Should we send teenage killers away for life?

You only have to mention teenage offenders and you get a wave of opinions. Some want to go easy because they are "kids". Others say treat them just like grownups, if they do an adult crime.

The US Supreme Court is debating whether it is cruel and unusual to send teenage criminals away for life without parole. But, you have to ask yourself is every 13 year old and/or his crime the same? The answer has to be no. Perhaps there may be teens who can be "saved" in the juvenile system and that would be great if a youngster can become a productive person. But, what about those who can't be helped? Where do you send them? Some say the only answer is prison, for life.
