Great content. A little extra information, there are some states that have special laws that allow minors to be tried as adults if they have committed heinous crimes. Unfortunately, there are cases where severely mentally disabled children are tried as adults and thrown in prison. So the harsher laws can be a double edge sword. Great video! Thank you again! 💜
Yes. In the first video of the boy who committed arson, I actually looked into it and he supposedly has autism and learning impairment. One of the reasons the police charged him was because he didn’t “attempt” to save his brother, and just stood there. I don’t know the full story but his parents are fighting to get his sentenced reduced. They’re saying he was not mentally capable of understanding or rescuing his brother.
It's also worth considering that American prisons don't rehabiliate. Guards abuse, torture and kill prisoners. Prisoners beat, extort and kill other prisoners. Rape is common. Almost anyone sent into an American prison comes out with less empathy and far more prone to violence and hate. The US has the highest rate and number of prisoners in the world and I think the daily headlines speak for themselves regarding how well they work. Last I checked the American rate of recidivism (how many released prisons go on to commit more crimes) is around 60%. The American system of justice regarding imprisonment is objectively ineffective and is not really something that should be admired. 10% of those executed in the United States are later found not to have been guilty of the crime.
@@nochannel1q2321 where are your statistics to back up that american guards regularly torture and kill prisoners....thats a pretty huge accusation to be throwing around
Just remembered that viral video of Korean 13 yr olds burning a classmate with a cigarette and punching them. And there was public outcry and they were like nothing to worry about we investigated and it was just friends playing around. Always makes me wonder if the low crime rate is partly bc so many crimes go unreported and unpunished
Yeah tell this to Japan worshippers. These societies are sick. I do think American law should at times show mercy. But American criminal psychology is different, and cultural differences as well also influence criminology.
The reason why official crime rates for a variety of crimes in Korea & Japan, from assault to rape, are low, is due to society (both positively and negatively), a ‘slap on the wrist’ attitude to many of these crimes, and the lack of reporting, investigation, and transparency. There was outrage a while back about a (huge for its kind) university sex club whose members serially raped many female students after intoxicating them with alcohol during parties, but despite the outrage, such clubs still exist today in many Japanese (and likely Korean) universities.
One of the things I HATED when growing up was when my parents would say "they're little they don't know any better". As a child under the age of 10 but above 3, I already KNEW what was ok and not ok. So when people use age as an excuse I call them out on it, kids can be evil too, regardless of upbringing.
That’s pretty self centered to be honest. Of course some kids know what they doing. But don’t compare your upbringing with others, people had different times. If you born in a bad neighborhood and poor there is a much higher chance to get involved in doing stupid shit and commit some sort of crime. It depends on the case, doesn’t it. If you murder someone that’s no excuse. But when a 8 year old steals something or hits another kid he shouldn’t be trialed as an adult
I agree to some extent, but your upbringing can not be an excuse of getting involved with unlawful situations. The decision to do such things is in the hands of the beholder. If you know that it can harm you and or others walk away. Break generation curses.
Asian countries seem to be slow. There criminal justice system seems either lacking or too much. Korean laws protects criminals more then the victim the most hated child molester is free because apparently taking alcohol while assaulting a child she was not even in the double digits gives you less responsibility for your actions. Plus US culture could not have Korean justice system. Because so many repeat offenders and a culture that at times praises violence over social harmony. Seems like Korean criminals after their slap on the wrist die down. American offender repeat the same crime over and over half get readmitted.
There was a case in S. Korea about 44 male students r*p3d.. a 14 year old girl (probably younger, not sure) repeatly, admitted to the crime and ALL of them got no punishment. Walked free.
That's all the guys she could identify. In total it was estimated that there were actually 120 people but obviously bcoz she couldn't recognise everyone, more than half didn't even get close to the case
unfortunately, a lot of r*pe is normalized in korea and not many get punished like they do here in united states (even though obviously we have cases too where no one does) korea is great but i do want to make clear especially if you're not korean, avoid late not partying etc. where it's most common because the law will NOT be on your side lif isn't a k-drama and there are a lot of repressed people there
It's sad that the justice system in Korea still doesn't understand that, not punishing the kids & letting them brag about it is so bad.... They don't get punished, no money was given to the victim & is brushed under the rug. Kids taking advantage of the fact that, " they won't punish us because we're kids."
@@brennathecatlover4360 Americans just brainless😢 cuz you know that you can easily go to prison for a looong time or even get shot by the officer they still trying to do weird shit
even if they gave money it's not enough, that's just letting rich kids pay their way out, they need mental health intervention and social re-education along with due punishment
@@stephaniegriffin7176 Even with heinous crrimes, if theyre below 14, they will either not be punished or itll be like a slap on the wrist. They made a korean netflix show recently specifically about how korean youth abuse the law to commit horrible crimes. it was a good show
@@Pyramanager I know that it's called Juvenile Justice. However, if teens here are caught stealing cigarettes and money they would most likely get a slap on the wrist or have probation or community service.
