On the passing of the Children Act, 1908, special Courts, called Juvenile Courts, were created for dealing with charges against children or young persons. Such Court may be either in a separate building, or in a room of an ordinary Court House. No person, other than members or officers of the Court or parties to the case, their counsel or solicitors, or persons otherwise directly concerned in the case, may be allowed to attend, and means must be taken for preventing young persons while in attendance at the Court, or being conveyed to or from Court, from associating with adults. The chief methods for dealing with children and young persons charged with offences enumerated in Section 107 of the Act, are:-- (_a_) by dismissing the charge; or (_b_) by discharging the offender on his entering into a recognizance; or (_c_) by so discharging the offender and placing him under the supervision of a probation officer; or (_d_) by committing the offender to the care of a relative or other fit person; or (_e_) by sending the offender to an industrial school; or (_f_) by sending the offender to a reformatory school; or (_g_) by ordering the offender to be whipped; or (_h_) by ordering the offender to pay a fine, damages, or costs; or (_i_) by ordering the parent or guardian of the offender to pay a fine, damages, or costs; or (_j_) by ordering the parent or guardian of the offender to give security for his good behaviour; or (_k_) by committing the offender to custody in a place of detention provided under the Act; or (_l_) by dealing with the case in any other manner in which it may be legally dealt with.
