This is Your FBI: The Delinquent Parents

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents this is your FBI. This is your FBI, an official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, and the Equitable Society is representative in your community.

Tonight's significant story will begin in just a moment. First a brief word from the sponsor of This is Your FBI, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Here at the Equitable Society, we have been working for 86 years on one of the things that you yourself are most concerned about, security for yourself and your loved ones.

When we say you, we mean just that, you who are about to listen to this program. Even if you are not a member of the Equitable Society, you benefit indirectly through the stability that equitable society investments help bring to American industry and business.

Get to know the Equitable Society life insurance representative in your community. You learn that it's a simple statement of exact fact that by serving Equitable Society members, he serves America. Tonight's FBI file, the delinquent parents.

In America today, for every 23 persons, there is one with an arrest record. And the tide of crime is rising. The greatest number of arrests in all age groups is of boys and girls 17 years old, and the number is growing.

Tonight's case from the juvenile files of your FBI is a drop of water in the rising tide. There is a popular fallacy that youthful law violators are most always products of poverty or underprivileged. If this were true, Abraham Lincoln might well have become the arch-criminal of his day.
