For example

On the other hand
, some people opine these teenagers should be treated in child welfare centres because their mind is not fully developed yet. They are not even aware of the intensity of the situation and have done such
crimes
without thinking much. Moreover
, it does not mean they have a criminal mind and they can become a responsible citizen in the future if they get the right environment. I completely agree with them because, these children
are the future of our society
, and nurturing them in a good environment and educating them with social values, will make them responsible citizens. For instance
, it could be seen in the developed nations, children
who once committed a violent act and were rehabilitated, have even become doctors and engineers and hence
serving their nations.
In conclusion, some people think that under-18 children
committing violent crimes
should be punished like grown-ups as society
is not safe if we are surrounded by those child criminals, others have a view these young minds are not fully developed and should be treated in rehabilitation places for their development. I agree with the idea of sending them to rehabilitation centres because sending them to welfare homes, will make their lives better and they will come back to society
as a better individual.Submitted by ankita91sh on
