The
only institution that can reasonably exercise leadership on behalf of
the
society and children is the juvenile court. The
reason is simply that no other institution can claim to have an
equally broad view of all the interests that are at stake, to have as
wide a
range of action, or be able to make decisions that are designed to
reflect the
values of society as expressed in its laws and constitution.
