We see about 500 children in the Toronto and central Ontario area go through the courts every year. I would even go further and say the likelihood of a conviction is not great. So we don't even get to the point of sentences in many cases.
The families that we work with express a lot of disappointment that the crime was not taken as seriously as they had hoped. There are provisions that help children testify, but they're not being used on an ongoing basis. There's no consistency on that in our courts. So I think there are a lot of other issues that need to be addressed in addition to the sentencing.
