Killmonger 03/27/21 8:03:09 PM #1:	A 6-year-old boy who plucked a tulip from the lawn at a bus stop in North Carolina in the United States recently went to court after being charged with injury to real property. While the child may not fully understand the situation, many argue that this may change the boys life for the worse, as per Winston-Salem Journal on March 14. Should a child that believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy be making life-altering decisions? New Hanover County Chief District Court Judge Jay Corpening was quoted as saying. The judge then shared research stating that even 10- to 14-year-olds cannot. Corpening chairs a state subcommittee studying this issue at the General Assemblys request, according to the report. The childs lawyer, Atty. Julie Boyer, shared that she had to give the child a coloring book and some crayons while in juvenile court because his attention span was too short for the legal proceedings. The 6-year-old went to juvenile court after his mother couldnt make the intake meeting, the report said. The judge dismissed the case after realizing this, according to Boyer. He gets served with papers. His mom gets served with papers, Boyer was quoted as saying. It was just appalling. While the 6-year-old ending up before a judge may seem shocking, around 7,300 complaints were actually filed against 6- to 11-year-olds from 2015 to 2018, Juvenile State data showed as cited by the newspaper. Of those complaints, 47 percent were against Black children, 40 percent against white children and 7 percent against Hispanic or Latino children, the report said. Around 22 percent of the states population is Black, 70 percent white and 10 percent Hispanic. The arrest of the boy, who is Black, has also been seen as a case of racial discrimination in the juvenile justice system. When a cop picks up a white boy, he takes him to his parents. But if he is black, he takes him to the state, Mary Stansell, juvenile chief at the Wake County Public Defenders Office, was quoted as saying. Therapy over criminalization Lyana Hunter, of the New Hanover County public defenders office, likewise argues that criminalizing children at such an early age may just change their lives for the worse, as per WECT News 6 on March 18. A 6-year-old were talking about someone thats in kindergarten, first grade. They dont understand the process, they dont understand whats going on, they probably dont even know their address, Hunter was quoted as saying. The earlier that you introduce a child to the criminal justice system, the higher the chances are that they will remain in the criminal justice system, she stressed. Hunter, who has been representing juveniles for 14 years now, noted that the behavior that sends children under 12 years old to juvenile court is better addressed in therapy. At 6 years old, North Carolina has the lowest minimum age in the world to enter the juvenile justice system, the report said. There are efforts, however, being done to raise the minimum age to 10 years old. The 2020 North Carolina Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice in the US report, meanwhile, recommends raising the age to 12, while the National Juvenile Justice Network recommends further raising the age to 14. https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1410711/6-year-old-boy-arrested-for-picking-flower-at-bus-stop --- "I will die of cancer before I let another dude finger my a******e." - ZeroX91 <cite>Killmonger posted [p:952186315] in 6-Year-Old...
