I understand the concern that some have with the "let them off easy" approach, and I also understand that concern that some people have expressed on the fact that once they turn 18 those records of minor offenses as a juvie get sealed, but they are children at heart and deserve another chance. If they mess up their second chance or continue a life of crime into adulthood, then they should be held responsible for longer periods of time, but until then, until they are old enough to be considered an adult by our current standards of 18 years old, they should be held to a lesser standard and given a second chance.Savanna Myerhttp://www.justicejuice.comnoreply@blogger.com
