In an effort to reform the Luzerne County's juvenile justice system, one area advocacy organization wants input from those families affected by the corruption scandal.

Counselors and legal experts met with families Thursday evening in Wilkes-Barre.

Members of the mental health organization, Advocacy Alliance, discuss the possible repercussions the Luzerne County corruption scandal may have caused hundreds of juveniles and their families.

At Genetti's in Wilkes-Barre, counselors and legal experts met with families at an informational forum.

"We're going to be giving updates and answer any questions the families may have about what's been happening and especially now that the judges have pulled their guilty pleas back, what that means," said Kathy Wallace with Advocacy Alliance.

This forum comes just days after two former Luzerne County judges, Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan, withdrew their guilty pleas for allegedly sending children to a privately run detention center in exchange for money. The two judges are among several people to be caught up in a federal corruption probe into the juvenile justice system in Luzerne County.

Kathy Wallace said her organization also wants input from families affected on how the system could be fixed.

"See what they would like to see changed because who becomes better advocates for change than people who have going through something," said Wallace.

Information collected at this meeting will then be turned over to a commission, set up by state lawmakers to look into what went wrong in the Luzerne County Juvenile Justice System and to find ways to fix it.

To get help to families as soon as possible and to collect input more efficiently, the Advocacy Alliance has also set up a Facebook account and a toll-free 24 hour phone service.

"It's very private, it's confidential, people don't have to give their names," said Wallace.
