back in session. those detained downstairs in the detention center are shackled for their own safety and the safety of those bringing them to the juvenile court wing. no talking in the hallway. on the judge s docket, today, two very different but equally heavy hearings. the case of two young brothers who have been in detention over and over but still could face years in the juvenile system. and then there s devon who at 18 will stand in the judge s courtroom one last time. if he gets locked up again it will be in adult jail. i wish i could just go back to when i was 10 years old. with the knowledge i have now, i could be anywhere if i hadn t started messing around with the drugs. you think your kids will come home with you today? i want them to come home. but it s for the best. i said no. i can t do that. i can t let you in the house. then i find out he was shot. meatball yelling c mon, you want heartburn? when your favorite food starts a fight, fight back fast, with tums.
he said, i ll straighten up, mom, please. and i wouldn t let him. i said no. i can t do that. i can t let you in the house. and then i find out he was shot. so on this monday the judge has found it s in the best interest for the brothers kenneth and kentrell to remain detained until their next court hearing. will devon s mother s pleas and his age be enough to convince the judge it s time for him to go home? he s on the verge of doing something really horrible in his life and taking him away from you forever or on the verge of being able to turn that corner. i procrastinated on.

and decided not to charge you with attempted robbery? i like the rush of seeing how close i can get to getting caught without actually getting caught. that s how i like to do. that s stupid. you re blackmailing me and i know you re not going to do it. that s student, mom. you being here isn t? that wasn t a stray bullet that entered his arm. that was a purposeful act in response to something devon was doing of a criminal nature. i bought a car, over and tells you, and you re like. a good deal or not. looking at truecar.com. there s no buyer s remorse.
her demand, better facilities for kids and families. the family support in these hearings or in general with the kids whether in the hearing or outside the hearing is monumental. i think if there was one single thing that i would point to to be able to predict the success or failure of a young person is the family involvement and support. sounds like for about four years now the court has been involved not only with his life, but obviously your life as well. mm-hmm. so he s turned 18 now. you re a family that s had a lot of intervention. pretty quickly there will be none. we are here to back him up 100%. i do have a a lot of family support. everybody is pulling for him. you know, but he has to pull for himself. ma am? judge, i m really torn. everybody s tapdancing around the shooting of devon. that wasn t a stray bullet that
