The parents found out about the boys habit of stealing/robbing.. They have admitted their son to a well known rehab claiming that the psychiatrist at the rehab will be able to treat the behavioral problem of their son who is 21 years old.
He has been robbing since he was 11 years old.
His confidence has grown with time.
In 2013, he was involved in a big robbery worth Rs 9 lac from one of his own family member's house.
He was caught by the police later, but they requested & pleaded the victims family to take back the complain and give him a chance to improve, which he did so.
Now he was again caught in a phone robbery in Ahmadabad. The family soon came to know about it, but instead of giving him to police, they have put him in a rehab.
On asking the rehab, they said that it's an OCD and that their panel is well equipped to treat him.
As far as my knowledge is concerned, rehabs are for addicts.
Isn't this illegal activity conducted by the rehab for admitting a person like this?
This also means that the parents are saving the son by wrong means and protecting the culprit.
Is this rehab conducting an illegal operation by giving a shelter to a criminal?

Rehabs is not only for drugs and alcohol and it is for mending the character also.If you are really interested in the future of the boy admit him there Or if you wish to punish him and make his future uncertain then punish him and send him to minors jail.

Well, I'm suspecting the parents of the child's involvement.. As I would want to know the truth. Rehab is not letting the truth out... I feel the parents have kept the child purposely in rehab for protecting the truth of the matter.

the person has already identified himself as hardened and committed criminal. It is too late for their parents to wake up.
