They've been damaged, but not beyond repair.
Sometimes children get into situations that are too difficult for them to deal with on their own. Children are referred to the hearings system because they are considered to be at risk or have offended. At each hearing, panel members work with the child, parents or carers and professionals to make decisions which are in the best interests of the child.
