He said that unfortunatly only about 10% of the kids he deals with really try to get their act together. The other 90% become the repeat offenders you spoke of.

It sounds like this guy was in that 10%, and I applaud him. I can and does happen, but it is unfortunatly rare.

    - What happens to the 10% once they're apprehended? What happens to the 90%? - Mary Anne - 2/21/2003 3:43:29 PM
