YOUTH

No money for families of delinquents

Günther Oettinger, centre right party CDU member and Minister President of Baden-Württemburg suggested a plan to save millions of euros, ending child allowances to families of imprisoned adolescents. The premier of the state in south western Germany argues that children who are in jail cost their families a negligible amount of money, as the state provides for youths while they are in prison.
