Comments for OAS Demands that Brazil Stop Treating Juvenile Delinquents as Animals at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 4 out of 4 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:47:57 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5653/1/#pc_2417 These people are criminals, delinquents. Society had rightly decided that they do not belong in the common mix, because they cannot be trusted. To call them \'adolescents\', in a neutral way, is to whitewash them. And as for \'adolescents in the phase of development\' is just pinko speak for \'let\'s just love all the evil-doers and they will be nice to us\'. The truth is they\'ll just hate you anyway. Be tough on the buggers, and beat some religion into them. - Guest Wed, 01 Mar 2006 07:38:35 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5653/1/#pc_2486 Point taken from previous post. I am really amazed by what I have read on this website and have come to the conclusion that Brazil is an illusion, a fantasy. These were just ideas, and thought Brazilian lawmakers and Brazilian nationals were enthusiastic about change, obviously I was so wrong, what a dodgy society. Do lawmakers deserve their appointed posts if what they do is all about self interest? Brazilians will have to decide for themselves. - Guest Tue, 28 Feb 2006 01:15:14 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5653/1/#pc_2459 No one should forget that Brazil still has slaves...TODAY ! So why would anyopne expect a good treatment of juvenile deliquents. No need either to create, a new government department. Laws and government ministries exist, but no one aplly the existing laws ! - Guest Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:57:36 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5653/1/#pc_2476 I agree completely with the writer of this article and that these recommendation should be adherd to but, this problem goes much deeper than that as it appears Brazil clearly has a \'Family Problem\'. I believe, MENTORING IS a critical intervention statergy to help save children who are increasingly becoming casualties of the breakdown of modern families. Serious attention must be paid to children, and young people as violence is a long development process that starts in early childhood. This does not only mean that Brazil has a problem with violence, it means Brazil also has a, \'Family Problem\'. In order to help to curb the rise of criminality amoung the youth, especially the boys, I think the Ministry of Education should seriously consider introducing a, \'Prevent &\'Dropout Programme\' which should be aimed at targetting volatile communities so it can identify at-risk boys. This double-pronged intervention is currently needed in Brazil, but first ministers have to find a way to disarm the current population of young criminals, and second, ministers must cauterise this problem by stemming the production of any new crime recruits. This is where the Prevent & Dropout Programme could be introduced to assist in these areas. This Government could, if it wishes, also introduce a \'Ministry of Family Affairs\' to look into the reconstruction of family life. Fix familes and you fix Brazil. However, there are no quick fix solutions to this situation. But, it can be done, if this Government is commited, as experts now realise that everything starts from within the HOME..... - Guest Mon, 27 Feb 2006 11:45:10 +0100
