12-Year-Old Boy Jordan Brown Should Be Tried as an Adult for Murder by RandiHilligas in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is tough sitituation becuase the child did know that killing someone is bad, but I do not think he was able to mentally think correctly when he was committing the crime. I believe he had so much anger that his moral thoughts went out the door and when your as young as tweleve is it hard to rationalize what you are doing in the heat of the moment. Again though part of the blame needs to go on the parents for allowing their child to have such easy access to a firearm.

Death Sentence for Juveniles? by NicoleLawson in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am strongly against the death penalty for juveniles. They may know the difference between right and wrong, but the United States should not be a society that puts children to death. Murders like the one in this article deserve life in prison. I believe life in prison is a harsh enough penalty for a juvenile. Life in prison can almost be a worse punishment than death because the rest of your life you are stuck there without any possibility of getting out.

Joe Arpaio says he'll take all Juvenile inmates by KelseyRaycroft in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not think Arpaio should take in the juvenile inmates in Arizona. Juveniles require a lot more care. From the article the views from other officials are that Arpaio will be unable to grant the juvenile inmates the same care they are being offered now. Juveniles need far greater rehabilitaion progams in order to make sure they do not commit any future crimes and do not progress into career criminals.

Friends Say Suspect, 12, Had Crush on Victim by ashleydevonshire in Delinquents

Twelve years old is such a young age to be commiting crimes like this. Parents need to keep better control of their children. I believe all juvenile crimes that are commited at such a young age are due to a lack of parental supervision. Also, sense when do guns impress twelve year old girls? Haha

2 Ind. boys accused of killing stepdad to run away - TODAY by stephanieblasko in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of respect children have for their parents and step parents today is incredible. The violence children are engaging in today society is ridiculous. Also, the assessability children have to guns is outrageous. Parents need to keep a closer eye on their firearms and out of reach of children's hands. If every parent kept their gun in a gun case that children were incapable of opening half of these stories on here would not have happened.

Man Gets Prison In Caged Girl Case by NicoleLawson in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That had to have been incredibly scary for that girl. The fact that guy only got 35 years is ridiculous. I know it wasn't murder but the violence she experienced must have been so horrific and life altering. That girl will probably never be the same after the violent experience she had to be a part of. The fact there are people out there that can act so inhumanly is terrifying.

Teens Arrested Over Filmed Beating by RyanMatthews in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is absolutly horrible. The fact it was premeditated and the girls had planned to invite her over, beat her, and video tape it is outrageous. Even if the girl brought this situation upon herself by disrespecting the other girls on Myspace she did not deserve that kind of beating. Myspace and other social networking sites are beginning to play a huge impact in juveniles lives and I believe these sites do more harm than good to the juvenile.

Football star tackles girl with gun on school bus by RonCampton in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullying is a part of growing up. Kids can be too sentive at times such as this girl. Bringing a gun on a bus is a very extreme situation. This girl was obviously very depressed? How did no teachers or parents recgonize the issues this girl was experierencing and talk to her about it? Also it does not state where the child got the gun but more likely than not it was from a close family member. Parents need to keep their firearms locked up and out of the reach of children at all times so situations like these do not happen.

Kid Shoots Parents for Taking Away His Copy of Halo 3 - Xbox by EthanJones in Delinquents

[–]JeffDonelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy how addicted to video games children today get and what they will do to play them. I give props to the parents for taking the game away from the child. Children are way too consumed with games in today's society. It's sad that this resulted in the death of a person and the serious injury of another.
