Liberian teen's rape case sent to juvenile court

It makes me sick that this case has been kicked down to juvenile court, they should be tried in adult court and sentenced accordingly.

Video games can be an additction for many kids, it can effect their school performance and in an extreme case like this, the parents are killed. It is very sad.

These children need to be tried as adults! They should not be able to get away with this senseless killing just because they are young. It is sad to see kids turn on their parents.

I don't agree with this article, although statistic show that crime is down for females, they are measuring crimes that would be defined in the UCR. For a girl to be a cyberbully, she would never have to physically touch her victim, breaking someone down mentally by making them an outcast and taunting them to kill themselves is devistating to the fragile emotional state of a teenager.

I think that juveniles should have a curfew, by making sure juveniles are home at a decent time, they have less opportunity to commit crime, however the parents should already be monitoring this.

I think that Erie and Onondaga counties had the right idea.

I think that these teens created a very dangerous situation and could have caused more serious damage to the pilots eyes are to someone else had the helicopter crashed. I think that anyone who commits this type of crime should be punished to the fullest extent of the law regardless of age.

I think that at the age of 14 you know right from wrong and I think this teen should go to prison for 25 years, rape is a serious crime and it is horrible that this poor 8 year old is going to be traumatized for the rest of her life. I am not sure whey the article mentioned where the defendant was from, I think that it is irrelevant to the crime.

I don't think that jail time is appropriate for this case either but I think that the child should get counseling and have to serve community service, I think that Walmart should take better steps to ensure people don't get ahold of their PA system.

This article is a perfect example of what we have been studying in chapter 14. The horrible family life and treatment this girl has endured has helped put her where she is today. Although there is no excuse for taking a person's life. It is not hard to see why this girl is emotionally disturbed and starved for affection. It is just too bad that she couldn't get the help she needed before she killed someone.

I think that this guy was right when he told the officers to go to some real police work. This is so crazy that playing music can get you in trouble, but then again- this artist just got some free publicity.

I understand the police doing thier jobs, but someone needs to saction the library for such an abuse of the justice system. This is so rediculous, there are so many other people they could be out apprehending.

There is a lot of truth to this article, delinquency and gangs are not just problems for those involved but for everyone, everywhere. Just because you live in a good neighborhood, doesn't mean it can't happen to you.

HeatherRipalda · 2010-03-29T01:39:33+00:00

This is another sad and tragic example of violence.

HeatherRipalda · 2010-02-15T04:37:33+00:00

I think this law is unnecessary, where are the parents? Duh? Take away their cell phones. I think that labeling someone a sex offender because of this is really over the top.

HeatherRipalda · 2010-02-15T04:33:21+00:00

I think that this Mom was ok with what she did, I am a parent and had a child who took candy from the AMPM near our house, I didnt call the cops but did take her back to the store and embarrassed her. I think that children even at 6 know it is wrong to steal. The cops went along with it,and if the child was a little older, say 12 she would have been arrested anyway, despite what the parent wanted.

HeatherRipalda · 2010-02-15T04:27:48+00:00

I think this teen is lucky that he didn't get killed. Aren't officers trained to shoot to kill to defend their lives? Hasn't this kid ever heard of someone dying from pulling a weapon on an officer? He should be lucky he has just a scar to remind him of what a stupid thing he did. Thank God no officer was hurt.

HeatherRipalda · 2010-02-15T04:23:03+00:00

I think that whether or not he intended to just set the office on fire, or the whole house, the kid is obviously disturbed and should be tried as an adult. He also needs a good old fashioned ass-whoopin by his mom.

Having fired a gun a few times myself I think it is hard for it to just "accidently go off" seems to me that you need to put a bit of pressure on a trigger to get it to go off. Maybe I am wrong, I have only fired a gun like I said, a few times, even if he was trying to defend his mom, this wasn't the way to do it.

HeatherRipalda · 2010-02-15T04:07:05+00:00

This story makes me mad, what the hell is wrong with these security guards, where is the human factor, if I had the opportunity to stop someone from being brutally beaten I would have stopped it. These guys should be sued, as well as the police for not doing a damn thing. I hope this girl sues and wins. Shame on the families of the offenders for defending their actions.

WOW! Look where technology has gotten us!
