The Australian state government has announced a new punishment for juveniles who commit crimes by sending them to rural areas where they don't have internet access to help feed cattle.
According to the British Daily Mail on the 17th local time, regional development minister Alana McTiernan decided to send juvenile offenders to cattle ranches instead of juvenile detention centers to work.
In the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia, teenage criminals who take pictures of their crimes and post them on social media are called 'eshays'.
They commit crimes such as graffiti or stealing cars in public places, film them, and post bragging posts on social media to cause social chaos.
So far, Essays have been sent to the Banksia Hill juvenile detention center in Perth, which has been frequently closed due to lack of security personnel, self-harm by inmates and riots within the prison.
When the Australian state government's project is implemented, teenagers aged 14-17 who commit crimes based on social media will be sent near the Mairuda Station where the indigenous people live.
Mairuda Station, without internet access, is 267 km from Broome, the largest town in the region.
In the future, juvenile offenders will learn to feed and manage 19,000 cattle here.
"Myruda Station is a remote place where you can't easily return to the city," McTiernan said.
“SNS is a new culture that encourages youth to derail, and many children are engrossed in this culture,” he said.
