[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Violent criminals need to be treated as Adults. The age needs to be lowered to 14. Those kids will not amount to anything good. Sad, but true.[/quote]

Why would we treat children as adults? this doesn't make sense to me and never has. If there needs to be more stringent consequences for violent juvenile crimes, that's fine (and I do agree we shouldn't be letting offenders off). But juveniles are not adults and should not be "treated as adults." That's messed up.[/quote]
Do adult crimes, get adult time.[/quote]

Define "adult crime"- this is silly. Obviously a juvenile can commit any type of crime. If these crimes are not sufficiently covered under the juvenile penile system, that system needs to be reformed. It simply doesn't make sense to say a 16 year old is an adult. A 16 year old is not an adult. Should a 16 year old do "time" for car jacking? Sure. But that doesn't make him/her an adult.[/quote]
Kids crimes: Shoplifting candy. Smashing mailboxes. Doing donuts in the parking lot.

Adult crimes: sticking a gun in your face and driving off with your car. [/quote]

+1 I don’t want kids sentenced to years in prison for shoplifting or getting in a fist fight at school but come on. Armed carjacking? That’s an adult crime and they need adult prison sentences. [/quote]
