MeJust the ones that need

MeJust the ones that need protcting are the victims of these juvenile criminals. The public should know who they are just as we should know who the adults are so we can be extra watchful. I do not want a juvenile who has stolen from my neighbor in my home so they can steal from me. Their problems at home be damned dont commit a crime against me.

Are you serious.....? If

Are you serious.....? If so then you really need to take a little class in common sense. The state needs to protect the juveniles, as it appears if they are commiting these crimes as juveniles... those that should be protecting and caring for them are not so the state pics up where the family fails. Juveniles most certainly need to be protected and if done in the proper manner may never reoffend again!

I cannot understand why the

I cannot understand why the State of Maine or any other state, has to protect juveniles. This is really a law that needs to be changed. If the juvenile can commit the crime, he or she certainly is worthy of having his or her name in print, the same as an adult would have. All the states have protected ther bad boys and girls way too long.
