What they definitely know is the fact that with the current legal system they CAN GET AWAY WITH MURDER!
It is ridiculous that heinous acts committed by teenagers can go practically unpunished.

To many young offenders are getting away with so much no a day. Certainly, the crime rate has gone up substantially. Something has to be done about this!

I have a 10 year old who knows right from wrong. I have a right to know if any person living in my neighbourhood or city has murdered someone no matter what age. The innocent people who follow the laws have the rights, not the perpetrators. If the Young Offenders Act is not done away with then we can expect more and more vicious crimes. Kids are kids, some make small mistakes like petty theft, but taking another person's life is not petty.

Age is just a number. Stop hiding these Young People who commit heinous crimes. Publishing their names could be a deterrent in its self. The courts must come down hard on anyone who commits murder by any means...gun, knife...Intensionally taking a life must carry a serious penalty, no matter the age. Please change the Youth C. J. Act.

A two year old knows that it is bad to kill, so why is it unfair to assume that anyone older then that also has that knowledge. Unless there is a mental disorder, the person(s) should be charged as an adult. Everyone has the ability to reason and if that ability is not present, is when the youth criminal act should apply. There are too many deaths, and something needs to be done about it.

]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:04:44 UTC 3554764 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3538717?utm_medium=rss I spent time working in our Penal Instituitions, and one thing I learned was those who commited heinous crimes as youths with no remorse go on to commit even worse crimes. Our youth today are so protected they seem to feel they can do anything without having to be accountable. It time punishment begins to suit the crime no matter what the age.

]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2008 07:37:27 UTC 3538717 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3532899?utm_medium=rss If only we could mandate that all children receive appropriate counselling in their youth... but since that isn't likely going to happen, longer sentences need to come. There needs to be a clear, and unattractive, consequence to the action.

]]> Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:13:28 UTC 3532899 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3334573?utm_medium=rss Persons of this age group know right from wrong. We can teach 5 year olds right from wrong. Heinous crimes by individuals should be dealt with regardless of age. People over the age of 13 definitely know right from wrong unless they are mentally challenged.

Let the punishment fit the crime, especially in capitol offences.

]]> Sun, 9 Mar 2008 10:49:38 UTC 3214675 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3159671?utm_medium=rss It's time for kids to be shown what happens when they commit crimes. Enough slaps on the wrist - time to get tough and show them we're not going to take it anymore whether it be major crimes or repeat offenders.

It is time to put a scare in our youth for our protection and the good of all, most of all them. Although I believe we should also be changing laws for the adult criminals as well.

A 17 yr old will think less of committing a crime than an 18 year old who knows it will and can change their life on a more severe level. And, there should definately be harsher punishments for harsher crimes. It is not right that a 17yr old commits a crime and gets off committing the same crime an 18yr old!
