    Even though he didn’t know he was in a stolen car and didn’t take any part in a schoolyard fight which had occurred earlier, he was charged with two felonies.

If children do not even receive the same rights as adults in the first place, it makes no sense to try them in adult court. These juveniles should have the opportunity to be rehabilitated in a positive manner, for they tend to come from troubled households and violent neighborhoods. In over half of the cases these troubled kids don’t know any different way than a life of crime when surrounded by both social and environmental factors that influence their delinquent actions.
