Bill is only one of the' many teenagers the C.A.S. of Bruce County is called upon to help in the sr/ace of a year. More than half are bOys but the ratio Of girls is increasing. "The teenage girls we are helping may not get' into as much trouble as the boys," said - Mrs. Hendershot, teen counsellor. with. the local Children's Aid Society, "but because they are girlS they are more likely to be noticed .by police and others. •Boys hanging aboutthe street at night are 'almost invisible - but if there's a girl out there, you worry. They are more vulnerable to assault and perhaps too, when a girl wants to stay away, from home all hours, or run away, it is a sign that there must be some real problems in the home. We are now getting teens in care who formerly would have gone to Training Schools. There is a. feeling in GoNi.ernment-: and. judicial bodieS that a child welfare approach is better." . What can the Children's Aid do for these runaways? "We are very anxious to keep them. Out of the welfare system -, Mrs. B. James, Director of the C.A.S. stated: "By that; I mean,. having them see themselves as "CAS kids',' with all the ramifica- tions of foster' care, extended wardship and the rest. When a boy or girl wants to leave home, we try first to see what problems at home can be ameliorated, to the degree that the parents and the child can remain together. "In the case of a boy like Bill, that could mean helping his mother to find a daytime job, • with after-school care for the younger ones; to relieve Bill of responsibilit- ieS that wereloo heaity for him. It means helping him to stay in school long enough to make something of himself. "If teenagers find it impossible to _remain under the parents' roof, an alternative is to find relatives who will board them while they finish school. This too keeps them out of the "system" and in an extended family group. "Only when this fails we try to find a ho,rie for the yot'ng person on the understanding that the teenager will either be at school Or in an apprenticeship while complet- ing the transition to Independ- ence": Can the community afford LUCKNOW PHONE 528-2026 to subsidize these teenagers while they are growing up aw,ay from home? If the alternative is running awaY, perhaps getting into bigger trouble, the C.A.S. believes we can't afford not to help them. The C.A.S. makes a strong effort to prevent chronic Probleins which arise from flaying no marketable skills, from too-early marriages, from lack of family planning, from abuse of „drugs and alcohol all conditions to which runaway teen- agers are vulnerable.
