Youth City Court Participants 2.01 MB
Youth Court is a program in Spanish Fork where first time offenders of small crimes can go and find ways to make up their debt to society. When kids 14 to 18 commit a crime like stealing, vandalism, and other small offenses, they can attend Youth Court and work with the kids involved in the program to get their crime erased from their record. “Kids can do stuff like write essays, clean up the mess they made, do community service, and other simple things that help them realize what they did wrong,” says Karianne Nelson, who is in the group of students that help find solutions. “I like it because I get to help people. And the cops are funny, too.” Youth Court is a great way for kids to help kids, and everyone involved is very grateful to Lt. Steve Adams for all his help!
