| parents Monday, April 25, 2011: 4:21 pm More from parents | I am glad to see that the judice system is working for the community,this will prevent any future youth from causing serious injuries to other children. |
| Forthepeople Monday, April 25, 2011: 4:29 pm More from Forthepeople | I am glad to see that he is going to be held accountable for his crimes, I also believe that his parents(or lack there of) should be tried for there deriliction of duties. While Mr. Phelps did commit an adult crime and deserves to pay the price for it, if he had not been failed by the people who brought him into this world our community would not be where it is today. There are to many people who fail to do what they should as parents, maybe if we also started holding them accountable people would think before they brought these kids into the world. |

| A Hoosier Monday, April 25, 2011: 5:14 pm More from A Hoosier | What is wrong with all of you. This is a 15 year old kid. So, you think this will prevent a kid from wanting to do harm to others, kids don't think about consequences before they act. This is so sad and a horrible reflection on all of us as a society. The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons. Fyodor Dostoevsky I pray as a society we find compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and justice. But I seriously doubt if we are ever going to be educated enough to seek these qualities. We prefer to be revengeful and seek extreme persecution. |

It should be the same for parents when it comes to their kids. Maybe then parents would care more about where they are, who they're with, what they're doing, and be more involved. |
| copeman Monday, April 25, 2011: 5:28 pm More from copeman | @ A Hoosier....NO I dont think it will stop other kids from doing this stuff. However it will stop this kid from harming anyone again. |
| Ratcatcher Monday, April 25, 2011: 5:28 pm More from Ratcatcher | I did not realize that he would've gone into adult court automatically if he had've waited just 2 more months to pull the trigger. I think the judge made the right decision. Phelps was no more a "kid" when he committed the crime than he would've been 60 days later. Whether he goes to adult prison or the juvenile system he will still come out worse than the day he went in. Both systems are broken and he isn't going to get any help. And when he gets out he will likely go back to the same family situation that failed him in the first place. |

| Liberty Monday, April 25, 2011: 6:39 pm More from Liberty | Our local school children heard or read about the hundreds of death threats made against our government leaders and their families by union teachers this year...... All just before our local children started acting out the same by making threats in their local schools and on shooting.......... Teachers have fare more reaching responsibility than most think for the actions of students who teach them.“Michael Phelps is undoubtedly a teenager raised in a destructive, substance-abuse-ridden, chaotic home with no significant and responsible parent in his life,” Burnham said in his findings. “He may well be, in part, a product of the destructive vacuum that was his home.” So instead of sending him to a proven youth rehabilitation ranch with a proven track record of reform the natural political thing for the Judge to do is have this boy rectum ripped apart daily for 20 years and make a monster so full of hate against all society for every stitch sewn he WILL come out of prison at 35 and kill and cause constant human payback destruction for the rest of his life. People who seek evil and sinful revenge cause everyone else to live in an environment of violent crime that they them self escalate by taking what revenge against young people instead of responsibility of protecting them from abuse. Decisions like this with these kinds of certain ramifications should be made by appointed judges who are removed from the politics of those with evil lynching hearts. So, the outcome? Ignore the real problems and examples forced on our community children and make monstrous revengeful criminals to finish us off with. Every PlayStation parent knows their child has been well trained about where the killing points on the human body are. The chest and the head, not the stomach so how could this be attempted murder. Yes, the boy wanted to cause pain but obviously didn't try to kill him because he knew how but didn't. Yes, the boy needs help, so why do we refuse to give it to him. We failed him by leaving him in the destructive environment, then gave him bad examples who threaten murder to follow and then when the result happens we just want to make him worst. I have zero respect for this. There is zero logic in it and it's puts all of us and our families in danger. Revenge is never worth it and always becomes the cornerstone of a bad decision. That's my opinion. . |
| Liberty Monday, April 25, 2011: 6:47 pm More from Liberty | In making my point I left out the word VOTERS. In no way do I thing the Judge has a evil or revengeful heart. He just has a tough job. "Decisions like this with these kinds of certain ramifications should be made by appointed judges who are removed from the politics of those with evil lynching heart VOTERS". |
