>> well, my mom died when i was a year old. i never knew my dad. one of my mom's sisters adopted me when i was about 9 years old. but she had breast cancer, and they got a divorce. i went to my grandpa's house. that didn't work out. so i got sent to my aunt's house, and i just don't get along with them. i had major depression. so i didn't want to go to school. i used to be 245 pounds, too. i was huge. it was bad. >> if ever there was a time for someone, a system to intervene in their life, it's now. that's what the juvenile court does best. that's what our role is, to provide for all the services to help somebody grow into a responsible, productive person. >> in marie's case, being called before the juvenile court allowed her to get the help she needed. >> they sent me to this place called christian haven. it's a placement to help my attitude. it helped me lose weight and
