??!!??What??!!?
I give two shits about Wells Fargo. So my issue is with your position of not trying children in criminal courts. What should societies do about children running amok and doing whatever they want? What do you think we should do to educate them about the repercussions of committing crimes?
Therapy and several different pedagogical approaches exist.
Imprisoning* children does not have a positive effect in the vast majority of cases.
To take them away from their peers, take away their freedom and abuse them does NOT teach them how to behave better.
It only compounds whatever trauma and bad decisions led them to act out in the first place, much more frequently leading to a negative spiral where they're deprived of any effective means of bettering themselves, then when they almost inevitably re-offend, they're punished by the same deprivation if not worse.
*juvenile detention being the likely outcome of any criminal proceedings here
This is Texas and it was stealing from the rich those kids are gonna die.
Probably not, but yeah, they'd do it if they could get away with it. Fucking Texas 😮💨
Firstly thanks for replying.
Therapy, works, when the individual wants to change. At this level of crime there is a slim chance of that desire.
Their peers are likely part of the reason they are committing these crimes. Too much freedom due to the environment that they were born into , by no choice of their own, also contributed. To be clear I don't even blame the parents most of the time. Even they can't out influence the friends group. The abuse, well it's no lie that the judicial system needs to be fixed at ALL levels, but where's the money in that?
Your method needs to happen way before they get to this point so that they have less of a chance to get here.
So between juvi and therapy there still isn't a resolution to fix them all. Or even fix a greater percentage of offending children.
These kids, not likey anything will fix one of them let alone all of them. Am I shity for giving up on correcting their learned behavior? Yeah most likely. Facing consequences for ones actions still seems to be the answer for me.
You are a better person than me.
