a 15 year old from scotland has been electronically tagged for 'minor offenses'
Quote:
Glasgow City Council said the tag was "part of an intensive support and monitoring service."
But the Scottish Human Rights Centre called the move "concerning and gimmicky".
It said the tagging of someone who is under 16 - who is still a child under Scots law - will not prove effective.
Director Rosemarie McIlwhan said: "Tagging by itself will not actually address the problem.

so what does everyone think...tagging or having this person go to a young offenders institution, apparently support should be given as the 'child' does not know what is a correct way to behave
