106. Describe and discuss what childhood was like in the American colonies.
ANSWER:
The colonies were a haven for people looking for opportunities denied them in England and Europe. Along with the adult early settlers, many children came not as citizens but as indentured servants, apprentices, or agricultural workers. They were recruited from workhouses, orphanages, prisons, and asylums that housed vagrant and delinquent youths.
At the same time, the colonists themselves produced illegitimate, neglected, and delinquent children. The initial response to caring for such children was to adopt court and Poor Law systems similar to those in England. It was also possible, as in England, for parents to voluntarily apprentice their children to a master for care and training. The master in colonial America acted as a surrogate parent, and in certain instances apprentices would actually become part of the family.
In the United States, as in England, moral discipline was rigidly enforced. Stubborn child laws were passed that required children to obey their parents. It was not uncommon for children to be whipped if they were disobedient or disrespectful to their families.
Children were often required to attend public whippings and executions, because these events were thought to be important forms of moral instruction. Parents referred their children to published writings on behavior and expected them to follow their precepts carefully. The early colonists, however, viewed family violence as a sin, and child protection laws were passed as early as 1639.

108. Describe who the child savers were and the impact the group had on the creation of the concept of delinquency in the United States.
ANSWER:
Child savers were concerned that the moral training of children of the dangerous classes was inadequate. Their focus was on extending government control over youthful activities (drinking, vagrancy, and delinquency) that had previously been left to private or family control.
Poor children could become a financial burden, and the child savers believed these children presented a threat to the moral fabric of society. Child-saving organizations influenced state legislatures to enact laws giving courts the power to commit children who were runaways or criminal offenders to specialized institutions, such as the House of Refuge, which opened in New York in 1825, and reform schools, devoted to the care of vagrant and delinquent youths. Under the Children’s Aid Society in 1853, delinquent youths were rescued from the harsh environment of the city and provided with temporary shelter through the placing-out plan to send these children to western farms where they could be cared for and find a home (orphan trains).
Although reform groups continued to lobby for government control over children, the committing of children under the doctrine of parens patriae without due process of law began to be questioned by members of the child-saving movement. This concern and consequent political activity culminated in passage of the Illinois Juvenile Court Act of 1899.
The designation delinquent became popular at the onset of the twentieth century when the first separate juvenile courts were instituted. The child savers believed that treating minors and adults equally violated the humanitarian ideals of American society. Consequently, the emerging juvenile justice system operated under the parens patriae philosophy.

109. The Illinois Juvenile Court Act was a major event in the juvenile justice movement. Provide the motivating principles and key provisions of the act.
ANSWER:
The principles motivating the Illinois reformers were these:
1.
Children should not be held as accountable as adult transgressors.
2.
The objective of the juvenile justice system is to treat and rehabilitate rather than punish.
3.
Disposition should be predicated on analysis of the youth’s special circumstances and needs.
4.
The system should avoid the trappings of the adult criminal process with all its confusing rules and procedures.
The key provisions of the act were these:
1.
A separate court was established for delinquent and neglected children.
2.
Special procedures were developed to govern the adjudication of juvenile matters.

110. What are status offenses? How does the juvenile justice system rationalize its involvement with this type of offense?
ANSWER:
The Juvenile Court Act recognized a second classification of youthful offender, the wayward minor or status offender, a child who is subject to state authority by reason of their having committed an act forbidden to youth and is illegal solely because the child is considered “under age,” for example, underage drinking, underage smoking, et cetra
State control over a child’s noncriminal behavior supports the parens patriae philosophy, because it is assumed to be in the best interests of the child. Usually, a status offender is directed to the juvenile court when it is determined that his parents are unable or unwilling to care for or control him and that the adolescent’s behavior is self-destructive or harmful to society.
