The aim of this essay is to explore the powerful impact that, in the absence of public debate, the recent so-called Cartabia reform in civil matters potentially has in the field of Italian juvenile justice. Considered in the context of a general retreat of public intervention in the protection of the social rights, the discussion about this reform offers the opportunity to draw attention to problematic issues, at the center of old debates, which are linked to some crucial issues of Platt’s The Child Savers. Among others, the role of childhood experts within juvenile justice institutions, as well as the “functional” ambivalence that has characterized these institutions since their origins
