Kids are different from adults for the very reason that we don't let kids drink alcohol, gamble or vote - which is, they are immature and do not have the same capacity as adults to make sound judgement. Why would we treat a kid the same as an adult that commits an assault when we as a society have already deemed that kids do stupid things because their judgement is not developed. Punish them? Absolutely Punish them harshly? Absolutely if it fits the crime. Try them as adults? Why? When he as a society have recognized that kids should not be allowed to drink, gamble vote because their judgement is questionable. Otherwise...aren't we being a wee bit hypocritical as a society?
Life happened to me. I've read far too many new headlines about people getting beaten, raped, murdered, robbed, etc. for absolutely no reason. I'm not being cynical, I'm being realistic. There are dangerous people in the world, and I prefer that they were dealt with accordingly.
No we are not. We are prudent to start punishing offenders as early as possible. This was a violent vicious attack for no real reason.
Yea, thanks to your attitude. This is what we have on buses now a days. Violent beatings over being snitched on by older stronger kids on the weak ones. Hope you are proud.yep, that three year old who bites in day care
send his ass to jail. don't pass go, don't tell his parents
just get him off the street ... preferably before nap time
There are dangerous people in the world but you make a choice about when to turn to cynicism and start calling it realism, it's a matter of perception not reality, therefore subjective. I understand the notion of someone really being too far gone to reach. I am certain however I would make that call at a very different place than most conservatives.
They are always sorry, when they get caught.
That's right buddy, all us guys have seen it. Your problem is you forget that usually don't see it, and no one talked about it either. This was caught on video for the world to see. The cat's out of the bag now, and something has to been done. The school bus driver was forced to stand on the sideline and watch. That wouldn't have happened in our day. If a teacher or bus driver was around and able to stop it, they would have.
And the parents are to blame for not instilling those things in to their little thug children.

You have GOT to be kidding here? The father saying "I'm sorry for what happened to the victim, but that's just the way it is?" What the hell is that?
Sorry, but these kids, all three of them should be charged as adults, and serve time.
What say you?

actions? ... yeah, missed it ... wasn't there ... nothing there about actions.Yes, and if one has real self-respect, his actions will not be destructive to others. Did you miss the part about dignity and actions?
Too be honest I couldn't tell you as it wasn't 3 white kids, however if your trying to argue that the US Justice system favours young black males over young white males I think you would be having a laugh.
Bull, parents that instill proper beliefs in their children from the beginning do not have these problems with their kids just about killing a class mate on a school bus.You are wrong and I'll tell you why you are wrong: Children, like adults can do whatever they want to do when there is no one there to stop them. It's called free will. We are all born with it.
Anyone can instill whatever they want to instill in their children and there will never be a guarantee that those children won't do whatever they want to do some time in the future.

.Free will can be reigned in with proper upbringing
That is your incorrect opinion, which, with a few dollars,will buy you a cup of coffee.
But I'm not buying it.
My observation, after living on this planet for seventy years, is that's not the way that life works.
But, hey, believe whatever you want to believe.
Won't cost me a nickel, or cramp my lifestyle.
So you believe these three were born anti social?

So we do nothing.True...but it doesn't change the facts that we as a society recognize that children are different from adults and believe that they are not emotionally and mentally mature enough to make wise and reasoned decisions. We recognize that their judgement is not the same as adults. So why would we ever treat them as we would adults?
So we do nothing.
And dont start throwing out all the mamby pamby things that already have been done and tried.
I have a newphew that got the same punishment for breaking into a home.
He didnt hurt anyone, but he did take a minibike off the porch.
Him and his idiot buddy thought because it was a classmate and friend it would be ok, well the parents of the other kid didnt feel the same way. LOL
But thats about what he got, 9 months probation.
He didnt hurt anyone, he didnt really "steal" in the sense that it was for profit. It was joy riding. But it was wrong and he knew it.
So he got busted. Lost alot of time out of school and was kicked off the baseball team. Of which he was scolarship bound probably to Florida State.
So he gets the same punishment as the three thugs that beat another kid mercilessly and break his arm.

No. We should punish them harshly in the juvenile system.
Define harsh.
