At 12 (and younger) I'm prepared to "coddle"...at least when it comes to felony charges.So what's *your* solution? Execution? Or are you prepared to go easy on them and give them all 30 years? Did you do anything extremely stupid at 12...or younger? I did.And I suffered the consequences from my parents.But during the 45 years that I've been considered an "adult" by the law I've never been arrested for *littering*,let alone anything more serious.Maybe,just maybe,the same thing will happen to these kids if they get what for from their parents and/or others *without* the felony charge.
No. Most likely they’ll become one more child on child killer starring in the local — and national news. Ever wonder why this is happening more and more?? No?? No consequences severe enough to get their attention. That’s how. I’m in favor of the felony charges. Let ‘em learn the hard way. A slap on the wrist won’t get the message across. Either one has a conscience or one does not.
torturing and killing animals for pleasure is not little suzy shoplifting some lip balm from walgreens.
and it’s not that every kid is doing it either. don’t minimize it. this is serious crap and it leads to more serious crap.
