21- I think that if the crime is serious enough then a teen could be charger as a criminal. Such as murder,rape,or theft. But anything under serious crimes they should not be charged as an adult. That's what i think about the question for today.

2. 29 I think that teens should be tried and an adult. If a teen does something like kill someone, which I would consider an adult like crime, then they should have an adult punishment. I think that the minimum age for being tried as an adult should be sixteen. If someone close to me was accused of a crime then my opinion wouldn't change. I think that if a teen commits a crime such a murder then they should have to go to jail.

2.#3, I believe juveniles should not be tried as an adult if the crime is minor. If it is a violent crime towards another citizen then they should be tried based upon the level of the crime. If a juvenile committed a crime against me or another family I'd probably feel sympathetic and hope they get tried as a minor. Unless of course the crime was extreme. So juveniles should be tried upon the level of the crime they committed.

2.23 yes I believe that kids and teens should be sent to adult jail/prison if they know what they are doing and know what the consequences are.The age limit should be 10 or up if you kill somebody like your parents or any other serious crime. now if someone close to me got accused for something like that i would have to keep my opinion. because they knew what was going to happen they should have never killed the guy in the first place.That is how I would feel if someone close to me was accused of committing an adult like crime.

2-4- I feel that minors should not be able to be tried as adults unless we have the same rights as adults. If we're underage and we are held up to the same standards as adults we should have the same right as adults. I think the minimum age to be tried as an adult is whichever age you get your adult rights. It's basically a dictatorship to a degree, the government can control my actions if they so choose than I can. I feel if they think we're old enough to commit the crime and be tried as an adult that we should have the same rights as an adult. Overall i find our system extremely flawed, unfair, and unacceptable.

23-21 I agree with you.

2.5. I think it depends on what they are being charged with. I think this because some things you get charged for and they get charged to much time. If they kill people and stuff like that they should get adult time but not for stuff that's hot a huge deal. The minimum age should be 17 because your almost an adult. It would be different because I am really close to them. I think people that murder and are under age should spend the same time as adults. In conclusion that's why I think it depends on what they do.

2.14 In Some cases teens should be charged as adults. I think they should only be charged with rape, murder,and serious cases of arson. I think teens should be able to be charged with adults crimes at fifth-teen, because at that age A teen should be in complete control of there actions.In conclusion i think teens should be charged as adults in some cases.

23-21 it is a good opinion that if it isn't a serious crime a kid should not have to go to adult situations.

#22# I don't think teens and kids should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced like adults for adult like crimes. For the reason that teens and kids dont know what they are doing when they are young. I think only like killing people or really dangerous robbery. I think he minimum age for being tried as an adult should be age 16 because at 17 I think you know what ur doing with life now. I don't think my opinion would change unless me or the other person did something that wasn't real bad that should get us there. I think juveniles that commit drastic adult like crimes should be charged as an adult the second time and the first time they should probably be in jouvenile jail for a while. That's is what I think about teens and kids being prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for adult like crimes.

3-29 i agree that if it is murder they should be tried as an adult, they definitely know what they did/doing is wrong.

25.2- YES, I think if a kid is going to do a really bad crime then they should be charged as an adult. Its not good to let people back into society if they do a crime like murder or rap. If someone murders someone or raps someone at a young age then their are going to do that for the rest of their lives. If we just let them off with almost no punishment then their just going to do it again and hurt more and more people.

2- I think that if the the crime committed was serious enough like a bunch of murders than yes I think that person should definitely be sent to adult jail. But, on the other hand the prosecutors should have a decent amount of evidence from each of the crime scenes. The crimes that should be punished with Adult sentencing are: Murder,Vehicular assault, Attempted murder and all that applies with attempting to harm a person. The minimum age requirements for this should be anywhere from 12 and up. If I ever had someone I knew be prosecuted I would probably think like the rest of the people sitting in the podiums which would be," He's only a kid." But this is the world we live in and that child knew exactly the harm he was putting off to that person so sadly, but truthfully, He deserves the sentence.

