This case study description/facts can be found below:
James is a 15-year-old boy who has been arrested by the South Australian police and charged with breaking and entering a property. He was caught in a neighbor’s house searching through the cupboards and with the neighbor’s lap-top, video equipment and mobile phone in a shoulder bag which he had brought into the premises.
The police were called when the neighbor returned home unexpectedly and found a back window had been broken and James was in their house. James was taken into police custody and called James’ parents to attend an interview at the police station and James was then released on bail and returned to reside in the family home. James’ parents are very distressed and anxious about this and about attending family conferencing through the SA Youth Court. James has not broken the law before or been in trouble with the police.
