Kind of NSFW- relatively disturbing

Story here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saska...p-conference-bonneau-death-child-suspect.html

So today I read this quite disturbing/thought provoking story in the paper. I wanted to post this thread to get some feedback on how others feel about kids so young committing crimes so dark. Should a child of this age be charged criminally/more severely? Is it reason enough that being an age that young, a kid should be waived the severe penalties of an adult by simply not understanding what he/she did (and should instead be privately rehabilitated)? Perhaps he/she did understand the concept of murder and acted anyway, what then?

Personally I feel something like this should be taken as seriously as possible (which it surely is). Although I'm all for rehabilitation, another part of me feels that even kids of that age should answer for a crime of this severity.
 
what is this obsession with posting sad/tragic/dark stories and asking what our thoughts are? everyones going to say the same things about it being a tragedy, how we need to talk to kids more, etc. what else could you possibly be expecting. if its about just a discussion on the law and children, then why not just say so, there's barely any information released on this 12 year old to try so it might not even connect to this case yet this is whats in the topic title and is the meat of your post.

these threads are fucking depressing, no one wants to see this shit on a forum, i propose we add a ruin my day subforum for stories like this, rape stories, tragedies, etc. but these heres something sad in your social forum now discuss threads are such shit

^This.

"Should a child of this age be charged criminally/more severely? Is it blahblahblahblah concept of murder and acted anyway, what then? Y/N

Are you serious? I really want a third option, the honest one. “I have no damn clue how this world became dark and disturbing, the only current news I follow are celebrity horoscopes and all I want from life is to peak the OU ladder to get laid (and married), own a home in a nice suburb and a nice car to go along with it before I'm 60, and to convince my wife to do that thing I saw in a porno once, while I lie there thinking about her sister. SO STOP ASKING ME ABOUT THINGS I WILL NEVER FULLY UNDERSTAND!”

What’s the point of seeking public opinion on matters like these that require specialised psychiatric and child psychology knowledge? Coupled with exhaustive deliberations? You wouldn't do that with other specialised fields like, say, medicine. That would make hospital visits rather awkward.

No really? What do you want us to say?
"ugh so horrible!", "parents these days", or maybe a troll post or two about violent video games to drive up the post count of this thread?
Because nothing productive will come out of this, except all the bitching about a messed up world. So just stop.
 
Personally I believe if you can't get all the good stuff (rights etc) that an adult gets before you're an adult, then it's kind of bs to be able to charge them for crimes as an adult.
 
yeah, that's ageism!

just because they're too stupid to know how to, I don't know, own a gun safely or something, doesn't mean that they're too stupid to know that beating someone to death is bad
that's really dumb
