If this 14 yr old killed this little boy, he should be tried as an adult... Reply

And send him to prison for the rest of his life for a (heinous) crime he committed when he was fourteen?

You're right, it was a juvenile mistake. Let's pat him on the wrist with four years of juvie, so that when he gets out he can kill a bunch more. He murdered a four year old. His mind is broken. He's not going to be safe in society ever again.
