Hey everyone, I was thinking about how Will Vasquez's case has brought so much attention to the topic of juvenile justice reform in Connecticut. A part of me can't help but wonder if some of the dialogue around this is missing the point. Will's mom had been advocating for stricter measures to keep him monitored, yet her voice seemingly wasn't heard in the decisions that were made about his supervision. It's frustrating and terribly sad to see a system that might have been able to offer some protection fall short like this. I’ve read that during the press conference, Will's family looked absolutely devastated yet determined to ensure other families don’t suffer the same fate. Their strength in advocating for change, even amidst such a tragedy, is really something. I just hope that the attention this case is getting prompts real action and reflection, so we don't see more young lives lost. Where do you all stand on this topic? Do you think tighter measures could have made a difference?
