I believe that the laws on treatment of children in juvenile detention are too loose and should be changed. This is because there are many cases of children being abused and mistreated in juvenile detention. For example in August 2014 there was video evidence that six young boys that were tear gassed and abused in  the Don Dale Youth Detention Center in Darwin. Another example is of a young boy named Dylan Volar, who grew up with anger issues so it was hard for his mother to cope so he had to get sent to juvenile detention. The first time he was sent there was when he was 10 years old and he has been in and out for the last nine years. During that time detention he was often chained to a chair and hooded, or even thrown into isolation for up to 200 days at a time. I want the laws to change so that case like these will never happen again so that these children are not scarred mentally or physically by the time they get out. It is experiences like this that contribute to the children getting more uncontrollable and more likely to re-offend.
