[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids that are neglected still don’t end up murdering people. Unfortunately, there are just some children (and adults) that are prone to being violent people. Some kids are just mean and violent natured people and there he not much that can be done to help them. [/quote]

And let's face it, some of these kids [i]are being taught[/i] to be violent and criminal.   A 12 or 13 year old doesn't just spontaneously wake up and do armed carjackings.  It also can't help to be steeped in a culture of glorifying violent crime through drill rap and making things like "street cred" the most important thing someone can have, and that it is only earned through violence.  How many instances of "promising young DC rapper killed" have there been where they felt they needed to "up their street cred" to help their rap career by trying to rob a dealer or some other stunt only to end up getting shot in the process.  More than a few.  [/quote]

Some kids absolutely do wake up evil in the morning and commit crimes. Environmental factors do not explain everything and significant proportion  of crime (around 50%) is attributable to genetic heritability. There are kids that are inherently antisocial/violent who cannot be helped. For this group the best solution is to protect everyone else by giving them life in jail. [/quote]
