Should minors have a death sentence?

Question

There are people who believe that minors should have the death penalty based on what the crime they did (basically the same rules for adults).
A video went around of a child, 6 or 9 years old and he was basically choking, kicking, and punching younger kids at a daycare. Maybe like 2 year olds and such, and he would do this soooo much, but in the end the daycare worker went to jail for neglect I believe?
There are more stories of how teenagers and 10 year olds end up killing even younger children by drowning, suffocating, abusing, and even raping toddlers and such. 
There were arguments about how the kid (and other kids like him) should be "put down" and such since most people believed that if you're already doing those things at a young age and know it's wrong, then there's no point in your future if you've already messed up.
What do you think? Should minors also be put on on death row based on the crimes they did like as an adult? Or do you think there are better options for them?

Answer

I don't think anyone should have death sentence.

Answer

Shocked at the poll results. No, I don't think we should execute children.

I'm not really sure how the daycare example is relevant. I hope no one believes we should kill a child for hurting other kids. That behavior doesn't just come out of nowhere. The supervising adult is absolutely the one who should have faced charges.

Answer

What age are we talking about specifically? Because I remember in Junko Furuta's case (extremely graphic and awful case, don't search it up if you're one of those people that will continue to think about it for years afterward) that there were a few minors involved, I believe. And for them, I find the death penalty to be appropriate considering the severity of the case.

Answer

I don't believe the death penalty is appropriate at all, ever. If you take someone's life or support the action of it, you are just as bad as any other murderer out there in my eyes.

Answer

Killing children with behavioral problems is awful. Lock them up in an institution but don't murder them!!!!

Answer

If they are old enough to understand their actions and understand what they did then yes they should have the same punishment

Answer

Really depends on age. A 15 year old is more likely to know and understands the law and morals than a 5 year old, who may know, but probably won't fully understand.

Answer

I'd say it depends on how old they are, because 5-6 years old don't really realise what they're doing and what's bad and what's good. But once they hit their prepuberty ages, so around 10-12, I'd say yes. Just because they're minors doesn't mean they can do crap like that without getting prosecuted for it. Thy realise and know very well what they're doing at that age

Answer

If you have the ability to kill at that age, then maybe we shouldn't give them a chance to murder more people. And its not like people change so...

Answer

I don't even think it's appropriate for young teens to be sentenced as adults, let alone executing children! Most can be rehabilitated with love and proper treatment/care. There is a reason kids behave the way they do, and they haven't been doing it for so long they cannot change. I'm not saying that some won't grow into awful adults, but all should be given a chance
