Wow, 12 year old kills playmate and gets 26 years.

[Ecthy]

Oh yes, and how do we know that? What basic law of society says so when we talk of a freaking 12-year old?

I can see how people would apply such logic (and disagree) when it comes to adults, but fvcking 12 year olds?

In the same society where sex with 12 year olds is a crime? They're old enough to know right from wrong when it concerns murder but not old enough to consent? What a jip

The treatment must involve social interaction training. How to play with kids your age.

Wouldn't you say it's a bit late for that when you can plan out the murder of another human being and carry it out without even the slightest hint of remorse?

In part I agree with Ecthy,
the boy needs psychological treatment.

But he shouldn´t get it in freedom where things like he has done might happen again, but rather in a closed mental home, where he is under supervision everytime he interacts with other kids.

They might as well throw away the key. He's going to kill again.

I agree.

All the others, Im and DD: what's your idea to prevent stuff like this could happen again? Guys like you always talk of locking up and stuff, like that would help ANYONE in the long run, and NEVER talk of prevention.

It really bothers me that exceptions can be made to the 18 = adult thing when it concerns humans and their desire for revenge, but not other things like sex and voting.

problem is that putting the kid away isnt going to make the victim any less challeneged.

[Ecthy]

Yeah. Maybe the kid should meet some cruel and unusual punishment.

This wasn't just a oops, he stabbed him with a knife thing... this was 34 stab wounds!! Some people are just not rehabitable, even if such things are done at a young age. Lock him up, throw away the key.

[Lorizael]

Maybe he was just reenacting Julius Caesar?

[Nostromo]

Am I the only one who thought, based on the title of the thread, that the boy had killed a Playboy Playmate?

Winston:
Imran:
Dino:
Etchy:

Ozzy:
(Why? He hasn't even posted in this thread, but none the less.)

[Spiffor]

No, I thought the same as well.

[SlowwHand]

Because Ozzy will say the convicted has the right to 26 years, in spite of his age and the brutality of the murder.
