Whoopis - Dasies ... ment to stick this in law ...
2007-05-17 12:08:08 · update #1
this is just as good a place, because religion will have a thing to say about it.
But yes. If the crime was bad enough, then life with out parole is needed. If a kid kills his/her family and is 16. I would say that something so wrong happend in his/her life that he/she would never be able to adjust to the needs of a normal society.
Hope this helps,
peace

It depends on the crime.
I don't think its ethical if we're talking second degree murder or if the circumstances surrounding the murder were "understandable". I think the mental state of the 16 year old should be taken into account.
However, if a 16 year plans and premeditates the death of another human being -- and especially if their death was especially gruesome -- then they should be tried as an adult and given the same kind of sentence.

It would make complete sense if he brutally murdered your 16 year-old son or daughter. Sorry about the temporary cop mind-set here.

Depends on the crime committed and their cognitive abilities to understand the nature of what they have done.

What have they done and why have they done it???
I would of thought some sort of rehabilitation would be more appropriate for someone so young.
Or maybe psychiatric care??

Depends on what he did. If he killed somebody then why not?
