I think people dont believe you because it was never Up Hill to begin with,it was just never heard about.
Though I do think this is terrible, how did the thought even enter his head :( :shrug: :(

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape

steady decline..........

No offense meant here :D

But instead of creating a new thread at this time, would it not be possible for you to just post a thread with news and then post the relevant links to each topic.

I could sit here all night and post links and create new threads every time a news item broke out.

Just a thought.

:D

Just a thought,

Could we not give Kronas his own section, something like 'The Kronie News Network'

Just a thought :D :D

no that would be bias, it would not be feasable aswell, it would take the scope off the 'items' i post. :rolleyes:

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

kids are learning more and more about sex at earlier and earlier ages.....who knows he may have been subject to sexual abuse.... :( doesnt take away from what he did though, being raped at any age isnt pleasant but being that young and not really understanding what is happening (maybe) is not pleasant at all :cry:

and you lot dont be mean to kronie...he is just trying to get discussions going

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

I believe you :(

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

Just out of interest..... i read in the report on this story in The Scotsman that Judge Clifton ordered that Abdo register as a sex offender for life and he lifted an order which had previously banned his identity from being published.

Abdo commited the crime when he was 11 years old..... is this necessary?
Although his sentence is only 30 months in detention.... is this life sentence justified in the light of his age? Is he likely to change his behaviour as he matures? The boys that killed Jamie Bulger now have their indentities hidden.... and they were of similar ages....

Just wondering......

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

thanks for the extra information :)


yes i believe it is.

no need for the drama, its not exactly a life sentence, i see your point, but he did something he knew he was doing, and i think he knew it and took advantage.......

possibly, but who knows, its better to keep things under control rather then let him loose.

no one can justify there actions, the law is not consistant its unfair but that is life, it can be unfair, you have to put up with that.

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

I could not agree more.... If he new it was wrong then he should be punished for it.

Why is it that people are allways thinking of the criminal and not the victim ? :mad:

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

thats what i believe also.........


im sick of the constant 'relaxed' attitude towards criminals/offenders just because he is young you can tell me we should be 'easy' on him sorry but NO we are 'easy' on alot of people and that does not get you anywhere except cause even more offenses and offenders........

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

Having never read any studies on sex criminals (and yes, I do realise rape has nothing to do with sex), I do believe that at 11 the guy SHOULD know what is right and what is wrong. I personally believe he should be treated the same way as any rapist.

However, I don't believe his ID should have been revealed.

Re: 12 year old convicted of rape
 

What drama? I was simply asking a couple of questions that came to mind... i haven't expressed my opinion on his sentence or the crime. I hardly ever offer my opinion on forums... i only ask questions that might help me to understand what others are thinking.
I asked if people considered the boy being put on the sex offender register for life acceptable.... that is what i referred to as a life sentence.

Both you and Stuartbe seem to have assumed that i am sympathetic to the boy's case.... a boy who raped a 9 yr old girl..... and showed no remorse...... all i did was ask a couple of open ended questions without condemning his actions or agreeing with his punishment.


However, i have your opinions and that was all i was after. So thank you.
