Lower the age of criminal liability

Young criminals. Despite movements calling for the stop to lowering the age of criminal liability for children, there are others who want it. According to an Ear source, a group of children regularly steal goods for his sari-sari store whenever they get delivered and he can’t do anything about it.“Unsaon man na nato mga bata man? Kon ato dapatan kita man sad i-report didto sa DSWD,” the vendor said.

No spanking. The same vendor thinks the law being proposed that outlaws the spanking of children is also as bad as the law protecting juvenile offenders.“Di ta makadakop nila, di ta maka-ingon sa ilang mga ginikanan nga bunala…unsaon na lang? Kana sila kamao naman na sila onsay sayop og onsay sakto,” he said.
