When Good Kids Make Poor Choices: Juvenile Law
Science shows us that a teen’s brain is not yet fully hardwired. We know that many youths have trouble making reasonable executive decisions. Sometimes this incomplete wiring can cause an otherwise “good” kid to make a poor choice.
The Law And Teens
Unfortunately, many times law enforcement and the courts do not understand what causes a 10-, 12- or 14-year-old child to act impulsively, sometimes with violence sometimes sexually. The truth is that the court, the judge and the jury all need to be educated about a teen’s brain. They also need to see your child as a person, a sibling, a son or daughter, but most importantly as still a child.
The Tough Defense You Need
Attorney Tally Zuckerman has worked with hundreds of teens. Tally understands what it takes to keep a child from being charged as an adult. She will work to ensure that whenever possible your teen avoids prison time and gets the help he or she needs with emotional, drug or peer pressure issues.
