Who is a minor? Someone who is under the age of 18? Or should we say someone who is not yet an adult??
When such a person commits a crime, should they be tried like an adult or forgiven because they are not yet an adult? Under the pretense that they do not know what they are doing?
A seventeen year old is a minor. Can we say a boy of seventeen years old found guilty of a crime does not know what he is doing? Even though he is not yet an adult, he is so close to reaching the legal age of being punished by law...
Moreover, the world has changed. Our children have become smarter. Back in the olden days in my country, a child had to cross his hand above his head to touch his ear. If he could not do that, he would not be admitted into a school, but that is no longer a thing now. We even have children less than one year old in school...
Some adults are shocked by acts committed by the so called minors of nowadays, and the shittiest thing is that some of them hide under the “I am still a minor” excuse to commit terrible crimes, knowing they can go scot-free...
Let us talk about the boys. Nowadays, we see boys around 13 to 17 years old smoking and doing drugs, and also engaging in other crimes like sexual assault and theft. Are we going to just let them continue that because they are not yet of legal age? The more we ignore them, the worse they become, and in the end, they can become a terror to the country...
I still remember what happened during the COVID-19 period. Young boys calling themselves “One Million Boys” came out and started terrorizing the people. They stole, raped, and killed innocent people. It was when people realized that if they did not act, these young boys would not stop. They also took the law into their own hands. Everyone came out to defend their community.
When the situation became extreme, I remember hearing that the police were also overwhelmed because there was nowhere to keep all the people being arrested. This happened in my area, so it is not a made-up story.
When the boys realized that people had become brave and were no longer showing them mercy when they were caught, they also went back into hiding.
If people did not act, they would become worse. So, it is the same with the law and minors. If the law keeps ignoring crimes committed by minors, we will have more minors committing terrible crimes and hiding under that protection.
So fuck the idea that being a minor should mean you can commit terrible crimes and get away with it..!
