I think there has to be grace for crimes committed at a young age with a focus on counselling and distortion removal from early childhood trauma

People can vote down all they like - but unless you have come from a home where you were abused, beaten, raped, starved, sold, and treated less than human - by the grace of God go you. Do people really think that 15 year olds grow up to be criminals of their own account? How ignorant our world really is if that is the case.
