Should Juveniles Be Charge As Adult In Criminal Cases? “Draft paper” Delvitta, Reid Post University CSS101.58: Learn Across Lifespan 10/3/12 Instructor: Erna, Krieger In my draft paper about should children be charge as an adult in criminal cases. To me it depends on the case and the ages of the child have done. Today around the world there are many children going to jail at the age of 12 to 14 .I have seen child charge as adult at the age of 12, and still in jail doing time for killing someone he didn’t like in school and he shoot him in the face.

They shot to death 12 students and a teacher, and then they killed themselves (Lamb). If guns were banned, those students would not have guns to kill their teachers and students, of course those innocent people would survive. According to the article, “New Harvard University Study Shows Direct Link between Gun Availability and Gun Death among Children”, the dying rates of children,
written by Paul Harris is an opinionated paper told by one of the victims fathers Tom Mauser, who is very devoted to change the guns laws in Colorado form his own experience of losing his son in the 1999 columbine high school shooting, his son was one of 12 to have his life taken by the shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold who had also killed a teacher and injured 24 other staff and students. Tom Mauser has endorsed the rare politicians who make gun controls part of their agenda and is a board member of Colorado Ceasefire, a gun control group.

For example, six students in Decatur, Ill. were expelled from school for one year for fighting at a high school game. Due to the fact that a videotape shows this incident, this act of violence violated the zero tolerance policy in school. Students are now being punished for committing pranks on other students that could possibly put students in harms way. One prime example. MeShelle Locke 16, of Lacey, Washington was suspended from school for four days for making a hand gesture of a gun at another student and saying “Bang.” The boy whom MeShelle often joked with asked “Is that a threat” jokingly.
“It was listening to their experiences, and my own frustrations, that led me to consider the topic.” Picoult also incorporates events that have taken place in the past into Nineteen Minutes, including the way the police told the parents of the deceased how their children had died. “My child went first, and didn’t suffer”, but this backfired because families realized that they had all been told the same thing. Furthermore, Picoult features events from the Columbine High School massacre that took place on April 20th, 1999. Two high-school seniors by the names of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris shot and murdered 12 students and one teacher. Klebold and Harris found it hard to fit into any of the other cliques at school and because of that they were frequently picked on.
Columbine high school massacre. The Columbine High School massacre (often known simply as Columbine) was a school shooting which occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, an unincorporated area of Jefferson County, Colorado, United States. Two senior students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, embarked on a shooting spree in which a total of 12 students and 1 teacher were murdered. They also injured 21 other students directly, with three further people being injured while attempting to escape the school. The pair then committed suicide.
To answer this question, we must first understand why children as young as 12 have no home to go to OR why they choose life on the street as a better alternative to living at home. Let me introduce you to Dale, his story is typical of street kids. At the age of 13, Dale was homeless. His mother was a crack addict and her boyfriend was a violent user who brutalised Dale and his mother regularly. Dale had spent time in intensive care after one of his step father’s vicious beatings.
Later, Lane surrendered to the police. Lane was described as a troubled boy who lived with his grandfather after his father was sent to prison for domestic violence. He attended an alternative school nearby for students who did not do well in school. Geauga County prosecutor, David Joyce, says, “This was the effect of one lone gunman. He chose his victims at random.
Last year, Angelina Green, a fourteen year old girl from Indiana hung herself from a tree, and left a suicide note on her bed for her mother explaining her death was caused by bullying (Goldstein, 2014). The young girl was called demeaning names every day from her eighth grade classmates. In her suicide letter, she indicated she wanted her classmates that tormented her to attend her funeral. Angelina’s mother pleaded the suicide of her daughter to Indiana’s state legislature to pass House Bill 1423. This bill will hold schools responsible for any bullying that take place on or around the school campus.
The second part will be about Luckys relationship with his parents and whether or not it was alright that they kicked him out like they did. The third and last part will be about life as an addict. ”Trash Walks” is a short story about a guy named Lucky. He’s only fifteen years old and already an addict.
