"I think it is discrimination against kids whose parents are too proud to ask for anything" This is an ignorant statement to make. The program I believe is based on what families the school social worker recommends. The Sheriffs department should be commended that the Deputies take more time away from their families to contribute to such a wonderful program. Many children only deal with Law Enforcement when there is trouble, this program shows kids that Law enforcement is very approachable & do take time out for them. If you need help & are too proud to ask for it than that is your hang up & has nothing to do with the Sheriffs Department.
