Err. Wrong way you stupid do gooders.

I was reading this about the proposal to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10, where it is now, to 14. Read more here. What the...

Now I don't know where you live but I've lost count of the number of times I've read in the local rag that youths, 9, 8 and so on have done this and that, all criminal activities, been nicked but due to their young age nothing can be done. They just get kicked out and back home laughing.

They should be lowering the ago of criminal responsibility to 8. With modifications so kids don't get banged up for five years, at least until they have amassed a couple of criminal convictions. Give them a different points rating. Make them go to a boarding type school in what would be a custodial sentence. What some undoubtedly need is a good shock whilst they are young enough to learn from it. Perhaps their parents having their benefits reduced because Colin does not live there while he is at first stop day prisonspecial school for a few weeks will hit home. The school where he is taught English, maths and some morals. Pass means you get out.

Who are these stupid do gooders in the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies. One word there is Justice. Just been concentrating on the crime part and think it is harsh on the 10 year old? Do any of them have kids?

Oh! Can we find out where they live? I know a couple of 9 year olds that would love a free ride.
