<p>One thing I don’t agree with is charging the children (<18) as adults. They’re not adults for the presumed reason that they lack the maturity and capacity to execute the responsibilities and rights that a 18 year old has and thus lack many rights (voting, serving on a jury, restrictions on working, many rights being (legally lost to parents), restrictions on driving) etc so it’s morally reprehensible and highly hippo critical to charge them as adults which would indicate that they bear the full responsibilities an adult would have while lacking several fundamental rights that an adult would have.</p>
