  • @Deceptichum I had never heard of those people and had to google them. I... really don't want to deep dive into true crime right now so I don't hold an opinion on whether they can be sucessfuly rehabbed but the point I made elsewhere about child soldiers applies in general - it's a difficult area to deal with, but Western countries need to step up.

    My guiding principle here is that I believe human rights are inalienable.

    I'm arguing against the idea that there is anything a 15 year old can do that strips them of their human rights.
