What are your thoughts on juveniles breaking the law? Are these matters being handled appropriately?
- The primary school student that stole a car and went joyriding, damaging two cars, was arrested and charged in accordance with the law in T&T, though we know his family will really be the ones bearing expenses and taking responsibility for court appearances and rehabilitation etc, not him.
- The Duggars have hidden the sexual molestation of minors (including their own children) by their own son while he was underage. No charges were pressed at the time of the incident, nor are they being pressed to date. The most common excuse from them is that he was a minor and it was long ago.
- There are countless reports of toddlers and small children worldwide finding guns and shooting, in some cases, even killing, others.
- Many people still believe that the young boys who were responsible for kidnapping, molesting, abusing, and sodomizing 7 year old Sean Luke many years ago got off too easy because of their ages.
- As long as a rapist or molester is underage, their names are withheld from the media and the public due to the sensitivity of the matter of their being a child, regardless of the age of the person they are accused of raping, molesting etc.
At what age should a person be held accountable for committing a crime? How should these crimes be brought to justice when the perpetrator is a child under the age of 18? What about cases of peer pressure or families influencing youths and desensitizing them to crimes being illegal and illicit?
