tell me where I might access the webpage to which you were referring!
