When we discuss societal issues like juvenile detention, substance abuse, domestic violence, and incarceration, we often focus on the symptoms rather than the root causes. What if the origins of these crises are deeply woven? The path from childhood abuse to systemic entrapment in institutions like the California Youth Authority, jails, and prisons showcases the urgent need for preventative care and trauma-informed systems. The Scars of Childhood Abuse   Childhood abuse creates invisible wounds that manifest in behaviors society often deems “problematic.” Neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional torment leave children grappling with unresolved trauma, often without the resources or support to heal.
