[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not hold with charging 15-year-olds as adults.

Not even when those 15 year olds gang rape their classmates in a locker room?[/quote]

NP +1

It's not a bunch of kids sitting on a bridge and someone gets the dumb idea to drop a rock onto a road.

Gang rape is a very adult concept, premeditated, and it's a crime that they used all of their adult physical strength to commit. Zero sympathy here.[/quote]

Don’t really care about your sympathy. The boys did not sit around planning what they perceived in their teen minds as a gang rape. They perceived it as a hazing ritual that was passed down as a traditional. Of course it is awful. But their lack of judgement is partly attributed to their age. This is not a situation where the courts should move the case out of where it naturally should be. Why the hell is there a juvenile court if a case like this is not in it? [/quote]

My 10 year old boy knows that sticking a broom up someone's bottom is wrong. If your 15 year old considers it just a prank you have failed at parenting. Teaching your child about sex includes teaching them what rape is and what consent is. If you haven't done that, now's the time (actually several years ago was the time, but better late than never). Seriously, please talk to.your children about sex, consent, and rape before they enter high school!!![/quote]

Yeah, I think the parents who have such a problem with a gang rape being considered an actual gang rape rather than just a kids prank in a watered down system need to stop playing on the internet and get off their butts and raise their kids properly.[/quote]
