Young boy's violent behaviour leaves Winnipeg police at wit's end
Sub-Category: Issues in Criminal Law
Date: August 24, 2016
Source: cbc.ca
Summary: A young boy in Winnipeg has been involved in increasingly violent crimes such as theft, arson, break-ins and a stabbing. The boy is under 12, and therefore cannot be charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, but the police say he’s been on the radar for years. Police have also recognized that his parents have faced many charges and have served time behind bars, so he probably has not been raised right.
