Hinkle proposes parents being responsible for their children
NEWS RELEASE
State Rep. Phillip D. Hinkle
Indiana House Republican Caucus
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, Aug. 1, 2008
Rep. Hinkle Works on Juvenile Detention Law
Requires Parents to Take Responsibility
(Statehouse) Aug. 1, 2008 – After discussions with community members, law enforcement and the Legislative Services Agency (LSA), Rep. Phil Hinkle (R-Indianapolis) announced that he is drafting legislation dealing with juveniles under court jurisdiction. Rep. Hinkle has considered the legislation for two months, but the recent robbery at Don’s Guns made him move forward with the proposal.
Rep. Hinkle met with government attorneys to work on the legislation. The legislation, still in the drafting process, would require parents to take more responsibility when their children are under the jurisdiction of the courts.
If a child under court jurisdiction were caught breaking curfew or committing another offense, the parents would face penalties.
“This issue was brought to my attention while attending the Pike Township Residents Association meeting,” stated Rep. Hinkle. “The concern was that children convicted of crimes were ignoring their home detention and causing more problems in the community. One way I see to curb this behavior is to make parents responsible for their child’s action.
“Police arrested fourteen-year-old twins in the west side robbery of Don’s Guns last week. The juveniles have been arrested numerous times already this year. Something needs to be done.”
Rep. Hinkle encourages parents and community members to provide any input they feel will help address the problem of children being repeat offenders. Rep. Hinkle can be reached at 232-9600, h92@iga.in.gov or 200 West Washington St. Rm. 401-3 Indianapolis, IN 46204.
“As one community minister said best, ‘This was no longer just the police department’s problem to solve; it is up to all of us.’”
Rep. Hinkle continues to encourage residents to present ideas they have for legislation. Most legislation is drafted during the summer and fall months. The next general assembly will meet for Organization Day in Nov., and the regular session will begin in Jan. 2009.
