I would agree that 10 is a little young, but I’m not really sure where to set that line. I don’t necessarily think that a policy of initially charging as an adult, then kicking it to juvenile court afterwards is the worst course of action.
Imo its a racist Law, bro, designed to catch all those super predators... That will no doubt catch a few others.
Obv this girl has problems that don't need compounded by the full force of the Law, and i'm sure you agree (Im not talking kid gloves ) that Social workers & juvenile courts are capable of handling this better, in assessing what need doing going forward.
She will need years of counselling & therapy.
My heart goes out to the parents & family, Who has suffered a tremendous loss.
