Minister Anna Sporrer plans a new law. The law is ready in autumn. It is for children under 14 years. These children did bad acts. They live in small home groups.
They get good help there. Experts look after the children. The goal is care and protection. Children do not go to jail. A jail is not a place for children.
The children stay there for some time. They move away from bad friends. Older people often push them to do crimes. The law protects the children from bad acts.
The age for law rules stays at 14 years. Children under 14 do not go to court. But the state takes over the care for them. This happens when the raising of the child fails.
