Re:  Halifax hospital opposes Harper's youth justice plans

Ruth Carter obviously does not realize what impact a crime has on the victim. It is about time that someone in government decided to step up and do something about young offenders. If they are old enough to commit a crime the whole world should know who they are and what they did. They also should go to jail with the inmates in the penitentiary and for life if the crime is murder. They choice to do this crime and they should most definitely pay for it. Instead trying to waste more of the tax payers dollars by trying to rehabilitate these people [we should] teach them what it is like to be a victim and show them they are responsible to make changes in their own lives. Good for the government; put them behind bars and publish their names and crimes of all young offenders.
