This is the issue, isn't it.

If the kids are kids and can't be trusted to show good judgement, blah blah blah, so we can't possibly give them adult sentencing, fine. But that means that their [b]parents[/b] are responsible for supervising these kids and making sure they aren't out carjacking people.

People will do a better job of parenting when they know that THEY will be thrown in prison if they don't. Or they'll decide not to have children when they don't have a husband, don't have a stable home, or don't have means to support the child and raise it properly.[/quote]

P.S. For this to work, I think parents should be able to put out of control kids into a residential military camp for kids, where they just have the military structure/environment/community when they're minors and could serve once they're old enough if they don't have another job.[/quote]
