Oh, piss off. Imprisoning 10yos is an affront to human decency and you are a vile person for calling it “excellent.”

Excellent, crime is out of hand up here.
I was talking with a police officer who was in a pursuit where the kids chased the police cars and kept trying to ram tyne police. When they finally stopped tyne pursuit the driver was 11 years old so that took the kid home to his parents. Then an hour later arrested the same kid again for trying to steal another car.

Imprisoning literal children is worse than vague “crime,” you sick fuck.

No, a child who steals assaults rapes needs to be removed from what ever environment they’re in and placed elsewhere to teach them right from wrong.
Unless you think they will magically learn themselves because their parents don’t care

Funny how the police can lock someone in jail, but they can’t do anything to help a broken family. Drag thinks we could use some non-police solutions to the problem, because drag doesn’t think putting 11 year olds in prison is a humane way of fixing anything.

Taking a kid from that family would be an immediate improvement no matter how it was done

Drag can think of many things a government could do to a kid worse than being in an abusive household. Hypothetically: Killing, slave labour, chemical experiments, exposure to addictive drugs. Realistically: Surrounding him with a bunch of older criminals who will traumatise him just as bad as his parents and also teach him how to scale up his crimes to violent crimes against civilians. What if the older kids beat him up, or get him on alcohol or cigarettes?
Drag can also think of solutions that don’t involve any violence. Like family therapy, a support pension, or rehabilitation programs for the parents.

Services do.exist, and it’s bold of Drag to assume these children aren’t already exposed to alcohol, cigarettes or other addictive drugs, this could even be happening in their home, along with violence and crime. It could even be part of abuse they experience at home.
Abusive homes are inhumane, prison is inhumane, child separation is inhumane, forced rehab and therapy are inhumane. I’ve known a couple of car stealing 11 year olds and they just thought it was fun, they slso knew there would be no consequences, so why not?
