Abstract: The errant child does not fare well at the hands of a society which professes a special status for him and a special treatment process. Confusion exists in the public mind and the public policy about the rights and responsibilities of children. We are in need of a renewed effort to clarify our concepts, strengthen our commitment to children, and fortify our helping services, including schools, social agencies, police work with juveniles, detention, courts and probation, and institution care.
