5.8. I think that people older than 13 that commit serious crimes should all be tried like adults. They know what they are doing if they are older than that. I opinion wouldn't really change if someone i knew did something like that. All people should be treated the same. I think that criminals that commit adult like crimes should be tried as adults.

5.27-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.

Well it all depends on how bad was the crime on the situation. If the crime was horrible then yes, the teen or child should be prosecuted or just have a long sentence in jail. Crimes like murder,sexual harassment, and assault or any other serious crime should have sentences. People who just say robbed a bank or broke into a house shouldn't have a long sentence just enough so they'll learn there lesson. The minimum age for being for an adult should be 12 because once your 12 you already know how to act and kind of can decide what to do for themselves. If someone I knew that was under age and did a bad crime then I'll be like "Sorry, but you made a stupid mistake and your going to have to learn form it. i can't do anything to help you?" My opinion wouldn't really change but, then again I would probably help them since they didn't cause the crime. Juveniles who did adult like crimes should either have a 30 year sentence or 25 year sentence. It all depends on how bad the crime was too. In conclusion people who make horrible crimes should be sentence for a long time.

I think when you are legally an adult and witch is 18 that is when you should be charged as an adult. The reason is that kids diverse a seconded chances. Then they would have a chance to change it all. But if they do another crime then they should be charged with a longer sentence. In conclusion this is what I think should happen if you are a minor.

5.24 No teens should not be prosecuted, convicted, or sentenced like adults even for adult crimes. They should not be tried because the kid(s) aren't really old enough to know about the consequences of their actions. The minimum age for being tried as an adult should be eighteen years old because that is the age where a person legally becomes an adult. My opinion wouldn't change unless the person committed mass murder or blowing something up. If a juvenile committed a crime like premeditated murder they should be punished to the max of juveniles, then at 18 they can be tried as an adult. In conclusion, my opinion is that teens and children should not be tried as adults.

5.10 I think it depends on the severity of the act to whether or not a child should be charged as an adult. If they do some thing bad they can do it again but if it was just petty theft like taking a candy bar they should be charged as a juvenile. I think the minimum age should be 12 because people under 12 don't think like people older than them. I think they or I should be charged as a juvenile if I or a close person was under 12. I think some one who had killed some one intentionally should be charged as an adult. All in all I think whom ever is charged as an adult should be charged as an adult if they are over 12.

Yes, i think that teens and children be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults for adult like crimes, because they do need to have learned of their mistake. The crimes that should warrant adult sentences are murder, theft, and grand theft auto. I can't think of any that shouldn't be. The minimum age for being tried is 10 because kids these days are growing up faster and learning more and they can have older influence that makes them think that they can do these things. My opinion would be different because they would think that it wouldn't be fair. I would think that they deserve it.

i don't think that kid under thirteen should be tryed as adults because im older then thirteen so i think you should be eighteen because kids make mistakes cause they have low self esteem and some time you just snap that is my thoughts on that.

# 24 I kinda disagree with what you said that teens shouldn't be prosecuted or sentenced with adult like crimes.. I mean what if a sixteen year old teen murdered someone? Are you saying he can get away with it? o he/she should at least have a sentence?!?!?

5.13_I don't think that teens should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults. Why I say this is because when their teens they have no clue what their doing, and they either wanna impress somebody or feel cool or is just stupid. And plus they really just don't care. Teens are reckless they think that they will never get caught. I have somebody close to me my (nephew)who was gonna be prosecuted as an adult for something stupid; such as burglury, and tagging on properties, etc. I think that the law is ignorant when it comes to things like kids being prosecuted as adults. I say that 17 should be the minimum age. I have family members that have been victims of crime by juvenile's but it wasn't so dramatic. If a kid did commit a murder then yes they should be prosecuted as adults.

I think teens should be tried as adults depending on the crime.Like if they commit murder.I think this because, People should be held responsible for something they do, Even if that means convicting them and charging the as minors and then charging them like an adult. If my friends had that happen to them, being murder by a teenage I would want them to be tried as an adult to get what they deserve. Or if my friend did that then you know I would want them to be charged, people can be flat out sick and murder someone for no reason. That's when they get what they deserve. In conclusion that' why I think teenagers should be tried, Just like adults.

I agree with you 5.27 murder is a huge crime and every one should be charged as an adult for committing the crime.

5#2I think teens older than 19teen should be treated like adults. Because I think you still have one more year to be a teen. I don't think that it's right in less they did a really big crime then I believe they should get in trouble for it like an adult maybe they will learn there lesson.In my thoughts that's what I think.

5.12 I do not agree with number 8 because all people want a second chance.

I think that teens and children, depending on the crime, that they should be prosecuted as an adult. I think this because if they commit the crime purposely then they should be tried as an adult, but if was not then they should be tried as a juvenile. A minimum age I think it should be six or seven, because they`re a little young to understand, (unless it`s murder or something like that). To conclude, I think it matters on the teen or child.

5.13 to 5.5 I agree with you. They should be trialed as an adult when their 18.

I think the teens should not be tried as an adult until they are 18. That is when they are legally an adult and can make decisions on their own. If they are still living under there parents roof no matter how sadistic the parents are the child pretty much has to do what they say. I don't think kids should be punished for being less fortunate. But if the crime is something as serious as murder the child should be punished to the full extint.

Children should be tried as adults for adult-like crimes. Children should be tried as adults because there has to be consequences to anybody even though how old they are. The minimum age for children being tried as adults should be ten. My opinion wouldn't change if someone close to me was being tried as an adult even though they are ten years old. My opinion would stay the same; everyone ten and older should pay for their consequences for the crime they have done. What should be done to juveniles who commit drastic adult-like crimes should be a fair trial and be seen as any other normal person.
