Abstract Bringing Adam Home is a thrilling, heart wrenching, stomach knotting novel on the kidnapping and murder of a young boy, whose family was dragged through the fascists of the local police and investigators; with many years passing finally gaining justice and peace within. With the case of Adam Walsh in the early 80’s there were really no worries about child abductions or missing children so there were no alert system set in many local police departments. Also, local police departments did not have the experience or technology to handle such high case crimes. The parents of Adam Walsh would be the forerunners of developing programs and alerts databases that helped find and bring missing children home and bring many highly wanted criminals to justice.

BSHS/335 Case Study: Approaches to Ethical Dilemmas Case 14 titled “A Minor Confidentiality Issue” is about a six-year-old male child named Tavion Robinson who was taken to Methodist Hospital for a broken arm and abrasions. Tavion’s father explained to the nurse that Tavion had fallen from playground equipment and that is how he got hurt. The father’s behavior in not wanting the child to be left alone with the medical team that was on at the time of his visit started making the nursing staff question if the injury actually happened the way it did, as well as the abrasions being to clean for happening by falling off playground equipment. After Tavion was treated and they were leaving the hospital Tavion’s father wanted the staff to put a note in his file that he was to be notified if anybody was trying to access his son’s medical record. Tavion’s father also put on the note that he was divorced and that his mother was not allowed access to their son’s medical records for any reason.
We turn to the police to solve our issues at any given time and there should be no excuses on why they can’t. As the citizen of the U.S I believe the police were responsible for the traumatic events that these innocent boys had to face due to the manipulative remarks, racial profiling and the lack of effort. The teenage boys were from age 14-16, just by looking upon the fear in their eyes the police took this as an advantage. The boys were videotaped during their confessionals one by one. Since, they were under-age some of the boy’s parents were present during the interrogation.

I am confident in the decision I have declared because the offenders should not have been convicted of this crime simply because there were so many loop holes in which they could have been entrapped especially, during the interview interrogation. After spending fourteen years with one of the offenders losing his life there was no facts really that led towards a factual conviction of them committing this crime. Fourteen years later one of the offenders was release and one dead while being incarcerated. The case was reopened and a new DNA test was conducted including that the strain of hair found on one of the original suspects was found to not be from the victim as originally
[2][3] Arrested a month before his 16th birthday,[4] he was tried and convicted as a minor. By law, this meant that he would be released and his criminal records sealed as soon as he turned 21. [2][5] Price bragged that he would "make history" when he was released. [2] The case led to changes in state law to allow juveniles to be tried as adults for serious crimes, but these could not be applied retroactively to Price.

A ten year old boy was found not guilty by a jury after being accused of the manslaughter of Coreiy Davis who drowned after LMW threw him into the George River knowing he could not swim. This case raised the issue of doli incapax which presumes any child aged ten to fourteen is incapable of criminal intent unless proven otherwise. Ineffectiveness of the criminal justice system when dealing with young offenders is shown through many cases of injustices for the victims, accused and society. The topic of the age of criminal responsibility is an ongoing matter. In the article ‘age of criminal consent 16 or 8’ SMH 29th April 2012) the age at which children should be held responsible for a crime should be raised from 10 to as high as 16, the states chief advocate for young people has suggested to a government inquiry into juvenile laws.
A little seven year old was only drawing the other day in class. Unfortunately he drew a gun, and ended up being suspended from school. It happened in a town up in New Jersey, which also had four kindergarteners sent home because of playing “cops and robbers.” These incidents show that something has to be changed, because are these kids the true cold blooded killers? The article was not biased; it only gave facts that needed to be known by the American public. This article opens my eyes and shows me that America may be going in the wrong direction to stop gun control.
Violent Adolescents Annette Fuentes writes an interesting article called Crackdown on Kids. Fuentes wrote this article for the June 15/22 issue of The Nation. This article is about how we have neglected to see the real problem at hand with juvenile delinquents and how quick we as a society are to just throw them in detention facilities rather than solve the problems in a more effective manner. Fuentes wrote this article in response to the shooting sprees at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. On March 24, 1998, three boys, ages 11, 13, and 15, unloaded a slew of mini arsenals and were responsible for the deaths of four students and a teacher.
