Based on the article, I believe the age should be lowered, so that teenagers can receive the same punishment if they are unable to do so, legislation should be passed onto the person that determines whether or not a person is to br treated as an adult based on how crucial and severe the crime they have committed is.

I believe that any kid who is part of a crime should pay for their actions. I think that at the age of 15 kids are able to know what they are doing. However, they shouldn't just be punished as complete adults. Providing help from experts can be very helpful for their rehabilitation.

i believe that kids under 16 should be tried as adults as long as the crime is really bad and it's bad that they release people like that at 25.

I believe that these kids should be held upon their own actions because even though their brain hasn't developed they can still distinguish doing the good thing from the bad thing

I feel that if a bad crime is committed by a 15 year old he should be charged as an adult because at that age you've developed a consciousness that has some rational.

I feel there should be some big punishment while also giving them that help to become a better person in the future. Some aren't taught them same things and all have lived very different lives that some things may have impacted them and changed them as a kid.

After reading this article about teens not being tried as adult is very annoying seeing young kids getting away with awful crimes that have committed, and should not get away with it because of their age.

What I suggest based off this article is that they should lower the age so that teens are able to receive the same punishment and if they aren't able to do such a thing they should make a law based off which, depending on the level of crime that was committed is what decides whether they be treated as an adult or not. If this law does get created no sympathy should be given based off their age, for example if someone the age of 12 commits murder they should receive adult punishments.

If they did the crime under the age of 16 they should still be punished for their crime. If they commit a heinous act they will be punished by the law.

I believe that they shouldn't just cut their sentences to a short one because whether or not they still committed the crime and they still did what they did and they should own up to it. Doesn't matter what it is they should own up to their actions because at the end of the day every action has a reaction.

I think that their age should not allow them from getting away from everything. However, I do not think that they should be recieving time in jail like an adult and with adults. Teens should instead be placed in rehabitiliation.

I think depending on the crime they should understand that young people deserve a chance for growth and reform, rather than being subjected to adult penalties that may effect their future prospects.

I beleve that teens should get more than just a slap on the rist. The only way that they will learn actions and consequences is if there are stricter consequences.

I think that it is not fair whatsoever for the victims. People's lives were lost and it was not taken seriously due to the person being a minor, who is viewed as young, dumb, and not fully developed. They are more than old enough to know right from wrong at 15.

I think kids should be held up to their actions. If they are able to commit crimes or even murder people, they should also be able to take full responsibility for what they did and get the right punishment for it.

They should be able to trial a teenager as an adult depending on the severity of the crime committed. If the kid only gets a small punishment, they are led to believe that they can do it again and get away with it.

I feel that that is ridiculous that if a 15 year old does a heinous crime that in California they are not trialed as an adult until 25. I think that it should be lowered even more because I think in this day and age people are not learning from their past mistakes and will continue to commit these crimes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that these kids should be given a punishment because they cant just get away from killing someone to gain respect. that person he killed could've been a good innocent person or a father. he should be given at least 50 more years in prison.

# data[].attributes.body
my comment has to do with how they are treated if they are treated like garbage they not only will continue with the crime they have committed but they will also have even more crimes they will commit in the time they are set free

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that people under 16 years old should still be tried for a heinous crime such as murder or rape. These children that are 15 years old should know by that age that murder is a serious crime same with rape and that it has great consequences that come with it, if they are broken.

# data[].attributes.body
I think its crazy that a 15 year old murdered innocent people and are only being incarcerated until they're 25

They should lower the age at which the teens are tried as adults because I think at the age of 14 - 15 is when kids tend to be more curious about certain things. When their more curious they are more likely to go out and do something that is not right and get in trouble with the law. Letting them off easy will not be any beneficial.

I believe that teenagers should get lengthy sentences for the heavier crimes they commit until they are old enough to be tried as an adult.
