Kids Should Be Tried As Adults

Juveniles when convicted in a court of a law for heinous crimes they should be held accountable as adults, therefore they should be tried as an adult. When kids are convicted for a crime they should be considered as an adult because in their mind they are cautious of what they are doing or perhaps while they were growing up they experience a lot of violence and it may affected their mind for the future. Kids that are ages 11 and up should be considered as an adult because kids such as teenagers should be responsible for their actions. Kids that are ages 11 and older should be considered as an adult.

For example, in the article “Teens sentenced in slaying with bat”, by Ann M. Simmons is about a 13 year old boy kills a 15 year boy with a baseball bat for being bullied before the game started, and the bullied kept provoking the victim, it’s obvious that the boy will get upset and would want to get his rage out on him.

Sometimes the things they learn can be bad and sometimes it can affect the child while growing up. Therefore, parents should be careful what their kids are watching now a day because cartoons that have violence in it can sometimes persuade the child to do something awful. Kids that are ages 3-10 shouldn’t be eligible of watching or seeing violence in any sort of way because then later on it can affect their mindset because kids are still developing their minds.
