Given the child's age (13), first offender status, early guilty plea, remorse and supportive social report, the court exercised its discretion under Section 91(1)(b) of the Child Act 2001 to release the child on a good behaviour bond for 2 years with RM1000 surety and ordered the parent/guardian to enter a two-year bond under Section 93(1) without surety subject to reporting conditions; rehabilitation and avoidance of custody for juveniles outweighs imposition of immediate imprisonment in these circumstances.
