Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problem of the Children and How the State of Colorado Cares for Them: A Report of the Juvenile Court of Denver 1904
Children in many States at the age of seven, and in prac tically all at the age of ten, when violating the laws of the land are amenable, not to the home, the church or the school, but to the State. Then as fathers, mothers or citizens can we occupy ourselves with a more important problem than that of the children? And since the State is placed above the parent and made the judge, as it often is, as to the proper discharge of the parental function; if it may assume it, as it often must, where the parent fails, then at least as great responsibility devolves upon the State as upon the parent to properly dis charge its every function, act or duty toward the child, and as wisely and well.
The facts disclosed, however dark, in that phase of the child problem in cities dealt with by the Juvenile Court, can offer no encouragement to the pessimist. A more important fact is the uplifting movements being furnished for childhood betterment all over this country, of which the Juvenile Court is only one.
