Glad you guys find this so humorous. Maybe this dismissive attitude from adults, is what drove them to crime. They could be a gang of orphans, kids escaping abuse. Or they could be taught this by their parents or some other adult taking advantage of their young ages. Which is abuse. Any way you look at it, it's not all that funny. I hope they are caught, clothed, fed, and sat down with a shrink.

I hope they go to jail for awhile and then sort out what their proclivities are. It's been my experience in dealing with juveniles for over 30 years, to find that they aren't acting alone, are being guided by parent or peer forces and know exactly what they are doing.

How has jail ever done anything but make someone more violent and prone to crime. Sending a child to jail is the equivalent to training them to a life of crime. I pity you, and whatever made you so cruel.

And no I don't consider your 30 years harassing a population as a life changing event for you. You went in with bias, and forced it to be what you saw.

I'm not cruel, I'm real.
I don't look at life with rose colored glasses on and I'm not a bleeding heart liberal. Jail for juvies isn't anything like jail for adults.
They have a lot of programs to rehabilitate the young folks....some work, some don't.
I've arrested some who are totally incorrigible and beyond help.

I went in with no bias, I was only 22. I went in wanting to learn and help. Found out that attitude only works with some people.
For most people, if they haven't done the job, they don't have a clue.

I use to think most teachers were really nice people....until I met them on the picket lines during a strike and found out how foul mouthed, despicable and violent, they can be.

Let me tell you a little about me. My mother was a white supremacist, she married my stepfather another white supremacist. For most of my life I was savagely beat, starved, publicly humiliated. I escaped into school, the only time I had free of them. I graduated top of my class, with a full academic scholarship to a state university. 7 months before my 18th birthday, my brother had turned my parents in for trafficking large amounts of cocaine, marijuana, meth, heroin, and weed. He couldn't take the beatings. When the police raided my house. I was beaten by 7 cops while on the ground. What did I do? I unlocked the door and opened it after their battering ram failed. Luckily they didn't shoot me, like they did my dog. My only friend in the entire world. They arrested me, and charged me the same as my parents. Despite my having no involvement with them, other than a life of torture they inflicted upon me and forced me to inflict upon my brother. I spent the last half of my senior year in juvey. It wasn't as bad as living with my parents. Was only beaten twice. I lost my spot as valedictorian. The only reason they didn't charge me, my brother refused to testify if they did. I was almost free, and guys who don't wear rose colored glasses decided No, you're the same as these monsters. I was looking at 30 years. Luckily,my brother loves me. If not for him, I wouldn't have gone to college and lead the wonderful life I have lead since my childhood. I would still be in prison. Where my stepfather died. And my mother still is. The kicker, they charged her with extreme child abuse, neglect, and attempted murder. They knew I was a victim.

**** your system. It didn't save me, when I needed it to. And it tried to destroy me, when I was almost free. They tried to stick me with resisting, just cause. Luckily a jury took pity on me. I didn't lose my scholarship, thankfully. You and those like you are a poison. A cancer. You don't protect anyone, you just destroy. I don't even hate you. I pity you. Because I know there are people like me somewhere in your long career. People you didn't see, as they are. And someday if you're as decent as you think you are. That will haunt you.
 
My daughter is 7. Putting someone like that in jail is asinine.

That was a horrible childhood experience from your description. I'm glad that you were able to turn it around into a positive experience...I really am. I am nothing like the cops you ran into back then. I am a decent guy, displayed a lot of compassion when it was warranted, gave people breaks when I could ..........and nothing I ever did ......haunts me.

Not everyone is the same. I've met 9 year olds who would slit your throat for a couple bucks....and laugh about it.

<*Sigh*> I'm concerned that our society produces people like this. While, no, I don't buy into left's typical narrative about how this came to be, nor how to solve it, at least not without some sort of balanced approach (say like using both carrot and stick? Rather than just carrots?)

Clearly, there's a real problem here, and I'll wager it's not being addressed.

Yes, some serious problems that needs to be addressed.

you know our criminal justice system is broken when kids can be tried simply for being related to criminals
 
Prison, no.

I think they should be put on a station (Americans call a station a ranch) and, with a tough station owner, learn about respect, hard work, self-respect, caring for animals like horses. No work = no eat. Disrespect = more hard work. It would take some time and have its ups and downs, but I believe it would be a better option than prison.

Apparently....you don't know....what you don't know! I've arrested a 9 year old for a vicious assualt and 10 year olds for burglary and robbery.

And that has been an option for many....but some are so incorrigible that the ranch doesn't work.

How much experience do you have in these matters of law enforcement and incarceration/rehab?

You apparently cannot even concieve of anything I say. It's over your head.

There is nothing hateful about my rhetoric....and you are unable to even decipher my posts properly.

Of course you have.

It's the internet - everyone is a cop or has a PhD (that is a really big degree for really smart people).

Nice try.
