Counseling and family counseling are part of the program. You can think of it as negative to try to educate and help kids in trouble. I prefer to help them live more productive lives. It is the best thing for them and society. I would rather spend money now than incarcerate them in their adult years.Unfortunately, we live in a society that thinks it's more morally appropriate to spend public money locking people up than to spend it rehabilitating them. And apparently that means children, too.
