Wrong! They can be charged as adults as others before them have been. "Freaking people like you accept this crap from our youth." Wake up. What if it was your daughter. Bet you would be suing the crap out of each of their parents and calling for more govt. involvement. Sorry I don't mean to insult you but I have to correct your post.

And what about Y tube where this was going to be posted. Seems to me this site needs some regulations as they encourage this behavior.

Hopefully the judge throws the book at these scum. Seeing how they were retarded enough to post the video on you-tube there should be no plea deals,they basically incriminated themselves.

I don't know. I'd agree about 75% of the time. But sometimes wonderful parents just have a bad apple that can't be explained.

If the parents tried to find alternate routes for assistance in the raising of their children, I'm right there with ya...

But if there's no evidence of that and the parents just gave up because they felt their child was a "lost cause" without looking elsewhere for help, then the parent MUST accept responsibility...They would've ALLOWED for the behavior of that child to degrade into violence or any other negative consequence...

There are parents who do "give up" and I'm with you on that simply because it's a fact of life you can't take the easy way out raising kids. You GOT to change diapers ( a _hity job at best; You GOT to give guidance and care about teen agers although they sometimes act like aliens. And there are plenty of parents who want to disown their daughters for getting pregnant and their children for coming out as gay.
I think you are a parent a lot longer than you ever thought you would be! Or should I say you have to ACTIVELY parent for longer in some cases. But I get paranoid when people talk about holding the parents responsible for very criminal behavior. Maybe in the long run it is their training or lack of it that is at the base of the kid's troubles. And most abusers were themselves abused. But I have seen too many sweet couples who tried everything including supporting their drug addicted kids while the kid lived on the street where he wanted to be. Including paying for counseling and including prayer and everything known under the sun to no avail. Some children are just bad. And it's hard for their parents to believe they didn't do something to contribute.
As for the parents of these girls, I don't know about any of them. I assume idiocy may be a root cause of some of it. The parents had no active parents...and right on down the line. But if we are going to blame parents who are idiots, we better look at the society that fuels idiots too.

If you watch the video, the girls should be, if already not, charged with imprisonment as well. they held the door closed and would not allow her out..

Does anybody know the law well enough to know whether being tried as an adult means they will be incarcerated with adults? I can't imagine they would, but you just never know.

I say to thow the book at them and incarcerate them for as long as the crime warrants , but not to put them in adult correctional facilities until they are 18.

How would putting them in with non-adults change things?...

They've already proven by their own actions that non-adults can be as violent and disgusting as any adult could be...

Perhaps I am a little old fashioned, but I view incarceration in terms of potential rehabilitation. I think this liklihood would be much lower if the offenders are placed in an adult prison.
