VICIOUS YOUTHS
BEFORE " CHILDREN’S ” COURT. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, April 9. Fifteen boys were charged in the Children’s Court to-day with indecently assaulting a girl. The police stated the ages of the boys were from fourteen to seventeen and the girl was fourteen. The Magistrate. Mr M’Neill, said that in the public interest the facts should be known as a warning to parents. There were many bad features in the case, and one of them was the admission that the boys had occasionally had intoxicants. After commenting on the lack of parental control, the Magistrate committed one boy to the care of the Child Welfare Superintendent, ordering that he should be sent to an industrial school. The others were all placed under the supervision of the Welfare Officer.
