On Juvenile justice officials allege unethical, illegal behavior

For everyone concerened-
In the Sunday- September 6, 2009 of the Janesville Gazette under public record 5 janesville boys ages 12-14 were referred to juvenile authorities on charges of burglary. Police were called to that address at 1:48am for a report of burglary in progress.
None of the 5 boys were detained in the Rock County Juvenile Detention facility. Which is a call made by the Rock County Juvenile Probation Officer on duty that takes the intake call. With the recent release of supervisor 'strong arming' their staff to release juvenile and not detain them in the juvenile detention facility. This is just more proof their is an unethical push to make the Detention facility look useless in our community, when apparently it is very much needed. In the past, 3 to 5 years ago they would be held until court to go in front of the judge. The only way this information is given to the public is by someone who has connection to that facility that feels the public has a right to determine if this is safe? To let 5 boys who are commiting burglary right back into the community immediatly after their crime? I just wonder if the crime is worse like a juvenile stabbing another would they also let them go? Not to mention that the 5 kids who were released will be bragging tuesday morning at school how you can now get away with burglary with no consequesces. This decision to relase these juveniles has set up juvenile crime to now rise in this community. If you are concerened call Daved O'leary's office, call county board members all their information can be located at www.co.rock.wi.us
Looking out for those concerned and myself...
