History
Back in 1954, the plight of the runaway was given nationwide publicity by a series of
Parade Magazine articles entitled “Nobody’s Children.” As a sequel to the series and their
own recognition that action was required, various organizations sought to develop
remedial legislation. Efforts were directed toward formulating an interstate agreement
to cover multi-state problems involving juveniles. Identified needs included procedures
to permit the return of runaways, absconders and escapees who were found in
other states, and also for a system under which juvenile offenders
could be supervised in other states. The Interstate Compact on Juveniles and the Association of Juvenile
Compact Administrators are the ultimate results of these efforts.
