Kids Are Kids - Until They Commit Crimes

By: Marjie Lundstrom
In the article, "Kids are Kids - Until They Commit Crimes", Lundstrom talks about the issue that a 12 year old boy is being tried as an adult. He argues the point that kids are only treated as kids in society, but when they commit crimes they are being convicted as adults. Lundstrom uses the case of Lionel Tate in his argument. He states, "Lionel Tate—who was twelve when he savagely beat to death a six-year-old girl—will likely learn if he must spend life in prison after his lawyer unsuccessfully tried to put pro wrestling on trial." Lundstrom concludes that "adolescents squeezed through the adult system are more likely to come out as violent career criminals than similar kids handled on the juvenile side."
