A facility with case-by-case detention facilities is needed for under-14s who have committed crimes. Johannes Bernegger, head of the "Neustart" association in Salzburg, made this demand yesterday in the provincial parliament.

After intensive discussion of a corresponding SPÖ motion, all five parties agreed to approach the federal government.

The government should examine how children who have committed crimes can be looked after. Accommodation requires new legal requirements.
