Kids Are Kids - Until They Commit Crimes - Article 1 atiqpasa1 https://padlet.com/b1415jimenez/oxh0bd49loai/wish/161882201 By Marjie Lundstrom

Main argument: Never mind that he is indisputably twelve at the time of “the incident.” Is he a boy? Or a man?

It is a vexing question these days for the under-eighteen crowd, the group we routinely write off as “only kids.” It’s why they can’t smoke, or drink, or go to R movies without our OK. It’s why they don’t vote. It’s why they have curfews. It’s why we fret over their Internet access and fuss about driving privileges. (paragraphs 2-3)

Example:
Last month in Sacramento, a fifteen-year-old Yuba City youth who reportedly claimed he was mimicking a TV program about little girls who rob a bank was given a 26-years-to-life prison term. Tried as an adult, Thomas A. Preciado was fourteen when he stabbed to death a mini mart clerk. (paragraph 12)
Conclusion:
"No one's talking about coddling here. But the zeal to corral wildly troubled, ever-younger kids and ram them through the adult system belies everything the juvenile justice system is all about: that kids are different." (paragraph 14)

Main arguments : Weapons make it too easy for these teens to kill. If If brain development were the reason, then teens would kill at roughly the same rates all over the world.
"The nationwide campaign to end JLWOP has spent millions of dollars
advocating for these convicted murderers to be set free. Not a dime has been allocated for victim outreach or support." (paragraph 9)
Also states that they are not sentencing them to die in prison , and that the life sentence still allows a good living for them and more than the murdered loved ones.
Examples : "The offender in our case was a serial killer in the making. He came from privilege. Whenever he got in trouble, his parents fixed it." (paragraph 7 )
They feature propaganda photos of 7- and 8- year-old child models on the cover, with misleading headlines that the United States was “sentencing children to die in prison.”
Conclusion : The author concludes he essays by stating that the United States is one of the only nations to sentence teens to life for murder. Other nations treat their teens the same as adults and in some cases even worse.

Issue: Teenage brains are still developing and so teens should not be tried as adults.
Main arguments:
-teen brains are still developing.
-Putting a teen in jail doesn't stop the problem.
Examples: "In terms of cognitive development, as research on the human brain has shown, Brazill—and any other young teen—is far from adulthood."
Conclusion: While research on brain-tissue loss can help us to understand teens better, it cannot be used to excuse their violent or homicidal behavior. But it can be used as evidence that teenagers are not yet adults, and the legal system shouldn’t treat them as such.

2. The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays
"All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die" (Brenda Ann Spencer
