Juveniles tried as adults....

IN THE WORLD WE LIVE INTO TODAY TEENAGER, PRE-TEENS, AND SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ARE KILLING PEOPLE OR THEIR OWN PARENTS.  THE QUESTION IS SHOULD THEY BE TIRED AS AN ADULT???

I FEEL AS IF THE CHILD IS OVER SIX YEARS OLD THEY SHOULD GET TRIED AS A JUVENILE AND GET SENT TO JUVENILE JAIL NOT TO PRISON. AT THE AGE 13 YEARS TO 18 YEARS YOU SHOULD GET TRIED AS AN ADULT. I BELIEVE YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG. SOCIETY IS TIRED OF LOSING THEIR LOVED ONES TO CHILDREN THAT SAY OH I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WOULD HURT THEM OR I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE GUN. COME ON NOW WE ALL KNEW THAT AT THE AGE OF 13 THAT GUNS WERE BAD AND THAT THEY KILL REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU SHOOT A PERSON AT. TRYING THEM AS ADULTS WILL REALLY SINK IN THEIR HEADS TO GO THE STRAIGHT PATH IF THEY GET A CHANCE TO COME OUT OF PRISON AND GET THE CHANCE TO SEE SOCIETY AGAIN.

IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA THEY DO TRY CHILDREN AS ADULTS. THEY TRY THEM AT ANY CRIME THAT IS GOING TO DO BURTLE CRIME TO SOMEONE AS ADULTS. THE REASON THE STATE OF VIRGINA DOES THIS IS TO TEACH THEM A LESSON AND TO SHOW THE CHILD THAT CRIME IS NOT OK FOR ANYONE TO DO. THEY FEEL AS IF CRIME DOESN'T HAVE A AGE ON IT.
Once an Adult/Always an Adult
A special transfer category has been created in 31 States for juveniles who, having once been prosecuted as adults, are subsequently accused of new offenses. Most States with "once an adult/always an adult" provisions simply require criminal prosecution of all such subsequent offenses -- by means of either a blanket exclusion or an automatic waiver mechanism. Others exclude or require waiver of only a broadly defined subset of these cases -- those involving juveniles of a certain age, for instance, or those in which the subsequent offense is sufficiently serious.

THESE STATES BELIEVE THAT ONCE YOU GET TRIED AS AN ADULT YOUR ALWAYS GOING TO GET TRIED AS AN ADULT.

States with once an adult/always an adult provisions: Alabama, Arizona, California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South

States without once an adult/always an adult provisions: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
