During a hearing Wednesday, the 13-year-old was sentenced until her 21st birthday, in restrictive commitment at DYRS.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Given the murderer’s age, her sentence was the maximum allowed by law.
And as a side note, this incident is yet another result of LBJ’s “Great Society”. That program cynically destroyed the black family unit. And so here we are.
Can Trump 2.0 make a dent in this? We can only hope.

It is time that we allowed executions for some of these “youfs”.

One of the first teens sentenced testified. The 15-year-old said it was her idea to go out and look for people to "beat up" because they were bored. They found a man in a blue coat already beating up Brown. She said they asked if they could join in.
Lock them all up for life so they can understand what "bored" really means.

Getting back to the nuclear family - with a father (male influence) would go a long way to correcting this.
The election of DJT has given traditional things some legs, imo. A real family is one of them.
The Church has fallen down on the job as well. They should have been promoting the family all along.

Many years ago I taught at a ‘youth center’ i.e. juvenile prison. Two of my ‘students’ were 13 when they committed murder. They were released on their 18th birthdays. The laws covering what to do with crimes committed by young criminals vary from state to state resulting in what appears to be trivial punishments for the most serious of crimes.

The War on Poverty destroyed the black family. In 1965, the illegitimacy birth rate for blacks was 24%. Now it's just under 75%. The reason is because a mother gets more in welfare and other transfer payments if the father is
not in the home. How 'bout this: reduce the welfare payments by 20% if the father is not in the home, but give the family the full amount if he stays in the home. You don't think the mother would identify and go after the father for several thousand dollars a year? Black men needs to be responsible for their kids, not the taxpayer. It's easy to be a father...much harder to be a parent.

For the democrats, the Great Society was a brilliant success. As LBJ put it, it will "have the n*****s voting democrat for the next 200 years." Mission accomplished -- at least for the last 60 years. Maybe we're beginning to erode the lock a bit, which is why the dems are now replacing black Americans will illegal future democrats from around the world.

Good suggestion. Add to that Trump wanting to bring industry back to America.
A father in the home who is making decent factory money. That’s a recipe for success.
