27-Teens that do or have done serious crimes such as murder or something like that should be treated like an adult, because it is still a killing and no matter who or how old they should be in person or life and death sentence. The reason I say this is because people get away with stuff they shouldn't and think it's okay and they could do it again which is even more of a problem. I wouldn't change my mind if it was family or not because it is still a major crime which is nothing wonderful.

8-I think teens should be tried as adults because even if the law doesn't see them as adults they basically are. If people have thought of doing these crimes they know what they want to do. So they should be held accountable for their actions.

2.29 children should not be tried as adults. i believe that if the child is just under 18 they could be tried as one but if someone is more than a couple years under 18 they should not be tried as an adult. if someone commits a serious crime they should be arrested but if the crime is done by a juvinile they need to be taken to jubvie not jail. and maybe when they turn 18 they will have learned a lesson. but they will need enough time, compared to the crime they have done.

2.03-I think that teens and children shouldn't be convicted the same as adults, but if it's a serious crime they should be in jail until they they can be prosecuted for it when they are 18.I think that Murder, Robbery,and stealing should warrant adult sentences, and like small crimes shouldn't. The minimum age for being tried as an adult should be 18 because you're officially an adult at that age.My opinion would change if I was charged I would want the minimum age to be 20. I wouldn't change the rules because I would want the juvenile to be charged for hurting a friend of mine. Kids who commit adult like crimes should be sent to prison or be charged the same way as adults are.

2.13# No i don't think we should be charged with the same charges like adults because adults can be arrested for doing a crime and get life in prison.like stealing or something like that but i still think kids should stay in prison but not as long as an adult would. I think the minimum age should be 18 because that's when u are legally an adult. They should get a sentence of how ever long the jury decides to give them.Get the same sentence as an adult would but i think they should at least get half of that. Like if you get life in prison for premeditated murder a minor should get 20 to 50 years at least

I don't really think 13 and younger should be prosecuted as adults because they they don't fully under stand what they did.But bye the time they are 14 and older they should be tried as an adult because they under stand what they have done why its wrong.If some one close to me did something bad like murder if they where 13 and under i would think they shouldn't be tried with to much.But if they were 14 or older i think they should get what the get for what they did. But if it's stealing i don't really think people should really get in that much trouble depending on what it is. But I think that what they should have to do if they steal and get caught is give the item back and still pay the price for it.Clearly, I think that the laws should change.

I think it really depends on age on if that person should be convicted or not. If the person who committed the crime is 10 or below I don't think they should be convicted with an adult sentence because chances are they didn't know what they were doing was wrong. The crimes that should be warranted as an adult crime are things like killing someone or robbing a bank. The minimum age for being tried as an adult should be 14 and over. If someone close to me and who was under aged was convicted of a crime I would be pretty pissed off, even though I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Juveniles who commit murder or adult like actions should be placed in a juvenile place.

2.1 I think that teens and children should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults for adult like crimes because when you do a crime its not like you don't think about what you're doing or what you're gonna do.The crimes that should warrant adult sentences is murder or any kind of felony.Some that shouldn't is like having a weapon or small stuff like that.The minimum age i think for being tried as an adult should be 12.In conclusion i think juveniles who commit drastic adult like crimes should be sentenced for life.

Children s and teens should be convicted like adults for committing adult like crimes. They still committed the same crime so they should be treated the same. Killing should be a crime that if someone does it no matter how old they are they should be treated the same. The Minimum age for being convicted as an adult should be 10 Because at that age they now whats wrong and whats right. If someone i new would to be convicted as and adult for doing an adult like crime my opinion would not change. If A juvenile committed a drastic adult-crime they should be put in jail for life or for a very long period of time. Over all an adult crime committed by any one should be convicted the same.

I believe that teens should be tried as adults in some serious situations. I say this because by the time your about 13 you should know for the most part what is right and wrong. For example you should know that killing people is definitely illegal and morally not okay. Also you should know that stealing is wrong also. You should be tried as an adult for doing something that you know is absolutely not acceptable in society. My opinion wouldn't change even if someone close to me had been a victim of a crime committed by a juvenile. In conclusion teens should be punished just as bad as adults for committing crimes that they know are wrong and that they have been taught to know that it's bad. I say that because teens know just as well as adults do that doing drugs and killing people is illegal. So they should be punished just as harshly.

Yes, I think that teens and children should get sentenced like an adult for adult-like crimes.I think they should because they did an adult-like crime. Like steeling no but killing a person yes. I think the age that should be sentenced would have to be 13-15 because this day an age would be there is more crimes that go on. I don't know how my opinion would be different. I would be very upset if someone close to me. I think that they should go to jail and stay there. Clearly, that is all I have to say.

I think that teens and children should be tried as adults if they commit an adult-like crime. If they kill somebody they should not be treated any different just because their younger. I think the minimum age for being tried as an adult is however old you know what killing is and how bad it is. If someone i knew was tried as an adult at a younger age I would think its fine and they should get the same punishment. Everyone should have the same punishment no matter what the age. If someone got the death sentence who was 19 and killed somebody and a 17 year old didn't that isn't fair.

2.3 I agree with 2.19 because if you murder someone that's the worst crime you can commit.

To 27 from 11


What if the child or teen is being mentally or physically abused. What if it was the way to be free. When your tired of it it becomes logical.

2.#13 Dear # 7 i kind of agree with with you about the whole 13 year old thing but, i thing they should be prosecuted at the age of 16-18 years old.

2.4 Teens should not be sentenced like adults for adult-like crimes because they aren't adults they are teenagers. The crimes that should warrant adult sentences are like murder. If it was someone that was close to me i would still want them to go to jail or prison so they can pay for their crime.

Why do you not think that Kids/ teens should be sentenced for adult- like crimes?

2.10 I think that teens and children shouldn't be sentenced like adults for adult crimes. I think that because when those kids commit what ever crime they commit they might not be thinking right because they don't have the mind of an adult they still think like little kids. I think that crimes like killing people should be warrant adult sentences.

Yes teens and children should be prosecuted like adults because a murder is a murder no matter who does it. major ones should warrant adults and minor ones shouldn't. The minimum age should be 12. My opinion wouldn't be different if a family member did it because they are not different from other people that did the same crime they did. I would want that person to be put in jail.

2.#17- I think that kids and teens shouldn't be prosecuted,convicted,and sentenced like adults because some kids don't know better while some teens do.The crimes that should be sentenced to teens are attempted murders,and robbery.The crimes that shouldn't be sentenced is theft for minor things if possible.The minimum age for being tried as an adult should be at least sixteen.
