<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Having worked as a counselor with just such youth,
I also think this consequence is very light.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In my experience, development of a conscience
and the ability to feel for others must happen before age 10. If it doesn't (and
in this case appears to not have happened) the person in question is unlikely to
ever have empathy, not to mention impulse control, social skills beyond
predatory machinations, and a sense of right vs wrong. Long term therapy
can help them with enlightened self interest, but they still will have those
sociopathic tendencies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It doesn't help that Idaho has closed or
downsized so many Health and Welfare offices, which means these boys are
unlikely to get the continued counseling and monitoring they will need. And
where the heck were their parents? They get to go back to the very people who
left them unsupervised (with guns) for an extended period of
time....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sadly, our system is not set up to prevent further
difficulties with and for these boys....it is set up to create more of them,
given our lack of funding for public school programs that actually assist kids
through developmental stages which encompass empathy, consideration, and
critical thinking skills...We seem to be raising a generation of kids who think
life is a video game, people are only images, and consequences end when you turn
off the game. You can always start again, good as new, in a differnt
persona...</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I am by nature and family livelihood sympathetic to the
defense side in most legal battles. However, 14 year old kids who spend
an afternoon shooting at passing motorists for the pure hell of it aren’t just
rascals they are, at the very least, moronic little thugs. The notion
that 30 days detention and three years of probation is an adequate sentence
for their crimes is ludicrous. How long do you think it will be
before these punks graduate to bigger and nastier offenses – although shooting
at people is not exactly bush league, is it?<o:p></o:p></P>
