Under present legislation, the child is made a ward of the CAS or of the training school for an indefinite period. In actual fact, his normal period in a training school is less than a year but his wardship is-maintained so that he can be given after-care super- vision and help in the commun- Secs. 30 (l) (f), 30 (1) (h) and 30(1) (i) ignore the fact that at the time the child is before the court, it is impossible to state how long his case supervision and treatment should continue. Form 12 (ix) makes it apparent that a child is committed to a training school for a definite pe- riod---a period which may seem appropriate at the time but which may be too long or too short. There have been several cases like the example given. Murder is an act which is rarely repeat- ed by adults. Even more rarely is it repeated by children. In most cam where this act has been committed by a child, his remorse is great and his potential for re- habilitation is such that he is usually returned to the Commun- ity before he is is. _ For example. the effect of Sec. 30 (l) and See. It (4) is that a 14-yearoid who is adjudged to have murdered his grandmother is committed to a training school until he is 21--for seven years he has to wait, conscious of the fact that at the end of that time he will be sentenced by the court for an offence commit- ted seven years earlier. This is totally inhuman and intolerable; it completely ignores the fact that the child may have changed drastically long before he is 21. children are shocked by the hack- nrd leap the Canadian lunar mm! is making by pmposing a You; Offenders Act. This bill is in fact, a criminal code [or children which is dis- tasteful in its terminology, legal- istic in its approach and punitive irtiueffect.

Sec. 74 (1) gives the court the power, in cases where it wish- es to do so, to order the child to be fingerprinted and photograph- ed-records of which are for- warded to the RCMP. Under present legislation, the court does not have the authority to photograph or fingerprint a Juvenile. Presently, the child is not dealt with as a criminal. As he has been adjudged delinquent and not considered a criminal, his "record" is confidential and cannot be used against him at a later date. There is no "of- fence”topardon. Under present legislation, the child is dealt with under the sev- eral dispositions presently avail- able to the court-if he is still a ward of the training school, he would in all probability be return- ed to training school and rarely face a charge in adult court. Any doubt that the yomg person (i.e., over the age of 10) is in fact being dealt with as a criminal is removed by Sec. 35 (6) and Sec. 75 which make it clear that his "offence will be recorded and could be used at a later date unless he seeks a par- ter-care; ”My the child In lelttofendlorhlmoeu.
