As a re sult Many parents May not know the kinds of Trou ble their children can get into. Winnipeg s inner City police department feels that samplings of specific problems real problems encountered in this area May help Many parents take positive Steps to see that their children Aren t involved in similar Circum stances. To this cud a series of reports on Juve Nile delinquency written by the inner City police department itself will be carried each week by the free press. This article is one in the series. One Hundred and Twenty five juveniles were handled by the Winnipeg inner City police during the past week resulting in 60 detentions 47 boys and 13 girls in the Manitoba youth Centre and the remaining 65, 52 boys and 13 girls were turned Over to their parents and warned for juvenile court. Seventy nine of these Juve Niles had been in Contact with the police before and 46 were first offenders. A number of the latter will be attending the voluntary class held by the juvenile Branch of the depart ment. Here Are a number of selected cases that bring Home important Points for parents and children alike. Last week i reported an As Sault by three girls on another girl in the Westdale area and said that violence by girls was becoming commonplace. Another serious Case was re ported this week from the North end when. Three girls two 14 years old and a 13-year old assaulted another 13 y e a r o 1 d girl in the same school. The girl said she went to her locker when the other three girls came up to her and told her they were going to beat her up. They pushed her around but she finally got away from them and left the school. While she was walking Home the three appeared again and forced her into a one of the girls pulled at her and knocked her books and coat to the ground. Although she said she did not want to fight she was slapped and punched in the face and was thrown to the ground where her hair pulled. She was also kicked in the Back several times. She got up and ran Down the Lane towards Home but was caught again kicked in the stomach and legs and had her Blouse and brassiere torn. Her father came out of the House and chased the girls away and phoned the police. When these girls were spoken to it was found that one deliberately started the fight one assisted slightly and the other had done nothing. The instigator was placed in the Manitoba youth Centre the one who assisted was warned for juvenile court and the third severely cautioned. The senseless part of this was that it started Over a Sim ple push in the school hallway the Day before but was continued because one of the girls wanted to have a fight. Her two friends went along with her and one even assisted. The girl that was assaulted did everything she could not to get involved. This is a difficult situation to give advice because students have their own rules of behaviour. One of those rules say Don t go to the but in this Case she should have gone. Principals of schools know their students better than you think and can Stop a lot of this kind of behaviour without losing face with her friends. Another bit of advice to Stu dents who have friends that like to beat people up is that they Tell this person they will no longer be friends with them if they fight. Everyone needs friends but friends like this can Only get you into serious trouble. People who beat up for the fun of it Are sick and need professional help.
