The facility I work for currently has 135 residents in it, maxing out at 165.
12 of those residents are from Randolph County.
Doesn't sound like a big deal?
Well, get this: this facility is also currently working with 38 different counties.
38!!!
If these numbers were distributed evenly, that would be a little more than 3 kids per county.
But no! It's just a couple here, a couple there, then BAM! 12 from good 'ol Randolph.
Out of all the counties we have children from, Randolph County has the second highest number!!! Madison County is at number 1 with 14 residents under our care.
So, what's up with Randolph County? They even have their own facility which usually keeps a consistent head-count of 13.
So really, we're looking at 25 juvenile delinquents produced by Randolph County. And that's only counting ones under treatment as opposed to more punitive placements such as detention alternatives.
As of 2007, Randolph had 25, 859 people in it. So based on population, Randolph County is relatively small-to-medium sized.
So, what's up with Randolph County ???

Living in Randolph Co. I'd have to agree that there are a lot of juvenile delinquents, many of whom are still roaming the streets causing mischief and mayhem. So if only 25 are incarcerated I'd say that's only a small percentage of those that actually should be. lol Now I know why Pastor K has decided on homeschooling for his daughter. :]
Unfortunately, the stats do not surprise me. All the more reason to be aggressive as a church to see Christ transform lives! We can't play spiritual patty-cake while our children are going to hell.
