Should Juveniles be tried and treated as adults?

[eldavis]

I read about a case of a young girl not up to 18 years who burnt down a whole super market, but due to her age she did not face trials. There are also other cases like this as well. Do you think Juveniles should be treated as adults?

I don't think they should be treated as adults
To me, they are kids

I think it should depend on the crime. For starters, that kid who burnt Down a supermarket. Did she burn it through pre-meditated action or was it through pure accident? You can find a kid facing charges of murder by stabbing some one multiple times? That juvenile should be treated as an adult.

Why should a child even burn down a supermarket?
The child should be taken for rehabilitation

If they commit adult crimes then they should be treated as adults and punished accordingly.

This sounds demonic burn down a supermarket just like that. Are you sure this child isn't possessed. This doesn't sounds normal

To me, that depends on the crime they committed. If they committed crimes such as killing, they should be treated as adults and penalized heavily.

In my country there is are special jails where those people can serve awaiting for their age to reach 18.

I think it depends what country that they are living in. They can be treated as adults in some countries.

If a juvenile engages in crimes related to murder, they should be given the exact treatment given to adults because they know that killing is bad.

I think they should be treated though in their own ways but they should be held responsible for their mistakes.
