i feel that if this was my child there are other ways of helping parents help their children alot of the times these kids do things because of circumstances at home there is no way that i think a child should be locked up with other kids that are even more criminal minded there needs to be a better system. to help parents help their children. and locking up kids is not the answer.

yes these people are using wrongful authority on these kids that have already been through traumatic experiences they do not need to be given meds to control or make them rely on medication when half of these kids are already dependent on substances instead of doing this they need to provide counseling and substance abuse therapies to help these kids to be productive drug free adult individuals and not get them introduced to a system that the state has created and labeled for many people who are not givin an oppurtunity to reform.

"WHAT IF ONE OF THESE CHILDREN WERE YOURS"?
Should there be a sentencing law against officers using abuse or excessive force on kids while they are incarcerated?

6 years ago, I was a detainee at the Kearny Mesa juvenile hall when I was 15 years old. I was locked up for 4 months for taking my mothers car without permission and essentially receiving grand theft auto reduced to a misdemeanor titled "joyriding". I have many stories from my time there that would shock many. First of all, for the girls that exhibit any sort of tendencies toward harming oneself are thrown into solitary suicide watch in a room with a surveillance camera and left alone by themselves. They have all their clothes taken away and are given a vest thats thick and filled with sand. The girl i knew that was on suicide watch said she would just walk around naked because the vest was so uncomfortable. They dont allow you to have lunch with the rest of the girls during lunch and your basically put on solitary confinement for a month allowed little to no social interaction. Can you tell me how this is helping a girl who is depressed and supposedly in there because they are concerned she might kill herself. Doesnt she deserve extra care, perhaps therapy, perhaps any sort of treatment other than being locked up all alone without social interaction? The whole system does nothing but degrade the childs feeling of self worth. It makes you identify with yourself as a bad person and as a criminal whether or not you were placed there for rightful causes. The feeling of helplessness to improve your situation through good behaviour or the very hard ability to get out of the cycle makes it feel inevitable that you can get out. That coupled with the fact that your new friends are drug dealers, prostitutes, occassionally murderers makes in very easy to slip further into a hole. The only way to be able to get out of that hole is inner strength because lord knows no one is going to help you when your in there. Your treated like a worthless criminal that deserve to be treated inhumanely and i dont see how that in any way helps a kid! While in there i was sprayed with pepper spray because i was in the crossfire of a fight that ha broken out. After school we would have to go to the shower room and take all of our clothes off shuffle our hair, lift our breasts up and kneel down and squat and cough to make sure we didnt put anything up our rear ends. That was extremely humiliating and this happened everytime we went to class or had a visit with our parents. It was even more humiliating when I was on my period and had to hand them my bloody pad to them. The bed frame was made of hard sheet metal, the matresses were no more than a inch thick and the pillow no thicker. When i was very sick with the flu i asked for an extra blanket because it nearing winter and was very cold as you can imagine it would be in a room made of thick cement walls. I was denied the blanket and was sick for quite a long time freezing with my thin blanket. My kind roomate did let me borrow her sweater to let me put on myself while I slept. I was also denied water during lunch. There is usually water given at lunch when you go out of your cell but that day i was forcd to stay in my cell and I couldnt drink the milk because it was creating to much mucus while I was sick. So it was milk or nothing at all. I drank the milk and of course felt sicker. You do also have to wear underwear that is washed and recycled and worn by everyone which I always thought was gross. During my last month there i was placed on solitary confinement for an entire month because two of the girls in my four man room where making out and got caught. I had no part in it, in fact I was the one that told my mother about it. My mother told the gaurds and the gaurds put all of us on solitary confinement. Why was I? I was the one the in a way ratted them out. Why was I punished? I never knew and they never cared to listen. I was also diagnosed as clinically depressed while I was there and they decided that would be better to extend my stay there because of that. Does that make sense? They were not treating me so why would i need to stay longer. Also, though I did not see this happen I had heard that one of the gaurds who was an ex gang member, if you were good with her she would let you take a girl into the laundry room where there are no cameras and fight another girl. Then eventually break it up and act as though it was surprise that it happened. Again I have no proof of that and it could very well not be true. While I was on probation my mother decided she no longer wanted to take care of me. At the time I was going to probation school. Do you know what they do with kids that have no place to go that are on probation. Back to Juvenile Hall! I was in class and the probation officers at school pulled me out of class and told me my mother no longer wanted me. I began to cry of course and was heart broken. Then they hand cuffed my wrist and ankle and wrapped chains from my ankles up and around my waist and then again to my wrist, then put me in a cop car and took me to juvenile to wait for 2 weeks to go to court and wait to see what group home i would go to. That was one of the worst days of my life. Isnt it bad enough to know you parent doesnt want you that the chains and handcuffs and being detained in a cell is a little excessive. Why was they no segregation of levels of security? I was just a kid waiting to find out if i was going to haave a home to stay. Why was i locked up that day with a girl who had just killed her brother? Its true I was. She was a very sweet girl and I felt really bad for her. I never heard the story, i think it was hard for her to talk about it, but I believe it was an accident that happened while she was messed up on crystal meth. I could go on but thats all for now. Bottom line, juvenile hall is inhumane and cruel. There is nothing good that can come out of the place and the system should change. Every child should be treated individually for the situation of the crime commited, the should be segregated and they should be helped. Not lumped into a group of kids neglected and treated as a worthless detainee that need to be shuffled into their cells and forgotten about.

Something has to be done, this is not right and this is not helping anything.

Go ahead look into our system. Why is it that half of the parents who read this want somebody else to fix their children. We can not fix in 2 months with your kids what took you 13 years to screw up. As a staff at Kearny Mesa I am here to let you know your child is lucky they commited the crime as a minor and recieve so much (to much in some cases) that they dont understand that its not all fun and games when they turn 18 and commit the same crimes. As for pepper spray rumers...it is only allowed to be used for non complience in fighting and imminent danger to others.

Generally speaking, I am not an advocate of incarceration. This is my daughters first time in Juvenile Hall. Obviously she isn't there for being good. However,last night I went to visit my daughter in JDetention. I sat 5 feet away from the girl that murdered her mother in Rancho San Diego. I was absolutely shocked that there was NO segregation between the girls and violent offenders. SHOCKED. I layed in bed thinking about my daughter and who her new friends were. My daughter in there for running away, making new BFF's with murderers. Then I get the news that there is a bill on it's way. Here we are as parents, the victims, being charged a fee because the police wouldn't help early on. It had to get so bad in our home for anyone to help. I feel like I want her out now. The help the state is offering is clearly not any help at all.

I have a child at this moment 2008 at the san diego juvenile court system. I think they totally suck and offer no programs to help these kids get out of their situation but only to increase and set them up to keep going back in the system. My child has been returned home to me 3 times and has been worse than when he went in. Supposedly according to them, he has had therapy and psychiatric treatment (for drugs and alchohol), but when he comes out, he runs back into the drugs and alchohol and crime. SO, what is this treatment really teaching him, if there is any treatment at all.

My daughter was put in JHall in Kerny Mesa for 2 mths last year and my son who is now 22 years old had a short visit there as well. They need to focus more on rehabiliation for these young kids versus resorting to medications that in the long run only exaberate their problems. Truth is though , it all starts at home. Do what you must to ensure your child never ends up in one of these torture chambers.
