  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

      Using gaol to try and improve outcomes for 10 year olds is like using a machine gun to hammer in nails.

      The criminal justice system is absolutely not correct tool for the job. It is a massive problem in our country that there’s massive amounts of money to spend on someone in gaol once they’ve broken some laws but very little before that point.
