Members of a joint select committee reviewing the Child Diversion Act, 2018 have suggested that children deemed “uncontrollable” should not be placed in state homes and institutions. Instead, the members said, they should be referred to the Child Diversion Programme, where they can benefit from mentorship and psychological support. Committee Chairman Delroy Chuck argued that one of the greatest problems plaguing most societies is that when children get into trouble, they are placed in institutions that do not help them.
