Childhood is the most fun and memorable time in anyone’s life. It’s the first stage of life which we enjoy in whatever way we like. Besides, this is the time that shapes up the future.

But what happens if one day they commit a crime ?

Convict or Another chance ?

Summary

The video clips comes from different sources such as news, documentary and music video.

The video clips that we’ve watched is relate about “The Juvenile Justic Law” or “Age of Criminal Liability”, a bill proposing to lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 15 years to 12 years.This means that those between with that ages may be detained in youth centers and go through rehabilitation programs.

On the video clips, some group of youths got inside on a jeep and they took out some passenger’s bags and gears. They spit on them and even abuse or hurting the people inside while doing it. Others came from the news, which is an nterview and talking about a topic agreeing of lowering the ages from 9 years old when a child commit some crime.

“BAHAY PAG ASA”

A rehabilitation center where they kept all the children away from crimes , there are some people who took care of them and teaching them the right lessons and good manners.

Another clip was they interview some children detainee in rehabilitation center in cebu who commit some crime, they ask them what’s the reason they was on the center.

These are their answers:

• They where abandoned by their parents because of financial capabilty

• Commit some serious crime such stealing money from other to buy foods

• Left at home and live in strees, become addicted in sniffing solvent

“Crimes against children are the most heinous crime. That, for me, wouldbe a reason for capital punishment because children are innocent and need the guidance of society” ~ Clint Eastwood

This law has been way too far in some manners, the people who has a power on deciding what this law states will gonna be is on their hands. The parents love and care for their children and the children to the same too. Moreover, it’s the golden period of life in which we can teach children everything.In childhood, one should need to enjoy his/her life without any worry. It is a time in which one should have to take care of his diet, his health, and immunity. Besides, the children should be taught to be neat and clean, to eat, read, sleep, play, and these things should be in the habits of the child.

Review

The video clips was related to my passion or blog by traveling to different places i encountered many streetchildren that abandoned by their parents. As children in young ages, they should be travel and explore their environment, experience new things that they don’t having yet. I think the exposure to new places and new people can be really reviving personally and also eye opening to see how other people live to them . To see how life functions, whether human or natural life, in other places is really humbling. It’s easy to have their status at home, but as soon as you’re in a new place, all bets are off. They can do anything, and are so willing to try new stuff to push their own boundaries purely because you’re in a new place. Travel because not only is it the ultimate adventure but it also exposes them to new types of people, different ways of living, and opens up their mind.

The video clips was related to present issues or problems like especially “poverty” that pushes them to commit a crime such steal money from other people for a reason of personal needs and reason like foods to fill their hungry stomach. Street children, more of them was left at home and live with streets because they were abandoned by their own parents because of financial capability to support them. Maybe they were under by some cindicates and uses them. Treating children as criminals removes obligation from adults who are responsible for safeguarding them. If children who have been exploited by criminal syndicates are penalized instead of the adults who abused them, we fail to fullfil the rights and well-being of children.

The video clips was related to my experiences, thoughts and feelings by when I was a kid I also stealing money from my parents to buy my wants, but my conscience call me. When I grew up and make up my mind, may independence maximize and had my first work on high-school because I’m thinking to help in our financial needs. Iwas felt sad for the kids in the center who abandoned by their family with the same age as mine. Lowering age criminal liability does not solve the real problem and root cause of criminality. Adults will use children lower than the proposed minimum age for criminal liability. Detaining children will not teach them responsibility for their actions. In order to expand their potential to contribute to our country , children must grow up in a caring, nurturing and protective environment. This requires strong parenting support programs and assess to health, education and social services as well as to child-sensitive justice and social welfare systems .The government must address the long-term socio economic issues. They must ensure children grow in an environment free of violence and the rights to development and protection are there. Our government must offer and take actions to this problem in giving vocational lesson and occupations facilities.

The video clips increase my understanding in the topic because it gives a lot of information and now im very familiarize with the topic. Good and intersting topic. Imagine that for one bowl of rice divided it into fifteen person. When raining comes that the time were they have the chance to bath themselves and wash their clothes. Even in the rehabilitation center still there has stealing of clothes happening, they were even not fitted in one room. Im thinking by myself that im very lucky person with my stand in life right now. The children must be seperated from adult’s jail because they might be get abuse by them, the diseases possible to pass it to them. Due to lack of youth care facilities, children will most likely end up in jails where they may be subjected to violence and abuse. Detention should be the last place, not the first and only option. In early age they might think that he was a criminal but actually not.

Yes, i would have a words to recommend this topic to them, because this was very interesting and serious topic to solve to. By sharing this blog could be change their perspective and help to workout a pettion to the issue. Criminal punishments can harm children, damaging their future perception at school or at work. Another, the current conditions in the Philippine penal and corrective system are already exposed, child corrective facilities and jails are some of the most overcrowded in the world and some children are placed in jails with adults, neither are the best environment within which to support children’s development and social integration.

So to sum up, I DO NOT AGREE WITH LOWERING THE AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY. just how important the minimum age of criminal responsibility is not forcing the children to grow up, and being able to giving them “SECOND CHANCE TO CHANGE” and have a real childhood. We should be able to educate them about right or wrong before we put them in jail without knowing the consequences for their actions. Punish the crime syndicates who take advantage of children, not the children who need to be rescued, supported, and rehabilitated. Push for the full and effective implementation of the law so that both children who commit crimes and their victims are assisted and supported.
