Santo Domingo.– The National Director for Boys, Girls and
Adolescents, Marisol Tobal, of the Attorney General's
office, said there are 410 minors with criminal files involving them in murders, drug trafficking, assaults, rapes and armed robberies.
According to Tobal, 87% of these minors are male and 13% are female and they are in jail on warrants issued by judges specialized in juvenile justice. "The
most common crime among is generally aggravated assault or
robbery with violence, with homicide common among adolescents, and drug
trafficking and rapes are in third and fourth place, respectively."
Regarding the the complaint of the police chief Major General Rafael Guillermo Guzman
Fermin, that the number of minors implicated in
criminal activities is increasing, the assistant Attorney General pointed out that less than 1% of the adolescents are

410 SIMPLE MATH don't add then Total.
What a relief...Good thing were just taking about the ones Arrested Convicted and Detained, right.
Never mind the 100's of Thousands of Tigres roaming the Streets and not counted, .
Have WE gone Full Circle yet ?
CONSIDER:
Teach a Child Love, Love your Child.
Teach a Child Respect, Respect your Child.
Teach a Child Responsibility, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
Teach a Child Discipline, Discipline your Child.
Teach a Child Faith & Trust in GOD.
Teach a Child what's right from wrong.
End result is a RESPONSIBLE ADULT and hopefully a RESPONSIBLE PARENT.
Children are not Human possessions, Children are a GIFT from GOD, Children don't have the option of being born, it takes two to tangle one has to ask WHERE ARE THE PARENTS OF THESE CHILDREN ? [ maybe self made victims of the Full Circle Syndrome ].
GOD save the Children, they are our Future.

410 minors?
I hope they are watching them closely. It would be easy for them to tunnel out and escape.
Seriously....410?
Only 410? That number just reflects a permissive society. Statistical the number of juveniles who commit serious crimes is much higher.

Ali Juanito and the 409 Criminals, the new future Mobsters, Drug leaders, Thieves, Pimps, Swindlers, Hit Men etc..etc.. when School lets out they'll be the new leaders of the already 100's of thousand Tigres, I think I see a crime wake coming "Poverty and Crime go hand in hand".
What a bright future, and to think we could all thank a few hundred IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS and counting.......GONE FULL CIRCLE, the new DR...in a state of dizziness.

Those criminals, their defenders and parents or guardians should thank their lucky stars a person like me is not in power in the DR. To me all criminals should pay for their crimes regardless of age, mental retardation, genre, race or social status, and in the case of minors their parents or guardians should also be punished. International treaties my ass, we have our own reality and we should deal with it our way.

I suppose that rate of criminal activity by adolescents and minors represents direct indictment of civility level in our society. We are not talking about great numbers here and, on per capita basis, I would suppose that it is no different from anywhere else.
We should endeavor to segregate crimes by type, age, etc and meet out commensurate punishment. However, we must do this without encouraging crime by conveying feeling that people of a certain age could not be convicted of certain crimes. That would just perpetuate crime without fear of punishment. That just wouldn't be right.
Until reaching adult age, 21 years of age, I would caution about mixing under-age miscreants with adult population. In my opinion, that would only lead to hardened criminals.
