Seventeen-year-olds in today's justice system

Wisconsin Council on Children & Families invite the public to join them for an open forum next Thursday to learn what it means for our state's 17-year-olds to be charged and tried as adults, and be given adult consequences. What does it mean for our public safety and our youth's future? According to a media release, various community leaders will be taking part in the discussion about Wisconsin's 17-year-olds who are in the justice system.

When: Thursday, Nov. 30, 2006 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Where: Oshkosh North High School
