Sad because of his age? You need to get out more and see the real world. The reality is the criminals are getting younger and younger. The juvenile laws need to be revamped to reflect this. Your ideological belief that these poor kids just need guidance will continue to fuel the juvenile criminal fire. Good luck folks, because they are getting younger and more violent.
