A Case History and MSE Overview of a Juvenile Delinquent

Abstract

Using solely the Case History and Mental Status Examination, this case study investigates the participation of Master G, a 14-year-old boy from Saharanpur, in a sexual assault case. Master G and two of his peers attacked a little girl in their community. Master G and another companion carried out the attack in a desolate area while one accomplice captured the event. They were arrested because, unbeknownst to them, a bystander recorded the incident on camera and reported it to the police. Mr. G showed no sorrow for his acts, only sadness for getting caught, despite the seriousness of the crime. His lack of remorse or sorrow reveals a troubling psychological state that was probably impacted by twisted moral thinking and peer pressure.
