scoop Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just reading this: http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/local/raging_boy_clubbed_his_mum_to_death_with_baseball_bat_1_3461715 Although putting children in prison provokes a knee jerk "NO" - its clear that this boy has a string of extremely violent offences behind him and allowing him his liberty has ultimately cost his mother her life.

Mr Prime Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Anyone with extremely violent tendencies clearly has mental health problems and should remain in prison indefinitely until a panel of 5 psychiatrists say it's OK to let them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stvoider Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think the title of this thread is perhaps a little misleading. This (for want of a better word) thing is a psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he has been throughout his childhood. We can only assume that the reason he was at liberty to inflict extreme violence is because he's a child. If he'd been imprisoned to protect the public earlier his mum would be alive, and I imagine there'd be far fewer victims living with the emotional scars of what e's done to them.

Flowersfade Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Usually I wouldn't agree but this man and his ilk should be locked up and periodically examined to see if they are fit to live in society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenyweeny Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 He's not a man - he's a child. if he can murder his own mother, he should do a mans punishment.even though in the eyes of the law hes a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 if he can murder his own mother, he should do a mans punishment.even though in the eyes of the law hes a child. But what about before he killed his Mum - when it will ave been clear to professionals that he was a very nasty young man who was going to end up doing something like this - when he was commiting almost daily acts of violence - should he ave been put away then for our protecton? BTW he hasn't murdered her - it was manslaughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to say his mental state means he doesn;t understand what he was doing, then this is another reason to lock him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
