No, I believe that children should be held for our own mistakes. The reason why, is because we are doing the action. We must have put ourselves into the situation due to something we though, said or did. For example, children could steal money without asking for it. The child should never had stolen the money in the first place. It can get the child in trouble with your superior or elder. You are always a child especially around your parents or elders. In this scripture, James 1:14, we can be tempted through our own actions but, that doesn’t mean that it is adult’s fault. We can be tempted or lured just by wanting things that we don’t have. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about what their child does. According to Deuteronomy 5:33 and 6:1-2,
Individuals in life or death situations should not be held accountable for their action. They are obviously going to want to be alive and happy, and not die or live in misery, so victims would most likely do whatever it takes to survive. Whoever made the decisions weren’t fully thinking it through because we all develop mentally at a different age for children and adults. Individuals who are in life or death situations don’t put themselves in that positions purposely to where they know they can die. In situations like these, everyone feels stress to the point where they have no other option until it is too late when they make their final choice like what happened in “The Seventh Man”
Children should be charged with the same sentence as adults, even though they are young they still commented a serious crime to point where they must be punished for it in a proper way,not in a lesser punish due to age.
Should people be held accountable for their actions? If you hurt someone when you are fighting for your life, you wouldn’t care. Many people use self defence to protect themselves from life or death situations. People are hurt everyday by violent and drunk people. Many should not be held accountable for defending themselves.
Children under 16 years old, who have committed violent crimes, should not be tried as adults in the United States. Children under 16 should be put in a juvenile court no matter what crime they have committed. The child may know right from wrong, but they shouldn’t be sentenced years in a prison if they are younger than 16. However, they do deserve consequences for their actions, just not as harsh as adult court would make it for the juvenile. The U.S. Government should make a law to keep children under 16 out of adult court.
decisions that are made, parents should not be held responsible and allow for their children to be
Only adults are believed to possess free will. Children are seen as innocents and thus free from the judgment of God. The children are also taught that they must always submit to elders and to the will of God.
In the court case of every minor, a judge must decide whether or not the minor should be tried as an adult or as a minor, but should this even be an option? James Backstrom argues that minors should be tried as adults to prove that violence in our society will not be tolerated, no matter the age of the perpetrator. However, in my opinion, children are immature, held hostage in toxic environments, and minors are treated differently in other aspects, so it should stay that way when it comes to breaking the law.
As more minors commit murders, courts must decide their punishments. There are two sides divided on punishments for juveniles. One side wants children to be never be tried as as adults (no matter the crime). The otherside wants to allow for courts to charge children as adults; with a reasonable excuse to (like murder). Kids who intentionally commit murder, rape, or other major offenses must be tried as an adult and be charged with life without the possibility of parole. It is only fair for the safety and peace of our citizens, to try child offenders who committed a serious crime as adults.
Should children that commit adult crime be prosecuted? While some people believe children should be given second chances since they are young, others think children should be punished the same way adults are. Children should not be given advantages simply because they are young as they should know the difference between right and wrong. Since this is a frequently discussed idea in society, many authors deal with it in literature. This is the case in Lord of the Flies because crimes are committed by young children.
A crime is a crime no matter the age of the criminal. Their actions should be punished. Juveniles should be convicted as adults for violent crimes because they’re responsible for their own decisions.
A child should be held accountable at any age for the actions they took because they should have thought about the consequences that they will be facing later on. “If I knew somebody who hurt or killed someone I loved, I would want him or her to experience the worst possible punishment for his or her actions” (Source 1). As a child, they should put themselves in this position, imagine if their loved one got injured or died how would they feel. The child would feel miserable, horrible, and they are going to hate that person. If you think about it, that is someone’s sibling, cousin, bestfriend, etc that they took away..
First Christianity, in a Calvinistic way, understands that as a consequence of the fallen nature, humankind is enslaved to the service of sin, subsequently, apart from the efficacious or prevenient grace of God, and is totally incapable of choosing to follow God or find the pathway to salvation. You will agree that from experience, no parent ever taught any child to be bad. Children as innocent as they are, have the propensity to be very selfish among other negative traits, a natural inclination to which they are powerless against, as a result of being genetically predisposed to have evil characters. Parents are known to teach their children how to behave well, which proofs that man is depraved and needs to be salvaged. Christianity, uniquely
Now God surely did not mean that because my son was just in high school. So, I informed God that Nathan was still a child and it is a mother’s job to keep their child from trouble. Right? God said, “No. A parent’s job is to
It depends on the situation whether someone can be held liable for the acts of others. There is a possibility that the parents could be held liable for their children’s actions. According to the Criminal Justice system, that is referred to as Parental Liability. For example, a child unsupervised may cause mischief or other related crimes that result to damages or harm towards others. The parents will end up paying for the damages, medical bills or even serve prison or jail time. However, it does depend on the age of the child. Another good example is if a child steals a gun that is not properly locked in the house and is used it to kill or harm other people. Having a licensed owned gun means the gun owner must be responsible with it and not careless (Bononi, 2016).
The infamous mantra that parents everywhere have heard time after time from children is, “He made me do it.” Parents hear this every second of every hour of every day. We learned at a young age that if you do not want to be responsible for the situation, you blame it on someone else. As we get older, we begin to realize how important taking responsibility really is. In fact, 93% of the 3,000 parents surveyed by the Pew Research Center said that responsibility was the number one character trait they wanted their child to possess. Ron Kurtus, the creator of School for Champions, said, “Being responsible and taking responsibility for the things that may go wrong is an admirable character trait. We all dislike dealing with people who are
