In Germany two girls under 14 y. o. murdered another kid, due to their age they cannot be charged. What do you think should happen to them?

So this incident happened pretty recently and it seems child violence is seriously on the rise. A young girl got killed brutally by her peers. They planned the murder to the detail, stabbed her over 30 times put a plastic bag over her head and left her for dead in the forest. They later shrugged it off as if it was nothing, even calling one of the parents telling a lie about where the victim is and make tiktok videos. Recently it even got out that the girls googled at what age you can get charged and get away with it. These are signs of true psychopaths.

Law in Germany though says under 14, you cannot be seen as guilty. As if saying, under 14 you're all innocent and good. What do you think of this, should the law be updated to 10 y. o? What is wrong with those parents as well? To me they carry part of the guilt. Next to this case, also lots of child gangs and violence happens, one of the reasons is that they are well aware that they can get away with it due to their age.

i think there should be exceptions for such brutal crimes. but i also think this is not such a wide spread issue as you make it seem, cause i think if it was, the law would long have been changed.

They should be taken out into the forest, have bags put over their heads, and each stabbed 30 times.

Germanys law is messed up.

Actually it is not. Our imprisoned population is a tenth of the United States, our recidivism rate half of the United States and the clearing-rate for heavy crimes twice that of the United States. Our laws work well 98% of the time. These are absolute extreme exceptions.

@DryGermanGuy Germany has lot of hate crime and problems with sexual violence and immigrants. If anything their laws need to be tougher

I have been living here for 40+ years, so I know what is going on. Our crime rate has reached an all time low some time ago. So again, taking extreme exceptions of crimes and trying to use them for changes in legislation makes little sense.

I actually agree with that. I partly live in Germany and see that a lot.

[DryGermanGuy]

You see #what# a lot, exactly?
