In a harrowing case of injustice, a vulnerable 14-year-old boy with special needs was wrongly jailed and held in maximum security prison. Suffering from mental health issues and a developmental disability, the boy was unable to comprehend the charges against him or receive adequate support. His detention in such a harsh environment posed significant risks to his well-being, exacerbating his mental health struggles and denying him access to appropriate treatment and education. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for systemic reform to ensure that children with special needs are protected from such cruel and inappropriate punishments.
