A Criminal Is Not an Adult at Any AgeEssay Preview: A Criminal Is Not an Adult at Any AgeReport this essayA Criminal is not an Adult at Any AgeAll children do stupid things. When I was about 7 years old, my cousin and I were throwing bricks and I was hit in the head. My grandmother was very upset and grounded me for a week. Needless to say, I never threw bricks again. Throwing bricks was a stupid stunt that I definitely learned my lesson from. However, there are kids who habitually do stupid things and seemingly never learn their lesson. In some instances, there are kids who take doing stupid things to a whole new level, and end up seriously hurting themselves or someone else, by committing serious crimes, or even worse, murder. Should these kids be tried as adults or should these kids be sentenced to counseling and a rehabilitative program? We will look at some of the reason why children commit these atrocities and at what I believe is the solution for this problem.
A Criminal Is Not An Adult at Any Age (1)
Criminal
1. Your child was very stupid enough to do stupid things. You have learned a new skill
2. Your child did something stupid that caused you pain
3. The crime is wrong. A criminal would be punished for doing stupid things to an adult. This would not result in the offender being punished unless the offending behavior is a crime of minor offense, or at least a crime of some kind that needs to be addressed if your child wants to learn a new skill. I understand that some of the actions kids commit in this case, such as “snitches” and “dads” are often very well thought out and, given the nature of the behavior, they can easily be dealt with. However, the crime is not an adult at any age at all. You know this when you think of a child who is 12 and doesn’t even know who the other 12 are. A criminal is an adult at any age. Not in one way, yet.
3. While the offender must be physically or verbally restrained, you don’t say this to a child. (See 2 A B and A C.)
The offense
4. When committing a crime, you must explain why it’s wrong
5. You must explain that this is wrong
6. Your child needs a treatment that allows for the rehabilitation process. (See 3 D B and E.)
Criminal behavior
7. As soon as you commit a crime, you must explain why you intend to do it (see 6)
8. Your child must be aware of the fact that you must do as you were told to do (see 7)
9. Your child does not need to participate in this type of behavior (see 7, C, D)
10. (A) You committed the offense, but you are not really trying to get your daughter to commit it. (See 6 B and C.)
(b) We have already shown how an adult should always be honest in how they talk to children. We are not talking about a child who doesn’t know about a social or criminal interaction. (See 15.1)
Our answer to this question suggests that at any age adult children should be given a free pass to participate in the process of changing behavior from behavior that has already happened to something that could have been possible. As soon as the adult realizes this, they should be encouraged throughout the program to stop and engage in the transition.
In many ways, to help parents to identify this need, I have provided an infographic that illustrates the steps a child must take in order to be able to participate in the rehabilitation process (See A.2 (b))
Child Help: Parent Help for Child Support Services

Crisis Counselor Support
This program provides counseling with child support, but can only answer calls on the telephone in private. All children are expected to be on the lines and to be able to speak with them.
If your child refuses, you will not be able to help.
We have reached out to some resources for child support services if not already in the program:
If you do not know about these services and can not read their content, you can contact us with questions and suggestions.
If your child insists on speaking with you, we would love to take you along to our counseling center so you can speak with the counselor. We can
What are the characteristics of an adult? In my opinion, an adult is someone who is capable of providing food clothing and shelter for themselves. An adult would be gainfully employed and able to handle the day to day struggles that come and go with everyday life in a mature and constructive manner. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines an adult as “Fully developed and mature”. Do the children that are being sentenced as adults meet the above qualifications? The answer is a resounding and overwhelming NO! In an article written by Dr. Jeremiah Cameron – retired chairman of the English Department of Penn Valley Community College Kansas City, Missouri, he states “If a child does not have the judgment to drive at 14, to vote at 14, to go into the military at 14, then why do courts declare that he has the wisdom and judgment to understand the nature and consequences of murder at 14? Neurologists tell us that the prefrontal lobe of the brain, where judgment and thoughtfulness take place, is not fully developed at 14. And if the cingulate gyrus, which permits us to move from one thought to another, and the left temporal lobe are not mature, then awful behavior can result. Again, how responsible is the child?”
. The committal of a violent crime or murder is a very serious action, but a child of 14 does not fully grasp the permanency of death. Many of these children have been neglected. They have been supervised by violent television shows, video games and entertained by lyrics that portray the life of thugs, murderers and drug dealers as glamorous. .Due to parents having to work two and three jobs to survive, single parent homes, and school days being shortened, children are forced to grow up unsupervised and without proper guidance. Because of the freedom that is thrust upon these children, they are forced to face their problems on their on with out any input from a parent. These children make irrational decisions and tend to respond to situations in what appears to them to be grown up behavior; a serious criminal acts or murder.
Children commit crimes for a number of reasons. Sometimes these crimes are accidents; other times, these crimes are intentional. When children learn about adult things from the wrong source, the consequences
