12-year-old boy accused of raping 6-year-old girl has has bail adjusted to take family vacation

I hope he doesn’t meet any 6 year olds while on vacation.

Statisacally, you’re much more likely to kill someone on the highway than eat him or her for dinner. Therefore, the deterrence imposed by the criminal justice system must be much much higher.

Ah another person I want to punch until my fist falls off!

Find out where the family is going, leak some details about his crime to the locals in that area…PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Well the two offences don’t really compare. Serial rape of a child is a serious matter.

Presumably, you’re a bit older than 12, and are approaching this comparison from a post adolescent viewpoint.

Well yes but it not going to matter much to the six year old girl whether their rapist is 12 or 24.

That should be the first question, but with our justice system?

If we had a functional system, it would be possible to have competent psychologists/psychiatrists spend time learning whether this child is acting out due to chronic abuse – and then prescribe long term intensive in-patient therapy – or was born without a conscience and thus the needs of society to be protected should take precedence, but we don’t. Two children’s lives permanently damaged, and we as a society have no way of competently dealing with it.
