State Attorney’s Office Hosts Missing Middle Juvenile Justice Town Hall
ORANGE COUNTY, FL (November 12, 2026) — The Office of State Attorney Monique Worrell hosted another Missing Middle Town Hall on Tuesday night at the Orange County Multicultural Center.
The town hall is part of State Attorney Worrell’s Missing Middle Juvenile Justice Initiative, which brings together community members, legislators, educators, families and justice system stakeholders. The initiative examines gaps in Florida’s juvenile justice system and explores solutions that better serve young people while promoting accountability and public safety.
These conversations are an important part of the initiative’s work, providing an opportunity for diverse voices and perspectives to help shape meaningful discussions about the future of juvenile justice.
“We cannot build a better system for our young people without listening to the people and communities most affected by it,” said State Attorney Monique Worrell. “These conversations are essential to identifying the gaps, challenging the status quo and working together toward better outcomes for our youth and safer communities.”
The State Attorney’s Office thanks everyone who participated and continues to contribute their time and ideas to this important effort.
