Teens should not necessarily be considered "children". The law protects them from certain responsibilities and prohibits them from certain activities based on their immaturity. However, when they deliberately become criminals, they bring on themselves the consequences for their criminal actions.

So someone who cannot determine on their own whether it is okay to have sex, vote, smoke or drink can determine it is okay to murder and be held to the ultimate penalty?

It does not make sense to me.
