Kids do stupid things. Their bad decisions can have dire consequences. Saints linebacker Demario Davis says the criminal justice system isn't dealing with children correctly. USA Today reports, He says some states allow kids as young as 10 to be charged in criminal court for offenses like stealing a candy bar, or getting in a playground scuffle. Thirteen states have no minimum age for prosecuting children in adult court alongside rapists & murderers. Children's brains aren't fully developed, especially the areas pertaining to impulse control. Davis recommends early intervention, rather than treating kids like career criminals.
