No no and no.
Society has an oddly skewed view of the world. A 14 year old female can't understand sex enough to give unconditional consent, but a 14 year old boy can understand death enough to commit murder and be treated as an adult . . .
He is defined as a child and should stay as a child.
I think a lot of people get caught up with the horrific nature of the crime and think: This person must be punished.
But that doesn't change the fact that he person is defined as a child in all ways that matter.
Also i find it curious that its usuallly minority male children that prosecutors want to try as an adult and put in jail forever as ooposed to females or white children.
I suppose that black children are so much more mature than their female or white male counterparts that they are basically adult years before?
