Any child can become a criminal if being ignored
by parents or lack of support/love by

as parents/society/family should always support

path. This would not only enlighten their future
but also make this world a peaceful to live on, and
to be a good example for young people.
 RECOMMENDATION
The most effective way to prevent juvenile delinquency has indisputably
been to assist children and their families early on. Numerous state
programs attempt early intervention, and federal funding for community
initiatives has allowed independent groups to tackle the problem in new
ways.education and youth employment opportunities, enhancing social
skills, and providing youth with mentors and adult role models, and
making organizations or scholarship program for young children who
can't go in schools, and Build a sports facilities for a youth that they can
enjoy, have fun and to eliminate their problem so that they can avoid
doing wrong things
 QOUTATION
“Juvenile crime is not naturally born in the boy,
but is largely due either to the spirit of adventure
that is in him, to his own stupidity, or to his lack
of discipline, according to the nature of the
individual.”
