A court has warned a 14 year old boy against future
appearances in the dock in relation to crime.
The minor spent eight days in custody charged for stealing
sh 2,000 money from his mother’s wallet and disappearing from home for two
days.
A makadara court released the boy after his mother forgave
him aloud from the dock but warned that next time he would be imprisoned.
The boy’s mother shed tears while withdrawing the case even
before he denied or accepted the charges. She told the court she wanted her son
arrested for his own safety when she reported to police on August 27 th.
The mother was contacted on 29 th by the Chief of
Githurai area informing of her sons custody at the camp.
The court heard that the boy rarely sleeps at home as he moves
around in a gang within Sunton Estate in Kasarani.
Before his release the boy confused the court claiming that
his mother stirred the situation in court when he insisted he wanted to live with
his biological father away from his step father .
The 32 year old mother told the magistrate that he was stubborn
and failed attending school. She asked the court for guidance since she already
paid a year’s school fees in vain.
Principal Magistrate Rose Otieno released the child under section
204 of the penal code.
