Should children be tried as adults, and if so, what's the youngest?

Asked by jca (36062points) July 25th, 2012

A teen commits a horrific murder. Should he or she be tried as an adult, or in juvenile court, with the laws and protections given to juvenile criminals?

If a child commits a horrific murder, should he/she be tried as an adult?
