THERE is good news, hope and success for children in conflict with the law (CICL) at the Preda New Dawn Home in Liloan, Cebu. This open center, founded in 2018, is an alternative to jail, and life there is based on trust, respect, and building the self-worth and dignity of troubled youth. It has succeeded in giving a new, happier life and education to the young people sent there by enlightened and compassionate judges in Cebu who are dedicated to implementing the provisions of Republic Act 9344, or the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 (JJWA), that promotes restorative justice.
