When Age Isn’t Innocence: Rethinking Minor Laws

A few years ago, there was a news report circulating about 3 boys in a state in my country…What did they do?

They SA and killed the girlfriend of one of them, and the purpose of doing this is to use her body parts for ritual…

What they did shocked everyone, and when the police investigated, it was discovered that none of them was over 18. The oldest wasn’t even 17.

And yet, they did something that many adults wouldn’t even imagine doing.

This raises a question: Should minors like this face the full consequences of their actions, or should they be pardoned just because of their age?

Sometimes I feel the laws protecting minors have become a problem. Today, many young people know more than some adults, have access to things we never had, and are making choices that show they understand right and wrong.

Some minors no longer care about education or hard work and are chasing fast ways to make money, often breaking the rules.

If they are old enough to make serious decisions, should age always protect them from the consequences?

During the coronavirus lockdown, there was a group of boys who called themselves the “One Million Boys.”

While people were stuck at home, struggling with no work, no money, no food, these boys were going around robbing, harassing, injuring, and even killing people.

The situation got so bad that citizens realized it had become a matter of life and death. Eventually, people had to take their safety into their own hands.

The shocking part? The “One Million Boys” were minors. Most of them were less than 18 years old, yet they were causing chaos, hurting people, and robbing at will.

It got to a point where everyone had to step out and defend themselves. The police stations were overwhelmed, and the situation even pushed people to support jungle justice because there was no space to handle the criminals.

It really makes you wonder… when minors are capable of serious crimes like this, should age always protect them from facing the consequences of their actions?

Some laws meant to protect minors now feel like they are being abused, and society ends up paying the price.

In my opinion, if there is going to be a law protecting minors, 18 years is too high. It should be lower, maybe even 12.

These teenagers aren’t kids anymore. Many of them have experienced life more than some adults.

Some of them even talk about what they have done, and if you hear their stories, you will be shocked.

The world has changed, and laws meant to protect the young shouldn’t end up protecting those who clearly know right from wrong.
