Lawrence is 9 years old and lives with his single mother and three (3) younger siblings
in a shack in an informal settlement. His mother is working long hours trying to provide
for her family, resulting in Lawrence and his siblings often being unsupervised. One
afternoon after school, Lawrence is caught stealing bread and sweets at a shop. He
claims that he was hungry and that he also wanted to give his siblings something to eat.
The shop owner phones the police and Lawrence’s mother is notified.

her how Lawrence will be handled by the police official and the probation officer. (15)

Question 1: Handling of Lawrence by the Police Official and Probation Officer (15
Marks)
Explanation to Lawrence's Mother:
1. Arrest and Detention:
o Given that Lawrence is a minor (9 years old), the police official will handle
the situation with care. Since he is under 10 years old, the law presumes
that he lacks the criminal capacity to be held accountable for his actions.
