[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 247699, member: 84"] If he went hunting with his father, he knew exactly what he was doing. I agree we don't have much background info in this case. But what disturbs me the most is this kid murders his soon to be step mother in cold blood, then board the bus for school without batting an eye. There would have to be an awful lot of abuse/neglect going on to warrant such a calculated premeditated murder. And even then, I'm not so sure I could manage to feel the least bit of sympathy for this kid. What is frightening, is this is becoming more and more common, and our current system is not equipt to handle juvenille offenders who know exactly what they're doing but are too young to be placed in adult prisons. So they wind up in juvie, which is no picnic....but is basically a slap on the wrist for a ruthless adult crime. The really scary part is that most kids [B]know[/B] this....and aren't even afraid of being put in jail because of it. Do I have a problem with them trying him as an adult? No. Do I think we need to come up with something fast to handle this new wave of violent criminals? Yes. Are we going to come up with a new system for this newest generation of violent juvenille violent offenders? Probably not because everyone is focused on their age instead of the ruthelessness of the crime they commited. Sure there are still kids out there who's parents have worked hard to keep them fairly innocent still at age 11. But the sad truth is that most 11 yr olds today are nothing like 11 yr olds back when we were kids. They've long since shed their innocence and are too "worldly" wise with no maturity at all to counteract it. I worry about the world my grandkids will be growing up in. :( [/QUOTE]
