legal constraints???  

Well if it is as serious as that one I guess it should be exempted from the law protecting them because it is pretty obvious that terrorist is using the kid to sow terror amongst the public. I think the child should be in custody but not imprisoned with adult jailer.

I would support this law. Though if it was implemented I believe that it shouldn't be carried out half-assedly which our current legal system cannot do. I think there should be appropriate psychological profiling and emotional counseling for the kids should they go to jail.

I don't know how the current system works for those who commit crime in the philippines but i do know that there are children who are are already fully aware of the consequences of their actions or are being used by criminal organizations and rely on that law for them to go through without too much trouble

I am not abreast with that abolition, but I think and in my opinion, the law protecting minors has to be amended or at least revised. Oh, by the way, from what country are you? Well, I am referring to Philippine laws. Minors nowadays are being used by syndicates or lawbreakers in the commission of crimes because it benefits them not to be imprisoned. However, there is a law here that whoever is using that minor or who have induced the minor to commit a crime is not exempted from punishment.
