I think for more serious crimes, children should be tried as adults. The serious crimes take thinking, and we can't just let these children go when they do this serious stuff. Crimes that nobody can be tried as children, in my opinion, should be rape, murder, and attempted murder. If someone near me was convicted of rape, murder, or attempted murder, my opinion would not change. The committers of these serious crimes cannot get off easy. I think there should be a jail for convicts 18 and under, but they should not get less time.
4.25 craze212 I think that it depends on the person and to crime. when a kid kills some one and there is a thought out reson for the crime. If a kid who is age of 15 and below and does a crime that would be tried hasher then most they should be looked as a chiled not an adalt. when you ar 16 or oldder you can be looked at as and adalt but does not meen that you be tryed that way. Personaly i think if some close to me had something happen to them like that i wouldnt change i would think that it would all have to proved and he was fairly tried by a fair jury. This is my idea of how it should work.
4-23-u-fav upsman8328 teens should be prosecuted by the level of the crime. because some teens get charged for thing that are stupid. than teens that should be thrown in jail get off easy. if a teen kill some one for nothing they should be thrown in jail. but if self defense they should not get prosecuted. the minimum age should be 18 years old. so yes in some cases teens should be prosecuted as a adult but in some case they should not be.
I believe that the youngest age a person should be to be prosecuted is sixteen. This is because at the age of sixteen most people know what is wrong and what is right along the lines of murder. Anything less the murder and arson should be treated and tried as adult figures but the sentence times should be cut accordingly. All sentences should be reduced by the number of years by how old they are. All in all i think that only murder and arson should always require adult trials but sentences should be reduced.
4.24 i disagree with 17 because some times when kids are put in to situation that the only way the come out saff is mabe by herting or killing the person there was a cass when a dad was beting a child and the childs brother ended up killing the dad to save the little child.
4.2 bossman21666 Should teens be tried as adults? Well I guess I could say yes and no. If the kid murdered someone then yes. But for dumb kiddie things I thing people need to let humans be humans. I mean some things that teens do are not even all that big. In conclusion people need to think twice.
I believe everyone learns the difference between right and wrong at different ages. Therefore, we cannot just assume that a 17 year old knows that murder isn't right. If they are crazy, they won't ever know, so we shouldn't say that a sociopathic 15 year old should be tried as a child.
.10. Juveniles Should not be tried as adults. I think this because theirs a difference in the maturity levels as we transfer from a child into an adult. Next instead of being convicted like adults they should teach why its not okay to do bad things. I also Think that teenagers should only be convicted like adults if they committed a very harsh crime. Clearly, Juveniles shouldn't be tried as adults unless the crime is harmful.
No, I don't think children should be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced like adults because they are little and probably don't understand, but if the child confessed then yes the should be. It should be half and half. Murder should be tried as an adult but if its something as little as jaywalking, thats just ridiculous.It should still be 16 and older because if a 16 year old is driving and kills a person purposely and they don't get tried with murder. You never know. My opinion wouldn't change because it wouldn't be fair if I killed someone purposely and got away with it just because Im underage. My opinion still wouldn't change, it's still fair if they are tried. A permeditated murder should be tried even if underage.
to 4.17. i think that attempted murder should not be tried as adults simple because it could have been by mistake on the influence of some thing. so many parents today put their children on drugs just because of a doctors opinion.
I believe in the rest of the legal system. We should first determine if the child killed in self defense, like we do now. If someone was about to kill you and you killed them instead, then of course you are not at fault. We have to find this out before we prosecute.
4.27 I do not think teens should should be tried as adults. Because a thirteen year old boy in a state penitentiary would not end well. The boy could be beat up or taken advantage of. But on the other hand if a seventeen year old man killed his perents he should be tried as an adult because he knows better then to kill another person. In other words thats what i think the limits are on sending a teenager to a prision.
No i do not think teens should be charged for adults charges the reason why is because we are only teens we will hit adult age pretty soon. We only live one life and we all make mistakes in life but why punish us at such a young age. Last but not least we only get to be a teen once till we hit adult age and ready to take on the world.
