We are students in a Just Theology class seeking to spread awareness on the subject of children being tried as adults and why this is such a big problem in our country. Children charged as adults are unfortunately more likely to commit suicide, be victims of sexual violence and youth of color are disproportionately affected. These children don't have the same rights as adults but are charged like them just the same. For more information visit: http://www.njjn.org/about-us/keep-youth-out-of-adult-prisons and https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/research-and-evaluation/publications/youth-crime
