一名16岁男孩在澳大利亚的Don Dale青年拘留中心被近两年的近隔离监禁,患有创伤后精神紧张症和严重的心理健康问题。 A 16-year-old boy has spent nearly two years in near-solitary confinement at Australia's Don Dale Youth Detention Centre, suffering from PTSD and severe mental health issues. 家人和倡导者批评这些条件,声称与世隔绝会损害儿童的福祉。 Family and advocates criticize the conditions, asserting that isolation harms children's well-being. 尽管2016年建议关闭Don Dale,但仍有大约50名未成年人留在那里,而政府计划将刑事责任年龄从12岁降低至10岁,这与专家警告相反。 Despite a 2016 recommendation to close Don Dale, about 50 minors remain there, while the government plans to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 12 to 10, contrary to expert warnings. 苏格兰的成功改革显示了一种替代方法。 Scotland's successful reform shows an alternative approach.
