Parents should supervise their kids activity on the internet. Heck...your kid's laptop should have a spyware on it. If you don't have one go to your local NSA. They're happy to serve.
School computer? I don't really think it was school computer however most kids can understand fiction and real and they will b a ok 1 out of a million will have an issue with this understand to such a degree that they read something that says its fake yet believe its real so punish the parents because their kids mind is messed up from the get go? Then again it was their genetics but then again they can blame their parents for that.
The key is to spread the blame to a few groups (parents, kids, school) as opposed to lumping into one mass and throwing it at one group exclusively
Two boys in England killed a young child. Dragged him away and killed him knowingly. They released them at 18 with hidden identities and both are back inside for committing other violent offences. Broken minds no matter the age have no place in society. If rehabilitation is possible then by all means. But without early intervention. Without the school or parents catching children that are likely to offend ( and trust me that's not as hard as it sounds with decent teachers ) then all we can do is remove them from society. Justice is about honouring the rights of the victim and hopefully creating less victims Not protecting the guilty.
Those all effect children parents raise them in a harsh environment kids will think that's is ok that will mess them up more then any video games, kids have genetic issues or just plain evil for a unknown reason well ouch, school not truly supervising what they're doing or making them believe what they did is not that bad or better what their friends let them believe is not that bad is a bigger picture.
@Moose I agree some people just come out just broken. They seem find for the longest time but in the inside the thing that isn't right will show some signs that something isn't right and you should check it out like take a car to a mechanic or anything like that. And I guess the parents just acted like nothing was wrong. So parents are some what to blame for but we have not been there so we can't judge on that point much until proven is no (somebody might have said it but read half of the the comments)
Ok...so I did a bit of research about this. The stabbing happened during a slumber party in the woods. So I can only assume was night. 3 little girls in the woods during the night. Now tell me again how the parents are not responsable at all.
So u gonna look at the environment the children Were in look for the flaws. Did parents the parents break every law known to man or just let them play a game (they were rated old enough to play). Did school punish the kids if he got into fights? Or just slap him on the wrist saying honey please don't do it again Or was he sent to a alternative school?
Well which parent was to b watching them? I'm sure 2 of the kids parents thought there was better supervision. However that fall back into the circumstances of the parents.
A parent shouldn't tought. A parent should CHECK with the other parents if there is supervision. If I'd have a 12 years old daughter and is telling me she's going to a slumber party at her friend first thing I'll do is to call her friends parents to check that they have everything under control.
You can bet your ass no 12 year old daughter of mine would be wandering the wood's with her friends for a slumber party unless myself or one of the other parents was in a tent next to there's with a loaded 12 gauge. Now as for the criminal responsible part fact is yes they knew exactly what there actions would cause however the law is the law and as such we can't pick an choose for each case depending on the public outrage. If your wanting to try them as adults then you change the law for everyone.
You cannot control your kid's mind only influence it kids can grow up loved by their parents, told right from wrong, but it is the child's brain that will allow this to sink in but end up doing wrong still, does that mean the parent failed the child? No you just did the best you could. Kids will eventually come up with their own mindset and stay with it till their young adults, and those young adults still won't listen to their parents, cause as kids and young adults we feel as if we don't need to be told this and that because we already have the answer, when but reality is we kinda really don't because we're just hard headed but I don't expect you adults to get that because your likely too old and have already change your mindset cause in reality you were the same but chose to forget about it or you were raised in a whole different generation but in today's world that generation no longer applies to us and society changes thus changes your kids, and sometimes that cannot be helped
The law allows it to b change depending on the circumstances. Pretty sure the circumstances went pretty badly towards the kids however they are much younger then the ones that are normally borderline.
However when ppl say it is the parents fault that isn't normally a bad statement a lot that kids do is bc the parents say it's ok when it's really lot such as drugs but in a environment that doesn't even allow violent video games is another story. That doesn't mean they don't still have fault but they didn't totally set their kid up either.
This is incorrect. It was in the woods, later in the day, but it was daylight. The man who found her was out biking. Here is a great link for a timeline: http://abcnews.go.com/US/fullpage/slend ... s-25701340
The case of the tragedy that was Jamie bulger your referring too proves one thing the systems broken and currently rehabilitation is almost impossible, The reason I say this is due to the fact both parties have since been convicted of other crimes. One (john venebales I think ) was found to have a laptop containing extremely inappropriate images of children. An the cost to the British taxpayers to protect those two animals has been proven to be unjustifiable
