Education and reintegration for street children FAR’s program

We are delighted to inform you that Franck is back at home!  The trial was held, and although Franck was found guilty of the two charges – robbery and attempted robbery – he and his 5 friends were set free thanks to the intervention of the head of the Minors Court, who advocated clemency to the 3 judges on the case.  The Tribunal accepted the petition, but not without a stern warning to the boys that if they appear again in their courts they will not receive the lenient treatment they got this first time.

Franck has not yet admitted his guilt, and we aren’t quite convinced that he has “learned his lesson,” so we will ask the advice of the head of the court’s youth division about how to avoid Franck’s possibly returning to his old ways.

We have faith that we will be able to help Franck learn his lesson, so he understands how lucky he was this time and stays away from the dangers of the street.
