    Charging a 16-year-old won’t solve the problem if we don’t give him support after. We need proper rehabilitation programs, not just court cases

    Don’t arrest and charge the child. Arrest and charge the parents as well. This is getting out of hand

    Good move by the police. Set an example early so others will think twice before picking up weapon to solve problem

    this should also be a wake-up call for schools and parents to address youth conflict early.

    Sad to see school-age children getting into this kind of trouble. We really need more programs to teach conflict resolution not every disagreement have to end in fight
