A committee organized to overhaul the children's code in the Oklahoma statutes discussed the possibility of extending that to the Youthful Offender Act during a report by the Office of Juvenile Affairs. Oklahoma County Special Judge Roger Stuart told his fellow members on the Children and Juvenile Law Reform Committee it was his opinion the Youthful Offender Act was "a mistake" that was "turning our juvenile system into an adult system." Stuart suggested going back to the reverse certification system that had existed prior to the Youthful Offender Act, which was implemented in 1998.
We're not serving our original mission of dealing with kids who commit crime," Stuart said.
