If you can't vote, why should you be charged with murder? "Here, you don't have the good judgement to decide on your own whether or not to buy a pack of cigarettes but you are definitely responsible for murder". I don't buy it.

Maybe if we are going to blame the parents, we should not be charging children with adult crimes like first-degree murder. Just a thought.

I kinda agree with you Joe, I think parents should be held accountable in certain cases. Further I think brining kids into the world should require mandatory training.

Did any of you see the mother of the youngest offender on TV? She was blasting the Police, blasting the detectives. The parents need to be put in prison right alongside these teens.

Obviously Chicago needs to ban handguns. Oh wait...
