It was a banal conflict between children that knocked the two brothers to the ground and left them with wounds on their backs. While showing the wounds of both boys, the mother accuses police station number 2 of not acting and that the police did not arrest the minors who injured the children.
But due to juvenile-friendly justice, the police insists that after taking the generals of the perpetrators, even those under age, let them go free as the law forbids it.
"I want them to receive the punishment, to understand the mistake they made. I gave the report to the police, I told them their names, but the police did not arrest them", says the 17-year-old.
"I am worried. They came to the door of my house, they were with knives, said their mother.
The Juvenile Justice Code entered into force in January 2018, and since then the Ministry of Justice had the obligation to make functional some structures that must deal specifically with minors who are in conflict with the law, i.e. who are perpetrators of criminal offenses. One of them is the structure that controls the measures of restriction of freedom given by the court and the other structure that supervises the educational measure. The latter must have been, almost the same as what was once known as the vagabond school.
The prosecutor's office and the police inform Top Channel that during 2023 the number of children involved in crimes tripled, starting from conflicts originating from social networks, massive fights for intimate reasons, bullying, threats, injury, theft, distribution and possession of doga. as well as driving without a license. But currently there is only the juvenile institute in Kavaje.
The Juvenile Code promises the highest interest of the child. Therefore, in addition to what the courts and the prosecution apply, which is to avoid punishment, they should also announce an educational measure. But so far he has given only one, which belongs to a 13-year-old child who tried to kill his peer. Because it was not implemented due to the lack of structure, the court has no longer announced such decisions.
The sentence of restraining the minor has been announced only in two cases, one of them against the child who isolated his mother at home after asking her for money to buy drugs.
"I'm afraid to go out, I feel like they're going to come and attack me"
