- Aerroon 5y agoSo? Does an AK or pistol pointed in your face by a 14 year old somehow make it less deadly than if he were older? https://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/violence-in-rio-de-janeiro-child-soldiers-in-the-drug-wars-a-469510.html https://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/violence-in-rio... Stories like this aren't too uncommon. The ability to charge kids as adults can potentially prevent people from trying to side step the rules.
- tomerv 5y agoIt's not an effective detterent becsuse the kid holding the weapon doesn't understand the consequences. Edit: if you give a child the keys to your car and they hit someone with it, who is at fault?
- Aerroon 5y agoDo you really think that a 14 year old is incapable of understanding that hurting someone is wrong? And that they don't understand that there will be consequences to their actions? Because I find it hard to believe. >Edit: if you give a child the keys to your car and they hit someone with it, who is at fault? Obviously both - you and the child.
