A 5-year-old and two 6-year-old boys were apprehended by police for sexual assault last year.
They were among 716 children aged under nine who were reprimanded in the 2008/09 financial year for offences from unlawfully taking a bicycle and possession of cannabis to threatening to kill and assault with a weapon.
The youngest children apprehended in 2008/09 included a 4-year-old girl, two 5-year-old girls and five 5-year-old boys.
They were reprimanded for dishonesty offences such as shoplifting, burglary or theft of property valued under $500.
I think this is a problem (SERIOUS) problem because these kids are destined for Crimanal behaviour later in life.
But as it says "children who committed crimes generally modelled their behaviour on that of their parents" So this is what needs to be stopped.
