6.05 I think teens should be tried as adults because some teens think that if they do a serious crime they can go to juvenile detention and get out early because their going to turn eighteen in two or three days.The minimum age for being tried as adults should stay eighteen if you ask me.Take Eric Poole for example, he has been in juvenile detention for a while and yet he is getting out early because he is turning eighteen.The crimes I think should be prosecuted as adults are murder,rape,and pulling any kind of firearm on a police man or other person. My opinion would maybe be changed if it was not a serious crime. If someone close to me was a victim of a serious crime I think they should be tried as adults. Clearly, in my opinion juveniles should be tried as adults for a serious crime.
6.#8: Some teen and children be tried as an adult. Although some shouldn't be tried by an adult. The minimum age should still be 18. When it comes to murder if it was in self deference and was able to show and prove that it was self defense. Then if it was a plot to kill them and had a bad reputation with them then they should be tried by an adult. Then if the fine is over than 500 dollars.
6.3 I think that teens should not be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults. Like I mean it's not right to just put teens in an adult prison where they would just get there ass beaten like everyday. I mean they should at least wait until the teen is nineteen. Until then they should not be prosecuted as an adult. Clearly, it can be a bad thing cause it would probally just make them even meaner than before..
To:6.5 From:6.3 Well they wouldn't get out early for a serious crime. They would probally be in juvenille for a long time, but it depends on what they did and how bad it ended up being in the crime...
6.5 Dear #3 I can see where you are coming from but just like kenny said if you were 17 and you went and stabbed somebody you get out the next day if it was your birthday. That is kind of bad don't you think?
6.8: I think that #3 is kindav rong because you are your own gardian at theat age. then you are an adult. so now you would be an adult and would be charged as a minor. that is what i think that is why they do that. IF they did it at nineteen you would have to go an extra year of school before college.
6.15 I say teens Should be tried as adults. Teens know what they should and should not be doing. Its not like they have no idea what there doing, they know what their doing and why their doing it. Crimes that have to do with killing any living thing should have an adult sentence depending on the age. The minimum age for being tried for an adult should be like 13 or 14 years old. My opinion wouldn’t really be different if it was someone I knew. They shouldn’t have done and and therefore they deserve and punishment. If someone close to me was a victim I would want them to be punished, and tried as an adult, depending on the crime. Juveniles who commit drastic adult crimes should be tried as adults, because like I said before they know what their doing, and why their doing it. They are acting just like adults when they do it and should be tried as adults.
I do think maybe a teen or a child should be punished or tried as an adult. Here is why I think maybe because in some cases like killing or drugs they are committing an adult crime then they should serve the time. But for a kid crime like stealing or running away the should serve a minors punishment. This is why I think a teen or child maybe serve an adult punishment.
6.10 I think teens should only be tried as adults only if the do something really bad. like kill a bunch of people or rob a bank because. If you kill someone I think you should have to go to jail for it and go for life. I don't think if someone close to me had been accused of a crime like that it would not change what I think. About it or them I would tell them up yours old man because they must have done something really bad.
I think it depends on who the person is and if they understand what they have done and how they did it. I think if it was murder in cold blood then the person should have to face the adult charges. I'd say if the person is 8-9 or younger they should just be charged with the non-adult charges. IF my best friend killer her parents in cold blood I would think she should have to face the adult charges. If it was in the spur of the moment and she was regretting it then I would think she should be convicted as a juvenile. My opinion wouldn't change just because I know her personally. I think under age teens and children who commit drastic adult-like crimes that are premeditated should be charged with adult charges, but only if it was premeditated.
To:6.8 From:6.3 I agree with you on what you said about how to be tried as an adult. It depends on how bad it is and that's how you mostly explained it..
6.22-I don't think children should be prosecuted, convicted, or sentenced as adults. The reasoning for that, is what if they were forced to or they were protecting themselves. I don't think when people kill somebody because they were trying to help, defending, or saving somebody's life. The minimum age for being tried as adults should be 18, because you know what your doing at that age. They are capable of stopping or preventing that stuff from happening. I would be really mad, but i still don't think that they should be tried as adults. You don't know what was going on, maybe it was an accident or the person close to me did it by him self and that person just happened to be there. So we don't know. I think that they should just go to a holding center if they committed an adult like crime. All in all, I don't think under-aged kids should be tried as adults under any circumstances.
6.8: i think that #5 is rong if you plan a murder and they are charged with a murder then they can and go out back at 18 and kill a couple more before life. So that this is why you should be tried as an adult.
6.6 Teens and children should not be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults for adult crimes. If they still live with there parents it's because they are not responsible for all of what they do. Crimes that adults get in prison for life should be a bigger punishment for teens and children to maybe not as bad though. The minimum age for which a person should be tried as an adult at the age of eighteen because that is when they take responsible for their own life. If someone close to me was accused for something and they were underage my opinion would not change. Children and teens are separated from adults for a reason and should not always be tried as an adult does that mean it's okay? no.
