Agreed, that is why I am not totally bought in to this regulation will solve the problem mentality. I think it may help in some areas and make things worse in others. If people want to hurt others they are going to do it whether they are licensed or regulated... some of the regulations just might make it more difficult for them to operate.
Regulation may decrease the odds of that sort of thing, but really, entirely new laws need to exist that protect the rights of children by giving them due process so as to avoid coercive and unqualified treatment.
I agree with this, but I dont think the present court system is doing a good job today, with the present laws we give them to work within, in directing kids to safe alternatives. Many of these kids end up in abusive boot camps inwhich they do not deserve and dont help them. I wouldnt rely on our court system to help out.
If new laws were defined it may help to give children a louder voice or advocate (outside the justice system).

You know why the present court system is doing a horrible job? Because they don't know the kids they are personally dealing with. They don't deal with them day in, day out. So, the courts send them off to these boot camps, or what have you,for a paper full of offenses, not knowing what each one of them is really about!!!!! You know what I mean? But, then there is always someone saying at least it isn't the parents making this choice of wherever their kid goes.
Do you think these judges lose a wink of sleep at night dealing with the 1,000's of kids that go through their justice system? No. Parents, have a bit more of a responsibility, and are connected with their children, at least biologically so. More so then a judge.
It just so happened I ended up with two jerks as parents. One too high, and mighty letting his new wife wear the pants in the relationship. Then my poor Mother (god rest her soul)who was an emotional wreck, and a major alcoholic to boot, she couldn't even help herself, let alone me.
I think in most cases, parents will be the fairest of judges. It really is true that parents know what is best for their own children more then a legal system. For the most part. But, then there are a few of us that lets face it......got fucked!
