End the School to Prison Pipeline

Children are being thrown into the penal.system at an alrming rate without the benefit of psychological evaluation. These children often are put into jail and their parents are only notified by phone AFTER the child has been delivered to a detention center and have been sitting for hours.
Also, minors are being tried and convicted as adults more than ever! A child cannot stand trail by a jury of his peers if those on the jury are all over the age of 18. Thus making it unconstitutional.
Children need more resources and evaluations to live up to their full potential. We propose a bill that makes psychological evaluation of minors at risk mandatory. Also, correct diagnosises of learning disorders for disadvantaged chdren and resourses made available to prevent kids from giving up on themselves and falling into a system never meant for them.
