My goodness what in the world is happening to our children these days. I remember times when you say the word F or s (four letter words) you get a slap or send to your room. But now a days you hear about gun violence, raped, murder, all these things are not suppose to be what the kids do. These are adult defenses. What would you like to have happen to these two boys? Judge/trial as an adult because they committed adult crimes? Or just a slap on their back and send them home so they can make other crimes? Should we punish their parents because they are minors? If we can punish them do we punish their folks? What can and should we do?

What is wrong with the children nowadays? I don't know. It seems like they don't know right from wrong, don't show respect to others, smoking, violence and other horrible things. A couple of days ago, i read a newspaper reporting a bunch of kids beating a couple cos they didn't buy one kid's flower( the kids are selling flowers to lovers). I can't imagin how could this ever happen.

Yeah I read that too. Crazy world we live in. I wonder what is wrong with these kids. How is their family background. What I mean is, where is the father and mother? Who is teaching them? What kind of moral background do they have? Who is giving them guidance and setting their limits? I just wish when people have kids they realize it is not just raising them but it also means teaching them what is right and wrong to do. If this is today youth of tomorrow then tomorrow we are doomed. Thank you for your comment.

This is a very sad thing for the victim and the boys who committed this crime against her. I don't know all the facts so it would be hard to determine who all is at fault. 8 and 9 year olds are not adults, but it seems as though the adults in their lives have caused them harm. They have been exposed to things that are hurtful beyond words. It is such a sad sad world that we live in.

Yeah, I feel for these babies. But they made the choice they have to pay for the crime. No matter what age if a crime is committed then someone should pay because the victim surely didn't ask for it. If we let them go what are we telling others who want to be these bad kids? Thanks for the comment.

I blame everything on the parents. Where were they when this was happening? The parent should be sentenced to time in jail as well as children these days

Yeah, I agree on punishing the parents too. But what punishment we set for the kids are not the same I would put on the parents. I would say their punishments should be tailor made for them by the judge and the victim.

I don't like the subject myself, but this is reality. Look around you and you will find that you can not shut these bad things out the door. If you have kids you know what I mean. You can do all you can to protect them but you can not watch them 24/7, so even if your kid is good they can be a victim. These bad kids are like plague they come in packs. If we don't do something to teach them they will have more like them coming out. No matter how hard you try to shut these bad kids from your door there are tens and more on the steps. That is why we need to educate and teach good morals to kids and adults. So our future would not be doomed by these so call kids. What if your daughter was the victim would you still think that these bad kids should be set free to do it to your other daughter or niece of whom ever you love? Think about it maybe in a few years they will be doing more and worst. First they kill a cat then next will be a tiger then it will-just might be you. Sorry to be so raw about this, but the subject is not like by anyone but it's here and we need to deal with it as a society. What else is there to do?

It's so scray... You know, I used to live in South Korea and it's very secure. But now I live in France and at night I see children smoking, totally drunk... I don't why they do that. Maybe it's because of the parents, maybe because of the TV... I don't know and I don't want to know what will happen next. A week ago, I saw a 15-years-old boy hitting an old woman because she wouldn't give him money, and everybody was watching but no one tried to speak with the boy.

Yeah because they are afraid of the 15 year old. They are scared that he might have friends (packs of them) Most people are afraid of their lives. It is just too scary to think that these boys can come around and scare the adults. Back then these same boys are the ones opening doors and carrying your grocery for you just out of their own good will. No more of that these days.

oh my...
i was thinking a similar idea when i was riding the passenger transport this morning. i saw a very young couple (i mean boyfriend-girlfriend) carrying books and kissing in public. in the philippines, that is not so common. and in a small town like ours, that was pretty stupefying.
then i got to thinking, when i have my own kids someday, what kind of world would they be living in and how do i cope with such? how do i handle such situations and explain to my children basic morality as taught in the bible?
i just pray for God's grace and mercy to spare my children and to give my husband and I the wisdom needed to rear our children in the fear of the Lord. but i think that what parents can do is really pray for their children.

But the sad thing is that we in the US is taking God out of majority of things and places now. No more in school and they are thinking about removing Him from the currency. They want IN GOD WE TRUST off the bills. Morality seems to be out the door these days and most people younger kids want to do what feels good rather than what they should do. Sad world we live in now, but we can still change it for the better by first starting to teach our own kids and people we know that morality is still valued. The way we live still should be to do what is right and not to do what feels good. To act not react, think before we react. Thanks for the comment.

Unbelievable. I don't know what will be the end of all. I think our brain is developing in high proportion than body. Thats why such crimes are committed by so-called under age culprits. They should be sent to some re-habilitation centre for counselling.

That and plus educating their parents on how to teach their child. Because the parents has to let their child know what the limits are. If that doesn't work give them tough love. Sent them to jail. They need to learn or else what kind of a world are we going to have for our next generation.

It just happened a few days ago. Just go to goggle and type in 11 year old raped, you get stories after stories of different 11 year olds being raped. NO joke. These events take place daily in different cities around the globe. Worst just in your backyard. Just take a look at the stories. Thanks for your post.
