website, Youth Justice System.

http://www.children.gov.on.ca/htdocs/English/youthandthelaw/index.aspx

Paragraph: This website talks about Youth Justice System. It starts off by explaining that the Youth Justice System of Ontario falls into place for adolescents from the age of twelve to eighteen. That the adolescents have the privilege to be treated differently than adults due to them being not yet as developed as adults.  After that part it says that the juvenile system is different from the adult one. The individuals that make the decisions if a Youth can be charged as the offender are called the Youth Criminal Justice Act. They always feel necessity for the chance for the government to have different answers. Ontario’s programs and services align with three elements. These elements consist of research of reducing reoffending, improving outcomes for youth and finally the principles of the Youth Offenders Act. Ontario allows the providing of support and opportunities to youth to assist them with five components. These four are being responsible for your actions, make better choices, get an education or job, learn important  life skills and lastly contribute to their communities.

This is one of the perfect resources to answer the part of the question that is “ what is the role of a parent / guardian.

Description
This site is called the Hague Convention. "The Hague Convention protects children and their families against the risks of illegal, irregular, premature or ill-prepared adoptions abroad."

Family interviews about their experiences adopting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLfrEwmcrLg

Description
This video is about the experiences of different Chinese children and their families after their adoptions. I chose this video because one country that Canadians have adopted from a lot is china, also this is the experience of Chinese children who are now Canadian. This is a reliable source because it is primary information not secondary. This has not been passed on to the families being interviewed. I love this source because you get the parents story but you also get the Child's point of view. This resource is different yet still helpful because no it is not about the different steps that are taken to adopt a child, but it's actually about the families experiences. There are 4 stories of different girls touching on them when they were adopted and a little bit about their lives now. In conclusion this is a great source because unlike the others it is unique, for, it as described is about experience not protocol and instructions (which are also things to know of) but this is extremely important because there is no point in an adoption if the family members or the child aren’t happy. This interview is all about how the new families feel about how the adoption and that they are happy or not.

This site is called “ Filing a Divorce in Canada : The Steps Involved in the Process “  On this page, there are steps to show you or whoever is reading this, the actual process of a ( filing a ) divorce. As it shows on the website, there is something called No-fault divorce, which requires “ a completion of a 1 year separation period. “ Then there is something called Fault divorces. This type of divorce is very different then the No-fault divorce. In a fault divorce, someone basically files a divorce, and normally the reason they do this is because of cruelty. In this type of divorces you have to have evidence. There are two more types. The first one is called Uncontested divorce and the second one is called Contested divorce. In a uncontested divorce, both of them agree on the divorce. With a contested divorce, it is pretty much the opposite. Both of them do not agree on the divorce and ”are required to file a separate divorce application. “ This source is very helpful. It gives a step-by-step guide on how this works.

This is a really great website that I found it’s actually the website for the YCJA, Youth Criminal Justice Act. The part I was looking at was under sentencing options. There are a couple different tabs on this website which is really helpful if you're looking for something specific. There’s an overview some different articles, a scenario, a summary and a couple others tabs as well. The overview just states what you’re going to learn if you chose to read further. The two articles are both about different things which are Judge Considerations, and Sentencing Options. The scenario is based on a real case between two teenagers you can find the link to the case on the page. I found the scenario really well written but also harsh, like they explained everything quite well, which might not have been a good thing. But overall this is a really good site, it’s very helpful, it holds lots of really good information, it’s a youth site so it’s not to detailed, and it's a valid source, I highly recommend it.

This is an article about an actual case that was heard in Canada about a boy who was charged with first degree murder. This boy was thought to be under the influence of a gang. He was fourteen when he committed the crime. During the case it was a huge debacle whether or not to sentence this young boy, who is still a juvenile, with an adult sentence. If he is sentenced with an adult sentence it would mean he would be considered an adult and go to jail for the appropriate period of time (which could mean life). But even if he is charged like an adult he will still go to a youth penitentiary until he turns eighteen. If you like reading about actual scenarios than this is a goud article for you, it explains the details about the case without naming the boy who did it, or anyone he had possibly interacted with, it also doesn’t give any gory details.
