Teen Court offers innovative, effective way to give youth a second chance

Sheboygan County Teen Court is a collaborative effort between Sheboygan County Circuit Court Judge Natasha Torry, the Sheboygan Area School District, and Health and Human Services Youth Justice, facilitated by Social Worker Lizzy Kroll. This is a Youth Justice alternative that aims to promote youth development and uses restorative justice practices as a response to youth behavior, as opposed to the traditional, punitive responses of receiving a citation or a law enforcement referral to Youth Justice.

A bright autumn afternoon. What more could I ask for? It’s the last Tuesday of September, our weekly harvest day, just like all the Tuesdays that have come before it since June. Except today I’m a little under the weather, what with the cold, damp mornings finally catching up to my nose and throat. I’ll survive, but I’d sure like my health back, so I don’t have to miss out on too much of the day’s activities. I’m hanging back a bit, managing the day from the shadows, and watching it go by.
