\nProbably the hottest controversy in juvenilejustice today concerns what to do with statusoffenders.Prestigious national commissions [CJN6/20/77],as well as major criminal justice organiza-tions [CJN 8/2/76],have split over whether to retainjurisdiction over status offenders in the juvenilejustice system or to turn these youths entirely overto the social service agencies.In the following recentletter to LEAA juvenile justice chief John Rector,acopy of which has been given to CJN,the director ofthe new statewide Children in Need of Servicesprogram in Massachusetts describes how the care ofstatus offenders has now been shifted almostcompletely to the social service system in her state.  \nBy Elizabeth W.VorenbergMassachusetts State CHINS Coordinator  \nI think that in many respects we may have mademore progress on status offender services than moststates.  \nAlthough the status offender(Children in Needof Services)law here,which dates to January 1974,is considered by some to be liberal-and indeed itseffect is to decriminalize status offenses-it stillpermits detention,the use of bail and overnightarrests for runaways.Despite the vagueness andpunitive aspects of the law,I believe we are dealingwith CHINS in a manner that meets the spirit andpurposes of the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Pre-vention Act.  \nSince the first of July,the Department of PublicWelfare has had the major responsibility for dealingwith CHINS.This responsibility came to us byadministrative agreement among the human serv-ices agencies,since the law only mandates usspecifically to place adjudicated CHINS.Prior toJuly,the Department of Youth Services provideddetention to CHINS.Other services for pre-adjudicated CHINS were ad hoc at best.  \nNew Statewide System  \nAs of July 1,however,a statewide system wentinto effect through the program which I administer.Forty welfare workers are available to the 70 oddjuvenile courts and district courts with juvenilesessions to receive referrals at the earliest possiblestage in the CHINS court process.The CHINSworkers are available to the court officers to do crisisintervention work with families,provide emergencyshelter if necessary,and —if the court so wishes -place youths on whom bail has been set.However,all placements are in shelter care(small grouphomes or foster homes)so that essentially we makeno distinction between\"detention\"and shelter.  \nAll chiefs of police have been notified of ouremergency shelter network so as to
