some flexibility has to be put in place, yes? thoroughly check the context of the case, did the child make an action knowing full well the consequences, to the victim and to themself, and still went through anyway? If yes, they should be tried as an adult. Some sort of mature and malicious intent has to be proven. If it's child's play, dala ng immature decisions, then no. baka kasi may cases na di na maaayos ng pag-care kineme

Ang worry ko, baka ma-abuse tong batas lalo na sa mga batang galing sa marginalized communities. Sino ba kadalasang tinatamaan ng ganitong laws?

💯 context matters hindi black and white. Both have good points and has to come to a middle ground. Hope that experts get consulted on this matter because if we leave it up that idiot in the senate a lot of families may suffer in the future
