- There is no provision in the Children’s Act or Child Justice Act for the removal of children specifically for gang involvement, so this information is not collected separately from children who are taken into places of safety or alternative care due to other risks. The majority of children that are placed in a Secure Care Centre have had some involvement with gangs, but no official definition of gang affiliation is used to label or count these children separately from the other residents.
(b) (i) The children are coming from the following areas:
