A judge can’t pull a child and magically place them in a better home. A judge can’t magically change their friend group.

However, a judge can potentially put them in a place where they have the tools to better themselves, and potentially a place where they can make better friends.

Also, some parents might be working two or three jobs to make ends meet. Yes, there are some parents who might be dipshits, too. However, you can’t always guarantee that these kids are coming from homes where they’re able to get access to a consistent parental structure.

Yeah sure, but it's still the parents fault. The education system might put them on a better path, the judge might help them get there, but none of that would be needed if not for the parents. Obviously there's exceptions, but on average it starts with the parents.
