The Zao Bao reports: "The defendant Jia Ming (a pseudonym) was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for one year, and fined 500 RMB." Hearing the judge's verdict, Jia Ming's father, who was sitting in the courtroom, shed tears. After the verdict was announced, Jia Ming, who had once harbored resentment towards his father, hugged him again with tears in his eyes and expressed that he would definitely reform himself.

On August 2nd, before the trial of a robbery case at the Jianggan District Court's juvenile court, national level-two psychological counselor He Jun was specially invited to provide pre-trial counseling to Jia Ming. Through the psychological counselor, Jia Ming was helped to reduce his psychological pressure and correctly face his actions.

Through the guidance of the psychological counselor, Jia Ming, who originally resented his father, suddenly knelt down and begged his father for forgiveness. The two embraced and cried bitterly. Jia's father realized that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and guardian, and also felt deeply regretful.

Afterwards, the court held a non-public trial of this case. It was found that Jia Ming had conflicts with his father and wanted to live independently away from the family, so he robbed others and even hoped to be caught by the police to escape from the family.

On April 17th this year, Jia Ming had an argument with his father. At around 9:30 PM, he took a kitchen knife from home and went to a telecommunications store in Ge Fan South Garden, Jiubao Town, Sohu Space, where he demanded 300 RMB from the shop owner using the knife.

When the shop owner resisted, Jia Ming injured him with the back of the knife. Then Jia Ming put down the kitchen knife and asked the shop owner to call the police, and waited on the scene for the officers to come and arrest him.

The court believed that during the process of committing the robbery crime, Jia Ming voluntarily abandoned the crime, which constitutes a cessation of crime; after ceasing the crime, Jia Ming asked others to report the crime and waited on the scene for the police to handle it, which can be regarded as voluntary surrender. Therefore, the above-mentioned judgment was made.
