    Great content. A little extra information, there are some states that have special laws that allow minors to be tried as adults if they have committed heinous crimes. Unfortunately, there are cases where severely mentally disabled children are tried as adults and thrown in prison. So the harsher laws can be a double edge sword.
    Great video! Thank you again! 💜

      Yes. In the first video of the boy who committed arson, I actually looked into it and he supposedly has autism and learning impairment. One of the reasons the police charged him was because he didn’t “attempt” to save his brother, and just stood there. I don’t know the full story but his parents are fighting to get his sentenced reduced. They’re saying he was not mentally capable of understanding or rescuing his brother.

      It's also worth considering that American prisons don't rehabiliate. Guards abuse, torture and kill prisoners. Prisoners beat, extort and kill other prisoners. Rape is common. Almost anyone sent into an American prison comes out with less empathy and far more prone to violence and hate.
      The US has the highest rate and number of prisoners in the world and I think the daily headlines speak for themselves regarding how well they work. Last I checked the American rate of recidivism (how many released prisons go on to commit more crimes) is around 60%. The American system of justice regarding imprisonment is objectively ineffective and is not really something that should be admired.
      10% of those executed in the United States are later found not to have been guilty of the crime.

      The reason why official crime rates for a variety of crimes in Korea & Japan, from assault to rape, are low, is due to society (both positively and negatively), a ‘slap on the wrist’ attitude to many of these crimes, and the lack of reporting, investigation, and transparency. There was outrage a while back about a (huge for its kind) university sex club whose members serially raped many female students after intoxicating them with alcohol during parties, but despite the outrage, such clubs still exist today in many Japanese (and likely Korean) universities.

      Asian countries seem to be slow. There criminal justice system seems either lacking or too much. Korean laws protects criminals more then the victim the most hated child molester is free because apparently taking alcohol while assaulting a child she was not even in the double digits gives you less responsibility for your actions. Plus US culture could not have Korean justice system. Because so many repeat offenders and a culture that at times praises violence over social harmony. Seems like Korean criminals after their slap on the wrist die down. American offender repeat the same crime over and over half get readmitted.

    The law in Korea is an absolute joke. Always has been, always will be. There’s 3 types of sentencing structures in Korea: for the minors, for the rich, and for everyone else. Like America and other countries, the rich are the rich. They get away with crimes unless it’s just heinous and the media puts a spectacle on. The sentencing could be severe if found guilty but never to the level of the common person. In Korea, that doesn’t even matter. Sentencing will always be a joke. For minors, Korea doesn’t even punish them at all. And for everyone else, Korea will find them guilty but serve like 1-5 years for crimes that other countries would sentence 10-25 for.
    It’s an absolute disgrace that the citizens allow this to continue. In order, if Korea would ever break up the conglomerates that run the country, then maybe they can start toughening up the law at some point thereafter. Otherwise, this will continue on.

    I do not know Korean law so I am speaking only on what I have seen in this video.
    1. It would seem that the law allows a way that Criminal Organizations can recruit gangs of children from poorer neighborhoods with very little risk to themselves. All they have to do is be enticing to the wants or needs of a child. "Hey, you like all the fun toys and clothes your friends have? I know a way you can get those" and "If you tell anyone about us we will harm your family"
    2. Poor families could use it as well to send their own children out because they know their child will not get into any trouble and they can threaten them with punishment if they tell anyone. In some cases it could even be the parents that set their kid up with the organizations in exchange for a cut of what is stolen.
    A young child in most cases cannot even discern between wants and needs. all they know is desires or what their parents tell them to do. Especially in countries where parents are strictly to be obeyed.
    The law to me neds a way to entice or a child the other direction. Offering them rewards if they tell on those that are using them. Now, if it is an organization, I am not stupid. I know the repercussions of telling on them which is why I feel there should be funding available to move and rehouse the families and a reward amount to help them start over in a new place. Funding would be given via a request from law enforcement to the government explaining that the family needs protection from large organizations.
    The scare option would be to pretend like the organization lied to them and that they face being put in prison with the only way out being to tell on who is sending them out to do crimes. As above, there should be a family rehousing far from the area.
    Keep in mind that these ideas are off the top of my head and only meant as outlines, obviously there needs to be more intense discussion and fleshing out of the ideas.

