It has become a severe problem in our society,Kids Who Make a Mistake and get a Youth Criminal Record  are Taboo for Life! Articles when the youth make a terrible life choice and then have to pay for it for many years to come. Many young people who commit crimes will face the fact that they will have a youth criminal record for the next ten years.

What will happen when they finish their probation, their jail time? What will happen when they finish their high school and want to go and find a job? Their youth criminal record will eliminate them from the competition; they will not be able to get a job.

For the time being they can continue and go on to college. But many people now want Universities and colleges to forbid the entrance to people who have a youth criminal record. What will happen then. These kids have so few choices as it is.

What are the choices for Kids with a Youth Criminal Record?

Not many that is for sure. Left with this type of choice many choose the career path that is easiest for them to take, that of continuing on their criminal path. We have then created a career criminal. One who will continue to haunt us, torture us and cause problems for the rest of his life, and ours.

How Can We Help Kids who Have a Youth Criminal Record?

Most of these kids come from low income families and little education. They don’t know how to get around this terrible problem of not being able to get a regular job. They will not be able to come up with creative means of finding work. The only solution is to find new ways of dealing with the youth criminal record. We need to find new ways of helping instead of hindering.

This youth criminal record is going to affect an kids job seeking abilities no matter how qualified he is, or no matter what training programs, or study programs he has taken.

There is hope though; youth background checks only go back as far as ten years. So if a kid has committed a crime when he is 18, he only needs to wait until he is 28 to find a decent job. “What is he supposed to do until then?” Live off of his parents. Remember most people in this bracket are living at the poverty level, the parents probably can’t support him for 10 years, and what kind of qualifications will he have, if he doesn’t work for 10 years. Maybe he will get his doctorates degree right? How likely do you think that will be?

In conclusion, the system we now have in place is not working, will not work for either us or them. We will become their victims in one way or another with the current system in place. We as a society need to find a better solution to this problem of kids having committed a mistake, and us putting them on a path where their only option is to keep on committing the same mistake.
