To the editor:
The Cape Coral Police crowed recently about the arrest of a 14-year-old and gleefully released his photograph. It was then reprinted in full color in the regional press. Maybe we could be honest about what we are doing here: We should simply cook these kids on a BBQ spit and eat them.
We really should have legislation requiring treating these kids as kids. Specifically, we should prohibit release of photographs and identifying information related to juveniles, unless and until a court of proper jurisdiction certifies them as "adults," after a proper hearing and for cause shown.
With any decent luck, they could become grown-ups. (Like us).
