When Rahul Enrike (19) was arrested with his friends for snatching a chain from a woman on a Vasant Vihar road in south Delhi to buy an expensive gift for his girl- friend, it caught his `affluent' family off guard.

Bewildered, his parents told the police they had noticed some unusual behaviour in their son but did not know what to do.

Now, there is a glimmer of hope for such families.

Parents worried for their `deviant' children can log on to a website www.dpjju.com and seek help. Launched by the Delhi Police, it has names of sev- eral NGOs and agencies that can counsel the children.

The police launched this web- site in view of the rising num- ber of incidents where teena- gers have taken to crime.

"If parents notice any deviant behaviour in their children, they should bring it our notice," said Sudhir Yadav, joint commis- sioner of police, juvenile justice unit. "There are several agen- cies working in collaboration with us that will counsel them."
