Good Point Jordyn.. As i eluded to in an earlier post...

I think that children are dealt with too softly.. "Look, i capped that dude, and i'll be out in two years.. All i'm getting is juvie..."
Thats the basic thoughts that kids nowadays have... And then you get the adult who misshappenly gets caught up in some juvies plans and he gets jail for a MINOR offense... The kid? Bah, it HAD to be the adults fault.. the other was just a kid...
I believe that it all stems from trying to protect the abused children. It was a good idea taken to the extreme by social doogooders that have there heads up there arses...
They yelled at their child.. poor child shouldn't have that happen to them.. Punish the parent for trying to discipline their child(who was probably being an arse anyways).
I beleive that they should LOWER the criminal age for adult type crimes.. Treat these kids in like fashion of their crimes.. Over 14 and commit serious crimes? GO TO JAIL not juvie hall.. Lets see the gangs work around that as easily as they do now...
