FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A psychiatrist was due to submit an assessment on the teenager, who is accused of possessing marijuana, today.
Along with a report from an Indonesian government welfare expert, expected in the next few days, it could be crucial in influencing what will hapen to the boy.
A judge will decide whether the teen is ordered to undergo treatment at a drug rehabilitation clinic, which could happen in Australia.
But it could be weeks, even months, before the Morisset High student learns his fate.
A statement from the high school says support for the student’s friends is available from staff, and that nothing in his time at the school has any apparent bearing on the current matter.
The Lake Macquarie teenager is currently staying at Denpasar police headquarters, reportedly in a cell with his father staying in an adjacent room.
He’s admitted buying the drugs, under pressure from a dealer.
His legal team is hoping he might be released under article 128 of Indonesia’s drug laws, which allows for those caught with small amounts of drugs to be released if they can prove they are addicts, generally defined as frequent users.
Adolescent psychologist, Michael Carr-Gregg, told 1233’s Jill Emberson the boy would be under a great deal of stress.
He says it’s a time of life when people feel the greatest desire to be with friends, so he’ll be missing his mates terribly.
“They also aren’t big on losing control, and he’ll have absolutely no control over virtually any aspect of his life at all,” Michael says.
“The deprivation of liberty is a big issue for teenage boys and I think he’ll be scared and he’ll be frightened and he will be beginning to wonder when this is all going to end.”
Michael says his father sleeping nearby will give the teenager some reassurance.
“But you’ve still got the deprivation of liberty and you’ve still got the fact that he doesn’t really know what’s gonna happen next and neither does Dad, so there’s not a lot of reassurance one could be giving him of getting out of there,” he says.
“So I think that’s very, very stressful.”
Michael says the only good thing that can come out of the situation is it represents a “teachable moment” for every parent in Australia, about how to conduct yourself in a foreign country and the dangers of cannabis.
He questions why the boy was left on his own in Bali.
“I basically wonder whether or not it was wise to allow a 14-year-old to wander unsupervised and unmonitored around the streets of Bail,” he says.
“One of the unique characteristics of teenage boys is an inability to predict the consequences of their actions, and what I think a lot of people don’t realise is your average 14-year-old brain has the same level of emotional maturity as a 10 to 12-year-old girl.”
Michael says even if the boy is allowed to return home to Australia, he hopes there will be some kind of sanction.
“All 14-year-olds need to know that if they make choices and they make bad choices, there have to be some consequences,” he says.
