I look at juveniles today and remember back to my own childhood and see a generation of minature adults instead of children. Young girls who wear colored bans to show what sex acts they perform. young men who walk around with guns and pants Canada Goose Jackets hanging so far down they might as well take them off. Technology has brought our children into adulthood at a rapid rate. Babies having babies, high rates of illirteracyand illegitamacy.

canada goose store The teens of today are not the teens of yesterday, when we were growing up. The introduction of modern technology has created a mass of teen adults. Drugs, sex, and violence are common themes of video canada goose games, movies and music that are directed at the teens today. They make it look cool to steal cars, shoot people, rob, and assualt others. The teen music idols of today are young half naked girls dancing on poles on icecream trucks, bending over their car seats in mini skirts with no panties on. All for publicity. I won’t name names but with the media frenzy I’m sure you know who they are. Even the cartoons our below teenage years children watch are no longer, Bugs Bunny, RoadRunner. You get my drift. Robots killing people, fast cars out running the police, robbing the banks, and sex sells everything. The sad price for payment of this kind of entertainment is the creation of a society of children who have become immune to the effects of these actions on themselves and society. The parents are oblivious or don’t care until disaster strikes. canada goose store
buy canada goose jacket cheap When one of these mini adults kills someone then we see the parents begging for mercy for their child. My question to them is “Where were you?” while little Johnny was learning all of this. You want to feel for the parent and the child. But who is going to feel Canada Goose online for the victim? Where was the mercy for them? For the pleas of their families for justice. I do understand that many parents have to work, butI also know that you can not leave a 13 year old or 16 year home alone or babysitting like you could in the day. A parent, working or not, should know where their child is, and who they are with. Many very young children now have cell phones. If the child has a cellphone, he can tell you he is at home and be anywhere but there. There has to be guidance and responsiblity on behalf of the canada goose coats parents if we are not going to debate subjects such as life imprisonment for juveniles. There are also exemplary parents who do everything possible and the child still winds up in trouble. I feel deeply for them. buy canada goose jacket cheap
A child has a certain amount of responsibility for his actions also. When children are at the age of two or even younger they have a sense of doing something wrong, thus, turning their head to see if you are looking before grabbing something on the end table. Of course in these years and up until about ten, their knowledge of right and wrong is limited. By the time a child is a teenager, he knows right from wrong. he knows that if you kill someone they don’t get back up when you push a reset button. He knows if you sell drugs it is wrong. I also don’t buy into the mentally ill defense, unless there has been a documented history, or the he had a hard life story. I believe that each case should be based on a case by case basis and the facts, past behavior and other things like grades and school attendance.
canada goose coats The following is true. In Wylie Texas, 5 Teenagers under the age of 17, except for one, beat 28 year old Johnathan Bird to death with their feet and a hammer. Johnathan who had just got back from a fishing trip with his son, and fiancee, yelled at the boys to slow down when they sped down the street at a high rate of speed. he told them there were alot of small children who played outside there. The boys knew this since they only lived a few blocks down the street. They stopped and yelled obscenities then sped off running over Johnathans foot as they left. The driver yelled “I’ll be back with my AK”. They returned in five minutes got out and attacked Johnathan who was still unloading camping gear. They hit, kicked and beat him, while his son begged them to stop. Johnathan began coughing up blood, took his last three breaths in the arms of his son and fiancee and died. The police found the truck with the hammer in the bed. The 17 year old was arrested and being held on murder charges, the police also tracked down three other boys, all aged 16, too young for their names to be released but old enough to kill. The 17 year old had a past history that included many run ins with the law and was described as a bully and troublemaker by the police. So before you feel too sorry for these boys and think the punishment is cruel and inhumane. remember Johnathan, his fiancee, and his son in whose arms he died. canada goose coats
