This was a fifteen year old boy.... He was caught stealing bread from a store. On trying to escape from the hold of the guard, a shelf of the store was also broken. *The judge heard the crime and asked the boy, “Did you really steal something, a loaf of bread and cheese?”* The boy responded by looking down.;- *“Yes.”* *Judge:* - “Why?” *Boy:* - “I needed it.” *Judge:* - “Couldn't you have bought?” *Boy:* - “There was no money.” *Judge:* - “Take it from the family.” *Boy:* - “There is only a mother in the house. Sick and unemployed. *Judge:* - “You don't do anything?” *Boy:* - “Used to wash a car. When I took a day off to take care of my mother, I was fired.” *Judge:* - “Don’t you ask someone for help?” *Boy:* - “Had left the house since morning, went to about fifty (50) people, but no help; so, I decided to take this step at the very end.” *When the arguments ended, the judge began to pronounce the verdict;* ... “the theft and especially the stealing of Bread by a hungry boy is a very shameful crime and we are all responsible for this crime." *Every person in the court, including me, is guilty and a perpetrator, so every person present here is fined ten dollars each. No one can get out of here without giving ten dollars.”* Saying this, the judge took ten dollars out of his own pocket and then picked up the pen and started writing name accordingly: *- ‘In addition, I fine the store a thousand dollars for handing over a hungry child to the Police.’* *‘If the penalty is not deposited within 24 hours, the court will order to seal the store.’ also the Police is fined the same amount for charging a hungry boy to court.* 'By giving the full amount of fine to this boy, the court asks for forgiveness from that boy.' After hearing the verdict, tears were pouring from the eyes of the people present in the court, that boy's handcuffs were also untied. The boy was watching the judge again and again, who came out hiding his tears. *Are our society, systems and courts ready for such a decision?* *if a hungry person is caught stealing bread, then the people of that country should be ashame.* If this touches your heart: chose someone to give succour... *People around you should not sleep without food’* Happy Sunday 1 Like

Mokason288: Just as someone posted earlier, kids aren't hungry in Onitsha As for those burnt in Onitsha recently, they were caught collecting illegal tax. I know you all tolerate such illegality in your region reason why someone like Tinubu will hold an entire state and region to ransom collecting illegal taxes for over two decades and still be walking free answering a leader. If he was collecting those illegal taxes in Onitsha, you and I know what could have befallen him by now 2 Likes |

I’m sorry I failed to see the morals of your story This story will only increase the already soaring rate in theft and other crimes, since empathy can be used as an excuse Or is it just me?! Let every unemployed youth stoop to shop lifting in the hopes that a judge will deliver a rape of judgement like this and all hell will be let loose. Let’s stop and think 1 Like |

frbona:I'm with you ooo there is no moral justification to free any guilty criminal Ignorance to a crime is not an excuse What is the probability that other kids won’t go around stealing because they know the judge is chicken hearted |
