All Things Considered (4pm - 7pm)
Even in their teenage years many criminals are repeat offenders, and
find themselves in and out of court and juvenile detention. In
Washington state, a program called Team Child tries to break the
cycle. It brings mental health professionals, lawyers and others
together to focus on individual cases. Other states are looking to
Team Child as a model to start their own programs.
