Is this a sufficient sentence for taking a young life. He got the boy into his home and beat him with a frying pan and then stabbed him 16 times. Is 12 years behind bars enough for a crime of this nature.

The question is a balance between retribution from society and rehabilitation - I just feel sorry for the victims parents - for them it will always be an eye for an eye - it's all about the perspective.
The parents - usually vengeance ( unless they are exceptional human beings)
The Offender - ?too young to know any better -
The Offenders Parents - ? confused and usually ashamed as they are the ones the finger is pointed at
Society - protect other and rehabiliate- easier to bang up the offender an forget. Or Better we rehabilaitate - how long for?
It should all becase by case- here there is so much evidence of an intensely violent nature that 12 years probably will not be long enough

In todays DO-Good Britain the people who commit crime get better treatment than the victims do.
A life sentence should be just that, but they know that if they kept everyone who killed behind bars, they'd be up to their armpits in debt.
It is time that we did something else...say if after 10 years a person hasn't been found innocent of the crime...give them the death sentence!
People like the boy in the news serve no part in the human race...they are pure evil.
I think the death sentence for crimes such as murder, child rape etc should be carried out.
I think that if it were my son who he'd killed I'd go after him...
instead of allowing the evil little bastard to go free after 12 years.

HE WONT BE JAILED FOR THAT LONG..He will be out between 6-8 years from now. If he is reformed in that time then of course he should be allowed another chance in society.
He is only 15. But he does seem a bit of a nut job.
That a child is doing such a thing raises many questions to me on the way he has been brought up...which must have been very badly.

I dont agree personally to the short sentence. I think taking of a life like that should carry a longer sentence. But if he stays behind bars for all that time. His teenage years will be spent in prison his mindsett isnt going to have memories of celebrating his 18th or 21st birthdays as a free man. That will leave its mark on him for the rest of his life.

There are many vicvtims to this crime. Two families involved, two families have to suffer for the rest of their lives.
12 years is a lot to a boy of 15. He will be 27 when eventually he is released.
I cannot speak for the parents of the child who was murdered, but I'm sure they would not seek vengence, merely understanding.
It is difficult world for the youth of today

I think the sentence is pretty low, he killed him because the 11 year old boy knocked back his sexual advances. I think he commited the murder last year when he was fourteen and this is close to the maximum sentence he can get. I'm sure he had mental health problems so that restricted a life sentence.

They banned the death penalty for those under the age of eighteen. That was done in the name of compassion.
Where is the compassion for the 11 year old boy who will never get to go to his prom, fall in love, be cool, get married, go to college, have children. This kid murdered someone, he took from him everything that he had and took everything he will ever have.
Bone headed justices and a bone headed judge decided that this was not important and gave him 12 years. I hope this does not happen to members of their family.

The boy is obviously mentally ill, and for that reason needs to be secured for as long as it takes to recover, if that is ever possible. 12 years may not be long enough. No sentence, however long, though, can bring back the dead boy. My Christian prayer is that both sets of parents, and the 15-y-o himself, will receive God's healing touch.

if he is cold-blooded enough to premeditate a murder like that at 15, why the hell would you let him back out? he is only going to be 27 when he is released and will spend his sentence playing on x boxes and bulkin up at the gym so he will be bigger,older and more dangerous,plus he will be serving time with other murderers and so he will just make stronger connections with more powerful people so you tell me who is being punished him or us?
