When I used to have extra time (before the baby) I volunteered at a juvenile detention facility. I was on a diversion panel. It is a great way to have an impact on children that are starting to go down the wrong path. We dealt with 1st & 2nd misdemeanor offenses. The kid & they're parents would come infront of the three person panel to explain the circumstances behind their infraction. We then got to grill them & assign a penalty. I really helped me keep things in perspective with my teenage daughter. I learned that you can pay for positive (dance lessons) things now or pay for negative things (restitution) later.
