The Children’s Code addresses issues impacting the youth in OJJ’s care including: Mandatory Reporting, Safe Environments, Confidentiality and Expungement of Case Records.
MANDATORY REPORTING
Youth in residential and secure care facilities have the same rights. It is the state's duty to act as a parent to the youth placed in custody. This is known as "Parens Patriae". According to Children’s Code Art. 801, "In those instances when [a child] is removed from the control of his parents, the court shall secure for him care as nearly as possible equivalent to that which his parents should have given him." According to State in the Interest of S.D., "the purpose of incarcerating juveniles…is treatment and rehabilitation, due process requires that the conditions and programs…must be reasonably related to that purpose.”
