Agreed.

You know, by not really making them completely responsible for their actions, we enable kids to do some pretty hideous things. A 13 year old knows right from wrong, and while they may not have the best impulse control, how many 13 year olds do you know who would kill someone? Most wouldn’t. Those who would should be disposed of. I hate to sound harsh, but I cannot imagine these *youngsters* growing up to be productive adults. This makes me so angry.
I’d also like to know more about their parents. While good parents CAN produce awful kids, I suspect that most of the monsters produced had parents who weren’t doing any kind of job raising them, and in my mind they share culpability.
