can you help e respond to the post with the questions below maximum 2 paragraph per question.

If a person possession mens rea then they should be charged. In the case of Kayla, Chris Boaz set clear intentions! He did not like her. He bit, pinched, punched, and stabbed her and other students prior to the killing. Chris brought a handgun and a knife that was taken away at the beginning of the school day. He basically planned out the murder. Due to the nature of the crime, he should be charged as an adult and sentenced to a mental institution where they could observe his behavior. The main argument is a child does not understand how wrong the action is. A child understands right from wrong, but could they handle the repercussions of their actions. In Iraq, South Africa, New Zealand kids can be charged with murder at the age of 10, in Iran girls 9 years old can be. Age requirements around the world shouldn't be the only thing considered. American history Carroll Edward Cole committed his first murder of an animal at 7, then drained a kid at 8 years. His first murder started a terrible path for him. Later he confessed to over 15 killings. Retta McCabe would burst into a frenzy one day leading to her kicking and pounding another student to death. She was sent to a psychiatric ward but was later released due to them not being able to help. She received no treatment or jail time and ended up running away shortly afterwards. Lastly Lizzie Cook age 6 at the time burned her little baby brother alive due to him crying. No jail time or required psychiatric treatment is ridiculous just because the children aren't a certain age. Even though a teenage boy brain isn't fully developed until 21 they are still eligible for jail time. Most kids understand death and that it hurts due to losing a family member. Chris Boaz had a traumatic childhood compared to the others I mentioned, but there is no excuse. What about the kids in his same circumstances that made it out with picking up a gun. We live in New Orleans where most of these people want their children to be gangsters at a young age so know are taught about guns early and understand what they do. Don't even get me started on the requirements for gun purchasing, because I have witnessed and older white male buying to riffles for his underage grandsons that he had been taking hunting.

In your opinion what is the minimum age a youth should be held responsible for committing a crime?

What role should a psychologist play in determining the mens rea of a youth?
