Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has posted a video from a favela showing minors displaying stolen phones, explicitly calling for a lower age of criminal responsibility as part of his hard-line crime crackdown. In the video, Bolsonaro states, 'If you're old enough to steal, you're old enough to answer for your crimes!' This follows his earlier social media campaign framing youth crime as a central issue ahead of the election, appealing to voters concerned about public safety. The move has sparked debate over Brazil's child welfare laws and Bolsonaro's controversial stance on juvenile justice reform.
