Karen Chhour: Children's Minister on the teen offender dropping out of youth boot camp pilot two weeks in
Manage episode 434105382 series 2098282
The Children's Minister says it's unsurprising a young offender has dropped out of the Government boot camp pilot just two weeks in.
Participants can opt out under current legislation, although the Government plans to amend the law.
Minister Karen Chhour says she won't go into detail on why they left, to protect their privacy, but staff expected this possibility.
She says the programme includes wrap-around support.
"We're making sure that we could get them in front of a judge to change their sentencing plan - so this young person hasn't got off lightly. They're still completing their sentence, it'll just be at another facility."