    I have watched a South Korean programme where their is a panel of South Korean celebs and they are shown incidents and the host, who is a lawyer asks them (after the incident) what they thought the punishment of the offender was. It not only shocked me but also shocked the celebs as the sentencing for the crimes didn't add up to the crimes - especially hit and runs, multiple car accidents by one offender and especially where you could tell "payment of money" was made to lessen the sentence as the crime clearly didn't add up to the crime. That being said I personally think harsher penalities need to be made with the younger generation. In my country New Zealand crimes/murders committed by 14/15/16/17 year olds is at an all time high and punishment is lenient to the point where if it is your first time offence you aren't charged but fined (in most cases) so of course they go out and do it again and again and again because their is no real consequence for them. I have always stated my view as "If you have purposely killed someone then you pay with your life" Tougher laws and punishments need to be reestablished universally!

As someone also mentioned depending am they crime they can be tried as adults however they still get the chance for appeal where as adults for those same crimes do not get the chance to appeal.

      To be fair to the boy. Its very likely he did feel bad/sorry about it, however talking like that is a defense mechanism especially kids/teens use to toughen up oneself even if its just for them emotionally. sweeping it under the rug and pretending it aint that bad. You see that shit everyday with kids/teens. However mighty stupid to say that when people can listen to wtf u sayin besides the people supposed to hear it. I dont know the case btw and dont know what exactly went on. What i said before is generalizing the behaviour.

    When I was a kid, the legal system was very much like Korea. I knew kids that took advantage of the system, since at 16 any juvenile charges were either wiped clean or a judge would seal your juvenile record. It never followed you into adult life. Very rare, where I lived anyway, for kids to committ murder. But that started changing here in Canada in the mid to late 1970's. Laws changed not long after and kids would be raised to adult court for severe crimes. They still reside in a juvenile detention center until 18 years old, but finish their sentence in adult prison.
    I'm sure a lot of things are taken into consideration, including psychological/psychiatric issues, abuse by parents etc. before charging kids as adults.

    Teenagers should be punished according to the crime they committed and not according to their age. It's absurd that they have a free pass in life to commit as many crimes as they want before they're adults and given ridiculous sentences that are nothing more than a pat on the hand and a wish for a good adult life. As much as they are not adults, they know what is right and what is wrong.
    If they decide to take someone's life, let them be judged as adults and not as teenagers who, I don't know, stole a candy in a candy store. I always get angry when I see these young people committing the most absurd crimes and not receiving any real punishment for it. No wonder these cases keep repeating themselves, they know they won't be punished.
    From the little news I've seen about Korea, you have a judicial system that doesn't seem to want to properly punish criminals. Except in cases of celebrities who use drugs. Then everything is taken much more seriously than it should be. Serious crimes can get lesser sentences, but celebrities using drugs? Lock them in prisons and throw away the key!

      In my state in the US, we have laws against "Contributing to the delinquency of a minor" to combat this behavior. It is a criminal offense with varying penalties based on what the child is encouraged to do and actually does - a relatively minor misdemeanor charge if the child's crime is minor, like shoplifting. But if a first-degree murder is committed because of this, it's basically treated the same as first-degree murder by both individuals. This really keeps a check on such issues, as long as it can be proven in court.

What you hear on the news does not represent us. Not everyone has a gun. In fact, a lot of liberals here in the US fear them, don't own them, and push for policies to try to make it harder for other people to get them. The biggest thing you can do to feel safe in America is to steer clear of big cities. Big cities = big crime. Plus, politicians don't do a very good job with keeping felons under lock and key if they assault people. They let them go so they can hurt more people. It happens often in big cities, so when visiting, try to avoid big cities if you can. Plus, some neighborhoods are safer than others. Avoid downtown areas.
      Also, in America, I feel safer knowing that people have guns because I know that someone who is carrying can put down a threat very quickly. Sometimes I consider getting a gun for safety. Criminals will always have a weapon, so don't ever let yourself be defenseless if you can help it. That's how a lot of us think (at least us conservatives).

I think that would have brought up a more suitable discussion about what kind of punishment should be considered since what i got from the video is that in Korea if you are below the age of 14 you are pretty much free to go and beyond 14 its up to 15 years. Considering the crimes that were shown for the US system this just doesnt sit right with me as i can imagine that those 2 teenagers (who were both above 14) would have received the same or similar punishment in Korea (15 years).
