Add Juveniles to Sex Offender Lists or Lose Grants

KSBItv.com (Oklahoma) : Add Juveniles to Sex Offender Lists or Lose Grants.

The state could see a 10 percent decrease in their grant if they don't start adding juveniles to the sex offender lists.

The executive director at the Office of Juvenile Affairs said that complying with the act may not even be worth it, because the state would be losing even more money with costly programs added to the system.

"Complying with the Walsh Act may cost more than the grants that's going to be saved," said Gene Christian, Executive Director at the Office of Juvenile Affairs.
