In modern society, people have established expectations and tolerance for the behavior of minors. However, when some minors commit heinous illegal acts, we can't help but reflect: has the Law on the Protection of Minors become a "talisman" for some minors to commit evil?
Nanjing, Jiangsu, a parking lot scene that should have been ordinary, but staged a terrifying and dangerous drama. A woman who parked her electric car in a communal carport was threatened with death by a man claiming to be a 16-year-old boy and his mother. The boy wielded sticks throughout the whole process, revealing his fierce appearance, spitting, smashing cars, and even insulting and threatening others: "Anyway, I am under the age of 16, and I can't be sentenced for murder!" Neighbors revealed that the cause was only the woman who parked in the public carport.
This 16-year-old boy has long lost the innocence and kindness that a minor should have. His actions are a reckless contempt and desecration of social morality and the rule of law. What is even more worrying is that he used his identity as a minor as a "murder talisman", and made wild remarks and misdeeds. It is no wonder that as soon as this matter was exposed, it immediately set off a heated discussion on the Internet, which made people shudder and heartbreaking.
Netizens couldn't sit still and commented:
Sadly, at such a young age, you know that murder is not punishable by death
It's terrible! This body is full of anger, who does the Law on the Protection of Minors protect?
At a young age, if he can commit a crime, he will be sentenced, and if he is not sentenced, it will become a reason for him to commit a crime
Juvenile crimes are not subject to the death penalty, and this has become a gold medal for crimes committed by juveniles
Looking back at juvenile crime incidents in recent years, such as the "murder case of a junior high school student" and the "case of a girlfriend's corpse" in Handan, isn't it also because some minors regard the Law on the Protection of Minors as a "talisman"? They are obsessed with the erroneous perception that "minors are innocent", indulge their arrogance, lack reverence for life, and lack respect for the law. This is a misinterpretation and misreading of the Law on the Protection of Minors, as well as a failure of social empathy education.
In the face of this phenomenon, we should be vigilant: the original intention of the Law on the Protection of Minors is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors, not to cover up their illegal acts; It is a "pass" to give proper care and affection to minors and others, not to do evil.
Those minors who have been misguided and bound by erroneous ideas should bear corresponding legal responsibility. At the same time, relevant departments, schools, and families should reflect on their dereliction of duty and responsibility in this regard.
From the legal level, increasing the punishment of juvenile violations and crimes, recording their misconduct, being open and transparent, affecting future employment, may make some juveniles feel scruples;
At the educational level, families and schools should strengthen moral education, cultivate children's sense of kindness, empathy, and the rule of law, and let them regard the Law on the Protection of Minors as a warm haven, rather than a "talisman" for evil.
From the social level, create a rational, healthy, and benevolent atmosphere, treat certain "excesses" of minors with more love and patience, resolve hatred with love, and alleviate antagonism with tolerance.
We have all been minors, and we have done some "excessive" things to a greater or lesser extent, but that is young and ignorant after all. The important thing is that on the road to growing up, we should be correctly guided and truly establish noble character and conscience. And once someone goes astray, it is even more important to pull them back to the right path in time to avoid falling into a deeper criminal quagmire.
The original intention of the law on the protection of minors is good, but if it is wantonly misinterpreted and abused by some people as a "talisman", then the meaning of its existence will be distorted and abandoned. It is hoped that through the joint efforts of all sectors of society, the Law on the Protection of Minors will return to its original intention, so that every child can grow up healthily under the nourishment of love, stay away from the misguided path of crime, and become the hope and pillar of the country and society.
