Juvenile Justice #5

On Frontline, I read a story about baby killers. This boy who was only six years old has already had a string of dangerous crimes. He had stolen a bike and had assulted a one montyh old infant. It seems as though this boy is the perfect example of why we need more rehabilitation centers in the United States. We need to help the children, like this boy, to help take control of their lives. He seems to be a fairly normal boy. I do not  think that it would cost a lot of money to set up rehabilitation centers across the country. It seems like a more presentable way to help the youth of the country. Adult jails aren’t going to make these children normal again. They need to have professional care and they need to be taught different ways. Some people will argue that these children are the lowest of the low and they don’t even deserve this care. Why should people pay their hard earned money to support these troubled teens? Supporting these teens mean supporting our country.
