| Comment | Everyone's talking about locking the kids that done this up and throwing away the key... All prison does is give them a pipeline into the criminal world and teachers more than willing to exploit kids from broken backgrounds.
We need to reach out to kids before stuff like this happens. We have to be more pro active in pulling children out of gang culture. Get those who grew up in it and got out a role in helping these youngsters stay out.
And in cases like this, where awful things occur and it's too late to pull them back, we shouldn't immediately resort to punitive measures, we need more facilities for mental health and rehabilitation. Like I said, locking them up doesn't seem to work. |
