You know, i don't think they should have mentioned the names of the victim and the culprits on TV.

Yeah, only children are not able to oversee the consequences, although this case is particularly evil. I've done stupid things as a child, I wouldn't want that to be a public record. If the juvenile delinquent shows sincere realization of fault, such a record should not be public for everyone to see (in my opinion).

But admission of guilt with no remorse is serious.

Yes, I think it is evil. Clearly they are 12-year old (messed up) children. Do you think that someone in a state of psychosis has any idea of the world around them? One has no idea what is going on in their brains and they could show remorse when they get out of this state.

A friend of mine one night went into a psychosis, ran into the streets and tore off all her clothes and started rolling in the grass naked and screaming hysterically. When her husband ran out to see what was going on, she screamed "don't get near me, I'm going to explode". She ran outside to protect her family, but with this kind of madness she could have hurt them as well. No drugs were involved if you may wonder. That person normally had a very quiet, timid, polite personality.

All I'm saying is that sometimes people do messed up things, but they can recover from that state. That may or may not be the case here, but dealing with these people as rabid wild beasts is as inhumane.

... Choices are intrinsic and will remain that way. Our actions are programmed and motivated. They failed in the "no violence-killing" and value of life program which is supposedly a parent and societies key responsibility. You don't expect a child to act accordingly w/out the parent guiding them somehow(exception of mental issues). Other motivations are caused by (media sources-violence) which is a bigger issue and should be systematized, guided and provisioned. Honestly, I'm more enraged with the PARENTS and that crime could be avoided.

It is scientifically proven that the brain is not fully developed until around 21-25 years of age. Those girls should not be treated as adults, because they aren't.

Trying the girls as adults does not mean that the state believes they actually *are* adults, but that the state will treat them as adults under the criminal justice system. In this case, it is likely these circumstances warranted such treatment. In particular, I expect the rights of everyone else to remain safe from these two in the future was seen to outweigh the possibility that they'll somehow not be just as evil as adults, since treating them as children almost guarantees their release within a few years.
