Judge Ronald Ficarrotta - Chief Judge for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit
Continued from page 12
as of January 1, 2019. The Juvenile
Mental Health court will initially
address the needs of juveniles found
incompetent to proceed. By agreement
of parties and the court, those with
behavioral or mental health issues may
be transferred to Juvenile Mental
Health Delinquency Division B before
being found incompetent. Children
in Division B will be evaluated for
services, provided service referrals,
and be monitored for progress.
That sounds like a lot of change,
and it is. It also proves that the
Thirteenth Circuit is planning for
addressing the needs of the
community we serve in a way that
can have a positive impact. May the
coming days and months bring you
much success and happiness.
