He’s not your son
"\^hy worry—when other people’s kids run wild? (S
Why worry—when teen-agers at the rate of a thousand
a day are getting into jams with the law?
P* Why worry—when right here in this country young
' sters are being brought to court charged, not with pranks
of mischief, but with robbery and assault?
¥ And it’s getting worse! Last year, nationally, arrests
of boys under 21 increased 10.5% over the year before.
Arrests of girls under 21 were 30% higher than before
the war. And more than half (55.7%, to be exact) of all
persons charged with robbery—as well as 72% of those
accused of stealing autos—were under 25 years of age!
T So you and every other citizen OUGHT to worry.
Because it is your community. Because juvenile de
linquency spreads like plague . . . one mind influencing
another ... one kid foolishly trying to “follow the
leader.” j
