State's Juvenile Statutes Termed Inadequate, Confusing By HELENE LAPOINTE Juvenile delinquency is on the decrease in the Lewiston-Auburn area, according to the A records charged committing the very same actions which a youngster may be incarcerated for, says Lewiston schoolliaison Officer Antoine Grenier. A case in point came up recently before the Maine Supreme Court, when a Bangor and a Skowhegan attorney challenged the constitutionality of the state statute by which two juvenile girls were for "living in circumstances of manifest danger of falling into kabits of vice and immorality." Vague The attorneys for the girls that the phrase is vague," and thus, the girls' commitments were "in violation of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment." The attorneys further claimed that the court's decision where the girls were concerned were not only in violation of the due process clause, but also in violation of equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, "would and not their have so called criminal offense if committed by an adult." However, in a five to one decision, handed down Jan. 22. 1973, the Maine Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the states 100-year-old juvenile statute stating: "The statute with which we are here concerned calls for the protective facilities of the State to come into play whenever a juvenile, as defined by the Act. commits an offense and whenever the conduct of the juvenile is such that he or she is living in circumstances of manifest danger of falling into habits of vice or immorality.

"The statute does not relate to a status. By its express terms it relates to conduct of the juvenile. It treats with a class of persons, i.e., a person under the age of 17 in whom the State has asserted a special protective with constitutional validity," the concurring justices explain. In the 20-page decision, the judges further explained their position by stating: "The meaning of the reference phrase clear when one considers, our the juvenile history laws. and "The basic purpose of affording, treatment is as juveniles that the State special as of the two police departments.

but for those working with juveniles, things could be better. "Many of the state statutes on juveniles are antiquated, and need to be says Lewiston's Youth Bureau director, Normand Cloutier. Auburn's former juvenile officer could not agree more. "What little we have of law is very inadequate," says Capf Stanley Houston. Others, Lewiston-Auburn and throughout the state, have gone so far as contend that some of the state's juvenile statutes are unconstitutional.

"Many people consider some juvenile laws unconstitutional, because an adult cannot be charged committing the for "parens (legal guardians) duty to avoid giving children criminal records and, insofar as possible, prepare the child to cope with life and not become a criminal in his adult Where the charge that the juvenile situation would not involve a criminal offense. if it involved an adult, the justices it was their opinion "the child is not charged with criminal "To divert children back into the stream of criminal process would surely result restoration of all the constitutional safeguards accorded adult criminals, but we fear it would have the effect of diverting public attitudes from the humanitarian goal of providing a helping hand deviant young," the Justice continued. "We are confident that a properly structured and fairly administered juvenile court system without can serve our needs infringing on individual freedoms." the five men concluded. Dissenting, Justice Armand Dufresne. in his own 26-page opinion, stated: "In my view.

this court should not decide the important constitutional issues presented in the instant case without full record showing distinctly, these with what specific petitioners were charged to have been engaged in that led to an adjudication of juvenile delinquency. Have A Right "The youth of this state are entitled to know what conduct will jeopardize their right to live at home and force them Into a State institution," Justice Dufresne stated. In spite of the court's decision, LA persons involved with juvenile programs and juvenile court feels that changes should be made in the system. But until changes can be made. some feel that present laws are needed to help protect the juvenile.

"Incorrigibility and truancy in a child are indications of further 11 and although I feel we need new juvenile laws, the laws at least can get kids into courts so we can help says Lewiston-Auburn Attorney Janice Lynch. In complete agreement with her, is Lewiston liaison officer Grenier, who says: If a child is not going to school he is out getting into other trouble. So if police can pick him up on truancy, they can probably stop him before he gets deep into trouble. Miss Lynch, a secretary to the Maine Juvenile Justice Association, has been working with juveniles several years, first as assistant to the state attorney general, assigned to the Division of Health and Welfare, and more recently as legal counsel in Juvenile Court of the Twin Cities. A major change she feels needed in juvenile justice in the L-A area is the introduction of a family court system.

"We need a court which can work with juveniles on a fulltime basis to help them solve their problems," she says. "In Lewiston District Court, a difficult handle each case court, calendar makes adequately," Miss Lynch added. Only one day each week is devoted to juvenile cases, she says. "One case can take up to three hours to hear, leaving little time left for cases to be handled," she said." However, Auburn's former Juvenile officer, Capt. Houston, says the emphasis should be on preventive rather than punitive, programs.

"Kids are the biggest commodity we have got. They will be running our cities in the future. We must do everything we can to help them while they are young." Houston says. Trust Police "Programs should be preventive, and they should get kids to trust police through education of reasons why police do certain things," he explained. In the case of serious problems, Houston feels a youngster could still go through the court system.

"but other cases minor problems, and laws governing the way they should be handled. need to be he adds. Other changes suggested by Capt. Houston include expansion of juvenile law to cover 17-year. olds, and the creation of half way houses with home-type of environments.

"The state has nothing for the juvenile between the home environment and boys or girls training SAVS the former president of the Maine Juvenile Accociation. The Parent "In some cases, youngsters need help. but they should not have juvenile records. A runaway or a truancy case often stems from problems with the parent." Houston says. "If a child can't get help from home we should be able to provide them with home where people are interested in voungsters." Houston suggests.

Such a home is the half-way house type of facility. he suggests. Houston served as charter president for the Maine Juvenile be a step in the right direction for the state's young. Justice Association which was created more than two years ago, following of a study by the University Maine. study suggested many changes in juvenile work.

and the association was organized as a result. Cpt. Houston says it is the organization's intention support and introduce legislation relative to juvenile justice in the state. Such legislation is expected in Augusta sometime this week where a bill is being presented which would forbid incarceration of juveniles for non-criminal acts. The proposed legislation, being sponsored by Portland's District 10 Sen.

Joseph E. Brennan, is one of many changes which will suggested in coming years in the area of juvenile justice. Many will agree it seems ot Check Report Of Mysterious Flying Object Auburn police checked Monday night a report of a strange object in the sky over the Auburn Drive-In Theater but came up with nothing.
