Thesis Statement The state of California does not accommodate support services for the juveniles when they have become the legal age (18), social services should be provided to them to prevent them from becoming a continued case number in the criminal justice system. A juvenile is considered an adult at the age of 18 in California, once that child reaches that age those services that were originally provided to him/her will terminate. Those support services that were provided to them when they were in foster care or when they had a family issues will no longer be accessible to them. These support services include counseling, trauma support classes, physiologist, rehabilitation, etc. In our current system there are no correct support services

According to the system they all mature at the same age, when it is completely ridiculous because they are not dealing with your “average” child. For example, let state that there was a child at the age of 16 who suffered through neglect, that child has 2 years to “cope” with neglecting. There should not be a time frame on healing wound, because there will still remain a scar. Physical, sexual abuse, neglect, foster care, etc. is not minor things its lifelong problems there should be somewhat of life-long support services. Without the correct support system for the juveniles, it will create them more negative effects on their life for example them becoming homeless. Once they become homeless they will have a criminal record for public intoxication, sleeping at the park, etc. with will lead them to go to being incarcerated. It shouldn’t matter what age they reach, there should always be support services given to them. This problem is becoming to a great affect, the homelessness rate is rising like no other, prisons are being over crowded, and this needs to stop it is now just becoming a cycle. A child is in foster care they child is never adopted and now turns 18 years old. Once that child turns 18 years old they are now considered an adult, they are now able to …show more content…
The children who are born into the system have that urge of having a normal life, that desire. Every child that receives support services from the system will no longer receive service once they reach the age of 18. These services include finical, educational, social and otherwise. The children in the system have a difficult time coping with support, due to them not permanently having the moral support within the family. With this support that an average peer would have helps them develop a high independence state in their brains which is normally developed at age 25. Once the juvenile ages out of system, that transitional affect doesn’t quite hit as it is sapost to. Once that affect doesn’t take into play, this creates more of a negative effect on them. Basically re-opening a wound that was a scar already. We need to invest more time, thought, and money of youth aging out of the system. These resources should be available to all states and for better results one should extend those services available to them after they turn 18. Once the juveniles turns 18 they have many mixed emotions, them not being adopted and re feeling those same emotions of neglect when they first come