@@stephaniegriffin7176 probation, community service, or if they're repeat offenders then they'd get some time in juvie or a center (depending on mental health).
Juveniles can be tried as an adult depending on the severity of the crime. 1st degree murder is an automatic adult charge. Even a 10 year old was tried as an adult.
but in korea even they kill like younger kids or older they can get away or will be put in juvenile prison but in only get 2 yrs the juvenile prison is like your taking a vacation not like a prison
@@denisagolez5118 Korea is a beautiful country it really is but their law system is so fucked up the fact that they really just killed someone and got no prison or juvenile time is just so fucked up their law is basically teaching kids "Ok anyone under the age of 14 you can commit any crime you want and get away with it🙂" and all they get is a slap on the wrist and they get to walk home and be with their family another law i don't get of there's is when someone is drunk and they commit crime they get less prison time bcs they were intoxicated which makes no fucking sense like just bcs you were drunk while you commited the crime doesn't make you any less guilty and the fact that their letting these laws be passed is just something else they really nedda catch up bcs their law system is really lacking compared to us who live in america bcs i can tell you those boys who got away with killing someone if they had got charged over here they would have at least gotten 10 years and ppl would probably make petition to charge them as adults i bet you they would all be crying then
@@lixm_is.thebest5196 specially the other rich kids that are spoiled like the news b4 the crew attendant he or she gave a bag of peanuts to a passenger in 1st class whos father a ceo in some business that spoiled brat didnt even last long in jail she supposed be in jail like 1 yr but it got bailed and stuff she only jailed like 2 to 4 months
I agree, ChaCha, we need a mix of these disciplinary actions. The US over sentences youths in many places, and rarely offers rehabilitation programs just housing. (Prisons often make money here), and it seems there is no rehabilitation programs for youth offenders in SK. There was just an news article exposing a magistrate in Rutherford Tennessee that had been illegally imprisoning children for YEARS.
At the same time, US legal system has gone soft on crime with DAs dismissing case in the name of racial disparity. No matter the skin color, or the background, if you commit the crime, you should get punished accordingly.
@@ph00ny1 Thats also an issue though as different judges with biases decide what is "according". A person found guilty of ra*e can be sentenced to 3 years in one county and 30 in another, depending on the judge, jury, and possible biases for similar cases. There is a falsehood that DAs are being soft when it's actually many other factors that are affecting lawmaking etc. Although I know not all universities and professors are the same but when I majored in criminal justice 25 yrs ago, the blatant bias people did not see surprised me. but it always made discussions lively 😏
The fact that there is no punishment for those under 14 is ridiculous. Sure, you don't have to give them the same sentences as those who are older but there should at least be something done.
Honestly if you had to be punished in a country Korea is like probably the best as a korean. (Well not for the people around) but you can get away with doing a lot of stuff with minimal punishment compared to US. Especially a lot of cases in Korea get lighter or passed if you blame intoxication… while the US (most of the time) you’ll get even more trouble because you were the cause of your intoxication
There’s a manhwa that is about this situation in Korea and how kids act boldly but someone comes in to make sure they don’t get away with it. I found that series addicting to read cause it starts off with how bad the kids act to them understanding that they did wrong and get that rehabilitation and punishment
There was a shooting incident recently in the U.S. with 6 year old who brought a gun to school and shot their teacher. They are still trying to figure out how to handle this crime.
@@caratsillies simple. its america and kids get guns for christmas when they are 4. There is a huge market for weapons for kids with hello kitty prints on an AR-15. How to handle the case? i dunno how about banning fkn weapons from public use. 2nd ammendment is a god damn joke and written during a time where people had to reload 1 shot for 2 minutes on a gun with less accuracy than a blind darter.
@@caratsillies Sadly, it's true. Just look up '6 year old school shooter' and you'll find a bunch of articles about it. It's even worse once you find out that the kid did it on purpose.
@@miadavis4837 oh yeah I read some articles tbh the boy probably got hold of the gun because it wasn't secured and the parents be saying it was lol the parents are at fault
It depends on state to state and which judge they have also. I'd certainly want the kid who killed my child to get a lot more time than the one one who stole cigs. However, I think the laws that are in the US to be way too subjective at times.
On the topic of criminal juveniles, you should introduce something that has been happening across America for a while and has been revealed to be REALLY shady. I'm talking about a variety of "troubled teens" programs such as Synanon and Monarch, really interesting but also messed up stories have come out from the "troubled teens" that attended said programs.