7- I believe that since people under the age of eighteen are not yet full adult US citizens, they should not be tried as an adult for any type of crime. The minimum age for being tried as an adult should be eighteen years old. If someone under the age of eighteen who was close to me committed a serious crime, I think they should still be tried as a youth. If a serious crime was brought upon to someone close to me by a youth, the offender still should be tried as a child. Although people under the age of eighteen may cause serious crimes, I believe that these people should not be tried as adults.

I think children and underaged minors should be charged as adaults for aldault crimes because it's that persons responsibilities. The crimes that minors should be charged as adaults is robbery/theft, breaking and entering, and tickets. The minimum age a kid should be tried as an adault I think, is 12. Kids being tried before the age of 12 would probably be terrified and really stressful on there parents. I've been accused of a crime before and its not fun taking on the responsibilities like going to court paying a ticket and getting in trouble with your family. Therefore, if someone close to me gets accused for a crime my opinion wouldn't change about the minimum age because it's a lot stress and responsibilities for an underaged kid. I dont think the age would matter if a person was convicted of murder, they should have to face the charges no matter the age because they killed someone.

3-4 i agree with you. if minors arent treated as adults, we shouldnt be punished as adults.

30 I think that it really depends on the crime commited by the teen(s). Crimes like murder, rape, or serious theft depending on how serious the theft is. Any other crimes below murder, rape, or serious theft should not be tried as adults. The minimum age for being tried as an adult should be 11 because at the age they should have been taught not to rob a bank, or kill somebody, or rape anybody that's younger or older.

2.5.I agree with 14 because some things they should be charged like an adult.

2.17 Yes, they should, to an exstant, because premeditated anything should always be fixed. If it's a robbery, they can be charged as a child, if it is a homicied then it can be up in the air untill decided homicied, self defence, or premditated, but premeditated should always be charge in an adult court of law. No matter what it is, thirteen should be the minimum age to be tried as an adult because twelve and under, its silly to think they would think of a murder and plan it out. It would obviusly be different for someone actually be convicted but if it was me, I would keep my opinion. it wouldn't be different if someone did it to someone i know or if someone i know did it. All in all, every juvenile that commits a drastic adult crime, and there is proof of them doing ot, should be convicted and should be put in a cell with someone with an equaly heinous crime.

I agree with you because at 17 you should be sure of what they are doing

I think that teens and children should get prosecuted as an adult if their crime was like an adult crime. I think the crimes should be murder and rape. The minimum age should fifteen because that is when you start high school. I think that my opinion would not change if was me or my family because rules are not for you or anyone else. All in all, that what I think how teens should be tried.

I think that depending on the crime the kid or teen shouldn't be charged as an adult. The reason why I think this is we aren't adults and we don't know any better, also we aren't even aloud to vote or 18 and that is when you are you own legal adult. I think he minimum age should be 16. I think if the kid kills someone and it wasn't self defense then ya he should be charged as an adult. All an all I think it all depends on how drastic the situation is to be charged as an adult

2-29- 29 I think that sixteen is a good age but the age could be put a little lower like 11+ because at the age of eleven the kid has some say for his actions and knows what he is doing.

I understand what you are saying about being 17 to be charged but its mostly young minors that get in trouble.

I think it depends whether teens and children should be tried as adults. It depends on the person's state of mind during the crime. I think the minimum age for being tried as and adult should be eleven or twelve. I was probably defend someone close to me underage was accused for a crime, but again, it depends on the state of mind. Certainly,I believe that if a juvenile commits a drastic adult-like crime then they should be tried as an adult.

I agree with you because whos to say if the murder was in self defense or not so i think if its in self defense it should be taken off the record at 18

I believe teens and children should be tried as adults depending on how serious the accused crime is. Murder should warrant adult sentences something. I think the minimum age to be tried as an a adult should be eleven. At the age of twelve kids start having to try to be more mature. No child wants to have they're childhood crushed for something they might have not done. If someone close to me was accused of something ad they were underage my opinion would not change. In the end it all depends on the crime supposedly being done.