6.26 Teens and children should be prosecuted,convicted,and sentenced like adults. Most kids know what crime they have done or are going to do but they still do it because they know they wont be convicted as adults because of their age. Killing & rape are crimes that teens have to be convicted as adult if it was intentional, but if it was an accidental they should be convicted as under aged. If you are 10 and up you should be tried as an adult if its a big crime because its an age that you understand whats wrong and whats right. Even if some one close to me like my brother that's 12 should still be tried as an adult because he did some thing wrong and has to face justice. All in all, if you understand what a crime is you should be convicted as an adult because you did what you knew you shouldn't of done.
In my opinion i think it depends. It depends of how old is the kid and what they did. I think murder and rape should be an adult crime. The minimum age for being tried as an adult is 16 years old. The reason why i think this is a good age is cause when your 16 you already know what's good and bad. If one of my friends was accused i wouldn't change my opinion because they are old enough to know what's gonna happen to them. If one of my friends was the victim i still wouldn't change my opinion. I think what should be done is give them a few years of prison so they learn that what they did was a bad choice.
6.20 I believe so if they did and are convicted just like adults if they did and adult like crime. If a minor did an adult crime he or she done. There should be no minimum. They just want to get out of it. If a teen murders some one then a reasonable punishment is life in prision.
6.16 I think it depends on the crime and the person who committed the crime. I think this because it should depend on the person because what if it was an unintentionally crime , such as a little kid messing around with his fathers gun ? I'm pretty sure the child didn't know any better & he accidentally shot someone but he knew that it wasnt intentional .I think the minimum age for being tried as an adult should be at least 16 because teens should know better and if it wasnt intetionally then obviously the teen should've known better not to mess with a weapon .I dont think my opinion wouldnt be any different because it is true if they were mature enough to know not to play with any kind of weapon then he shouldnt have played or messed with it in the first place . My opinion still wouldn't have been different if someone close to me was a victim of a crime commited by a juvenille because its still not fair . Maybe give them a sentence but not as long as an adult like crime .
6.24 I don't think teens and children should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like an adult. I feel this way because they are just children, they sometimes don't know any better and it just depends on the crime. One crimes that should warrant adult sentences is murder. I think the minimum age for being tried as an adult is 18 because the already know the rules and what can happen and they are adults when they turn 18. If one of my underaged family members was accused of a crime it wouldn't change my opinion. If the juvenile was 18 and they were a premeditated murder i think they would have to go to jail for life because no one should kill anyone. In conclusion i think children and teens should be tried as an adult.
Dear 6.22, I completely agree with you because you are right about how people under 18 really don't prevent themselves from over reacting to things and they don't have much self control.
6.19 Teens and children should not be prosecuted,convicted,and sentence like adults-like crime. I think it should not be convicted as a crime because that may affect their life. Also our parent tell us to don't do this or not. Is underage accused for crime because it should be at least 18 to be accused for a crime. They should not be teens and children convicted as crime.
6.6 6.02 I disagree with you because if you tried a child as an adult they may have to go to prison which is something a child should never have to do.
6.#27 I think that teens and children should be prosecuted,convicted,and sentenced like adults for adult-like-crimes because it wouldn't be fair if some kids and teens do adult-like-crimes and get away with it and some kids and teens don't. The crimes that should be warrant adult sentence is killing people. The crimes that shouldn't be warrant adult sentence is when people steal things. What should be done to juveniles who commit drastic adult-like-crimes should not get special treatment. Clearly those are the reasons why kids and teens should be tried as adults.
6.29- I think that teens should be tried as adults if they purposely murdered someone or if they did something as bad as that. If they have a self-defense case then they should be strictly interrogated with two-five child psychologists to observe and give in their best opinions to see if he/she is pulling off a fantastic liar. If they were really considered as a self-defense case then they should be sent to a juvenile detention facility(JDF) for a good set amount of time. As an example if they are 10-15 they should be in a JDF till they are 18. If they are under 10 then they should be let with some room, because not very many 9 or 8 year old kids can seriously think about murder to kill their parents.Bananas everywhere, HELP ME HELP!(if you read this don't take it out it's so no cheats this out of their work) (take out this () please) Anyone over the age of 15 should have a complete and utterly certain decision to send him to prison or juvy. My overall opinion for this is that they should be tried as adults under extreme circumstances such as homicide, robbery of like a bank or a big facility, or if they commit a minor act of terrorism.
2-16 I do not think teens and children should be prosecuted, convinced, or sentenced like adults or adult like crimes, They are only teens how should they know as much as adults do. Plus adults do more worse crimes then teens do. They shouldn't be treated like adults until they are adults! I think they should the warrant of a crime that should be sentenced is if they sexually harassed someone, or if they killed someone. But if it is a crime that is because you didn't show up to court, or didn't pay your part of a fine, I do not think it should be sentenced. I think 21 and up should be tried as an adult, because you will be an adult for the rest of your life but you will be a teen for a short amount of time. I personally do not think my opinion would change. Maybe if it was one of my older siblings. I don't know what I would think if i knew someone that was accused. I think that they should be in juvy for a long time if they committed murder.

Dear 6.5 I agree with what you said to #3 they deserve to be tried as and adult I mean they are almost adults, and they know what they are doing.
