Connecticut’s Juvenile Courts are adding to the abuse of the very children they are meant to protect. These courts, which are a subset of the general Superior Court system, are so under-funded and lacking in resources that they contribute to the problems of the children and families before them, rather than solving those problems.
There are 13 Superior Courts for Juvenile Matters throughout the state, most of them in buildings separate from the general Superior Courts, and most of them overcrowded and poorly equipped to do their jobs. Their workload is divided into two parts – delinquency and abuse/neglect. I seldom handle delinquency matters, so my comments are addressed to the abuse/neglect side.
