Staying on streets and die of drugs, bringing you before justice to be tried and sentenced or settling you in rehabilitation centers,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>He explained that the third alternative was found to be suitable for Rwanda\u2019s children other than jailing them. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe assume that prison is not for a 14 or 15-year child. Why can\u2019t he\/she receive other opportunities?\u201d he wondered. <\/p>\n<p>The minister added that children from rehabilitation centers are valuable to  the country.  \u201cDevoting our time to visit you along with security personnel and district officials demonstrates how valuable you are,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>He said that international organizations accusing Rwanda of mistreating children from rehabilitation centers are worthless as they do not even visit the field to witness how children are living. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese reports are not authored by a person who took time to come visit this rehabilitation center.
