Here is an amazing quote from our own Sharon Hines in the latest news story about advocacy at the Juvenile Board:
. . . . "Community Frontline, an east Fort Worth advocacy group, and the Justice Network of Tarrant County, held a press conference Wednesday in support of Youth Advocate Programs. . 'My heart is broken because this is 2024, we’re fighting a program that has 100% success rate of their kids,' said Sharon Hines, an Air Force veteran and member of the Justice Network. 'They go to high school, they get their GEDs, they get jobs. Why would we be against that program? Tarrant County is scary.'” . . . .
