the road to hell is paved with good intentions (Score 1)

It's obvious that the idea springs from the best of intentions. It's also obvious that not only can the system be willfully abused, but that it will often result unintentionally in improper consequences for 'troubled' youngsters ... After perusing the WaveAmerica web site, I think that three things are vital if this is to be at all a good thing: that Pinkerton screen calls judiciously; that they report serious calls fairly; and most importantly, that the schools handle them responsibly and give equal weight to the needs of all concerned. On the whole, though, I am doubtful that this is necessary or even that the good it does will outweigh the bad.
