In America, a 15-year-old boy was arrested for stealing bread and cheese

In America, a 15-year-old boy was arrested for stealing bread and cheese.
When he was presented in court, the judge asked him why he stole.

Tears filled the boy’s eyes, and he said that his mother was seriously ill,
he himself was hungry, and he didn’t even have enough money to buy food.
Hearing this, the judge became emotional. Instead of punishing the boy, he turned to everyone present in the courtroom and said:

“If a child in our society is forced to steal food just to survive, then the criminal is not him — it is all of us.”

The judge fined every person present in the courtroom 50 dollars for allowing such a situation to arise.
He also fined the shopkeeper 500 dollars for not helping a hungry child.
All the collected money was given to the boy, and he was allowed to leave without any punishment.

In our country, laws seem to apply only to the poor, while powerful people roam freely.
Here, even judges who take crores in bribes still sit in court delivering justice.
How can we expect them to do justice correctly?

But this judge gave a remarkable judgment.
It is true — if there is a king, and someone in his kingdom sleeps hungry, the one truly guilty is the king.
