110. Barbtries, I want to give you a hug. You have shown more understanding here

than I've seen in any of the threads on this subject. The pain that you have been through helped you to grow where it would make some very bitter.

It is right and just that these boys be made to face the consequenses of their actions. But they have been given a chance at redemption. It is in their own hands. And that is just. They are young enough to reform their attitudes, beliefs, actions, treatment of others, and their lives.

There are far too many in this country who, due to developmental disorders, had no real understanding of right and wrong/legal, and illegal who are serving far harsher sentences for far lesser infractions with no chance at redemption in the future.

These boys are lucky. They were charged, as they should have been, as the juveniles that they are, and not as adults, facing adult consequenses, as too mnay juveniles are charged in today's world.

(PS: I think Barb tries really hard and succeeds very well.)
