Teens locked up for life without a second chance
I fail to see the reason for this article. It is very sad that these kids either lost, or didn't develop the empathy required to keep them from killing. That is the true crime here. The fact that these murderers are paying for their crime is not news. That is a little thing I like to call JUSTICE.
If we were to end poverty, we would be able to eliminate this kind of crime among children. In order to eliminate poverty, all schooling should be free from pre-school to University. That way, a child's potential is only limited by their own abilities, not the poverty of their parents.
Free education won't end poverty alone. It will greatly reduce it, but it will not eliminate it. The last nail in the coffin of poverty would be free tutoring, mentoring, and after school activities. We have to keep these kids engaged in learning. We need to keep them away from the drug dealers, pimps, and thugs that would pollute and distort their minds.