4.12 UFAV jtlive666 Teens and children should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults for murder and rape. Teens and children should not be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults for j-walking and just little thing. I think it should be this way because we are still learning the laws. All crimes that are done by adult should be convicted and sentenced as adults. The minimum age should be 18 to be sentenced as an adult.
4.16. Children and teens should be tried for adult like crimes. Since they committed like the same crimes as adults it should count as an adult crime. The crimes that are adult crimes are like murder, car theft. The youngest age for being tried as an adult is eight because no madder what they do they no what they did. My opinion if it was someone under age in my family i'd think about the same. No matter what the crime is they should be tried mostly as an adult.
4.11 I think that teens should not be tried as adults because they are still kids they don't know what they just did and also there just kids that don't understand the about the conviction like the murder or the robbery they committed and I really think that they should not be tried as adults.
I think that only teens should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults for adult-like crimes but not children because teens are smarter and know more unlike kids. Murder is a crime that should warrant an adult sentence but crimes like jay walking shouldn't. The minimum age for being tried as an adult should be 13 because its the age that most people know right from wrong and aren't know as kids. If i was accused of a crime or someone close to me was then my opinion would still be the same. If someone close to me was a victim of a crime committed by a juvenile,then my opinion would change because it could of been done by someone under 13 and i would want justice. Juveniles who commit drastic adult-like crimes (such as premeditated murder) should be tried as adults.
No, I don't think that teens or children should be sentenced like adults. I think they shouldn't because kids just don't think and i doubt it's their fault. Well i think that murder should be bad and it is. Something else that they should get in trouble for hitting kids. But kids need to think more about what they do and parents should be more involved in their lives.
4.8 I think that kids should not be tried as adults for any kind of crimes that would make them be tried as adults. The adult should know better than to do commit a crime that he/her knows that is wrong and will be convicted for it. kids dont really take the time to think about what they are going to do and then realize what they have done afterwards.
4.14 If a teen or child ever done an adult-like crime a think that they should be tried as an adult. I think this because teens and children should know that the crime was really bad. I also think that murder and having drugs should be some of the crimes that warrant adult sentences. A minimal age that should be tried as an adult should be 9 or 10. If there was someone that was close to me that did an adult crime i would want them to be punished. If some one close was a victim to the crime that they should be given a fair amount of punishment. In conclusion, i think that children and teens should be tried as an adult for an adult crime.
I think that it depends on what the teen does to be tried as an adult. If the teens case is really serious then yea they should be tried as an adult but if the teens case isn't that serious then no. I believe that every teen leans something and won't be able to go to the same path but some teens don't learn, you tell them over and over again but whatever you say, it comes out the other ear and doesn't stay in there head (laugh-out-loud). i do think that teens should be tried as an adult if he or she don't listen.
commenting on craze 212 4.5 (Big Red) I kinda agree but i think that if the person can commit an adult crime they should be tried as such. I also think that if we start teaching the law at a younger age we wouldn't have as many problems.
4,21 Yes I think teens and children should be treated like adults for adult like crimes. I think this because if the crime was that bad ,and they new what they were doing then they should not be treated any different from adults. crimes that should be adult sentences are murder. I don't think there should be a minimum age because it should not matter. If someone close to me was sentenced as a adult then my opinion would not differ.
to.Brit I think your right on ever thing but a few little thing number one if some one kill some one yes the should be prosecuted, but if it was self defenses that no they should not go to jail. And what if for say me I walk in and my dad is beaten my mom and I step in and he ends up dead than should I go to jail???? answer me that
I think Eric should get equal rights as a citizin because he is a human like everyone else but in a way he shouldn't be trusted by most people because he killed more then one person. If he was to get equal rights then he should be watched secretly to know that he doesn't harm anyone else.

Bossman has a point we do need to let humans be human. Because the man is all ways putting us down
4.2 bossman21666
I totally agree with upsman all the way be tried at the level of the crime.
4.6 I think that and teens should not be convicted like adults in less it is some thing like muder
