At the Jewish Family Service, which
will provide panelists, social workers
counsel youngsters who show violent
tendencies with the goal of channeling
those impulses before they present a
danger to themselves or others.
"We're seeing younger kids who are
acting out [these kinds of feelings], and
one of our major roles is
helping parents deal with
that," says Sandra Hyman,
director of Children, Adult
and Family Services. "We
tell these youngsters that
they have a right to have
these feelings but they also
must accept responsibility
for what they do about
them."
Hyman works with par-
ents who have difficulty set-
ting limits and divorced
couples who use their chil-
dren as weapons in their
disagreements.
"Parents must be consistent, demon-
strate positive values and provide a safety
zone," says Hyman, recalling the recent
school shootings in the South, where
youngsters who felt rejected attacked
classmates who were not accepting
them.
Hyman's staff advises teen-agers who
feel rageful to walk away from a trou-
bling situation, cool off and come back
to it, perhaps with an adult mediator.
They advise parents of the early signs of
troubling behavior, which often show up
in school through children who have
difficulty relating to peers or following
limits.
"Testing limits is part of adoles-
cence," she advises, "but it's up to par-
ents to keep firm boundaries."
Oakland County Circuit Judge
Edward Sosnick presides over cases
where young people have broken
through acceptable behavior boundaries,
and he also stresses the importance of
good parenting in crime prevention. He
believes parents have to set the right
examples and thinks forums to discuss
ways of curtailing violence are good
ideas.
"There needs to be a partnership
between parents and the schools, and
schools can be very helpful when they
offer anti-violence programs," says
Sosnick, who has seen people with
sociopathic personalities incapable of
feeling remorse.
The judge recalls two men who met
in a halfway house and discovered that
they were both intrigued with the
Manson case. They planned a crime
spree they hoped would make them
more famous than Manson and tortured

and killed a woman just to hear her
scream. Ultimately, the two were
revealed through a poem that one wrote
to the other.
Loeb believed he would serve a
short prison term and become a movie
star because of all the attention given
to the case.

Tom and Megan Linn and the staff of

Oakland County
Circuit Court Judge
Ed Sosnick will
participate in one
of the follow-up
panel discussions
on violence: "There
needs to be a partner-
ship between parents
and the schools, and
schools can be very
helpful when they
offer anti-violence
programs," he says.

Szechaun Empire North are pleased to

Ellen Yashinsky, director of the
Windows Family Violence Prevention
Program, believes that success in helping
people move away from violence —
when there is not a sociopathic personal-
ity — has a lot to do with the age at
which the violent tendencies, such as
hurting animals, are noted and
addressed.
"The younger the better," she says.
The play also confronts the issue of
capital punishment. In the Frank case,
the killers pled guilty and were given life
sentences.
"There was a lot of material for us to
research for this play," Manfredi says.
"There are several Web sites and a book
by Leopold. This is definitely theater
that makes people think." 1-1
