  • @STRONGMAN415 In the state of New York, a fourteen year old who commits class B felony robbery, or class A murder in the second degree is deemed a "juvenile offender" (as opposed to juvenile delinquent). Such a child is subject to criminal sanctions typically reserved for adult offenders. You're right, there are kids who are "just bad." The issue is what level of culpability should we afford adoloscent criminal acts; and, should we simply punish or seek to rehabilitate juvenile offenders?

  • Does anyone know what is the current status of Spofford? Is it still under operation today as a juvenile detention facility?

  • And what do you do when a 14 year old commits rape armed robbery or murder tell me .I have been living in the Bronx my whole life and just some kids are bad you never give an awnswer to this.

  • REALLLYY COOOL!!!!
