4 Troubled Teens Blog

Richmond County (Georgia) Juvenile Court Judge Willie Saunders has seen a lot of kids come through his courtroom. While he admits that he's saddened by what he's seen, he also admits that he isn't shocked.

Now, a new program called "Change Your Mind: One Degree at a Time" will aim to help kids turn their lives around.An Aug. 12 report on the website of NBC Augusta provided the following details about the program:

For 26 weeks, [Rev. Devon] Harris will work closely with troubled teens, finding out what their goals are, analyzing the positive and negative things in their lives, and try to get them back on the right track. ...

"It's basically to reprogram a young man. It goes 180 degrees backwards. It's war games helping teens figure out where they are going in life," said Harris.

The Richmond County program is slated to begin in September.
