Criminal Kids ?! Over 20k cases in just 5 YEARS ?

A highly shocking amount of kids criminal cases have been reported lately and a over 20 000 cases have been reported within 5 years. Crimes from stabbings, murder and even rape committed from children as young as ten years old and some cases even younger. Is criminal activity from kids going to rise in the next 20 years ?

Detectives are investigating more offences by children than ever – with some suspects as young as five.

Freedom of Information figures from more than half of the police forces in Britain reveal kids too young for prosecution have been named as a suspect or offender in more than 20,000 crimes since 2012.

Police made enquiries into at least 390 rapes and more than 1,400 sex offences involving child suspects. This increasing number is shocking especially involving such young suspects.

It is said that such young children cannot be charged or prosecuted for these actions. Do you believe that there should be a serious punishment for these children?