America and Korea practices two different types of laws. Here in America we punish hard, in general, to take away the need for vengeance. Sentencing someone to 150 years in jail seems excessive but it’s for the victims families. Otherwise you can develop vigilantes
Why didn’t you show all of the heinous bullying/modern crimes in Korea? U show a. An accident, and kids stealing, compared to two American murder trials? How do those even compare
I have watched a South Korean programme where their is a panel of South Korean celebs and they are shown incidents and the host, who is a lawyer asks them (after the incident) what they thought the punishment of the offender was. It not only shocked me but also shocked the celebs as the sentencing for the crimes didn't add up to the crimes - especially hit and runs, multiple car accidents by one offender and especially where you could tell "payment of money" was made to lessen the sentence as the crime clearly didn't add up to the crime. That being said I personally think harsher penalities need to be made with the younger generation. In my country New Zealand crimes/murders committed by 14/15/16/17 year olds is at an all time high and punishment is lenient to the point where if it is your first time offence you aren't charged but fined (in most cases) so of course they go out and do it again and again and again because their is no real consequence for them. I have always stated my view as "If you have purposely killed someone then you pay with your life" Tougher laws and punishments need to be reestablished universally!
The law in Korea is an absolute joke. Always has been, always will be. There’s 3 types of sentencing structures in Korea: for the minors, for the rich, and for everyone else. Like America and other countries, the rich are the rich. They get away with crimes unless it’s just heinous and the media puts a spectacle on. The sentencing could be severe if found guilty but never to the level of the common person. In Korea, that doesn’t even matter. Sentencing will always be a joke. For minors, Korea doesn’t even punish them at all. And for everyone else, Korea will find them guilty but serve like 1-5 years for crimes that other countries would sentence 10-25 for. It’s an absolute disgrace that the citizens allow this to continue. In order, if Korea would ever break up the conglomerates that run the country, then maybe they can start toughening up the law at some point thereafter. Otherwise, this will continue on.
You even have a former prosecutor who is now the President. You think that clown is ever gonna do anything about toughening the law? No. He’ll just continue being subservient to the chaebol system as every president before him. Plus, I’m sure similar to previous presidents, we’ll hear of some ridiculous illegal activity he committed during or after his presidency has concluded. That’s like a badge of honor of S Korea presidents. You have to commit a white collar crime while you are in office.
I do not know Korean law so I am speaking only on what I have seen in this video. 1. It would seem that the law allows a way that Criminal Organizations can recruit gangs of children from poorer neighborhoods with very little risk to themselves. All they have to do is be enticing to the wants or needs of a child. "Hey, you like all the fun toys and clothes your friends have? I know a way you can get those" and "If you tell anyone about us we will harm your family" 2. Poor families could use it as well to send their own children out because they know their child will not get into any trouble and they can threaten them with punishment if they tell anyone. In some cases it could even be the parents that set their kid up with the organizations in exchange for a cut of what is stolen. A young child in most cases cannot even discern between wants and needs. all they know is desires or what their parents tell them to do. Especially in countries where parents are strictly to be obeyed. The law to me neds a way to entice or a child the other direction. Offering them rewards if they tell on those that are using them. Now, if it is an organization, I am not stupid. I know the repercussions of telling on them which is why I feel there should be funding available to move and rehouse the families and a reward amount to help them start over in a new place. Funding would be given via a request from law enforcement to the government explaining that the family needs protection from large organizations. The scare option would be to pretend like the organization lied to them and that they face being put in prison with the only way out being to tell on who is sending them out to do crimes. As above, there should be a family rehousing far from the area. Keep in mind that these ideas are off the top of my head and only meant as outlines, obviously there needs to be more intense discussion and fleshing out of the ideas.
He's definitely right about teenagers knowing a lot. If there's drama in school or just etc information we want to know, we will research and try to get that information. It's better to tell straight up what the situation is then to hide it from us, it becomes much worse, spread, and rumors are made. Those this isn't really about crime but teens know more they people give credit for.
I know this was about the US vs Kr but a good case for lower criminal ages in the Uk is the James Bulger case where two 10 year old boys stole, tortured and killed a 2 year old
Teenagers should be punished according to the crime they committed and not according to their age. It's absurd that they have a free pass in life to commit as many crimes as they want before they're adults and given ridiculous sentences that are nothing more than a pat on the hand and a wish for a good adult life. As much as they are not adults, they know what is right and what is wrong. If they decide to take someone's life, let them be judged as adults and not as teenagers who, I don't know, stole a candy in a candy store. I always get angry when I see these young people committing the most absurd crimes and not receiving any real punishment for it. No wonder these cases keep repeating themselves, they know they won't be punished. From the little news I've seen about Korea, you have a judicial system that doesn't seem to want to properly punish criminals. Except in cases of celebrities who use drugs. Then everything is taken much more seriously than it should be. Serious crimes can get lesser sentences, but celebrities using drugs? Lock them in prisons and throw away the key!
@@zokora3656 this is pretty f***ed up, honestly. real crimes that destroy many lives are not punished while people who are only harming themselves are punished more severely. i saw countries like japan and south korea as something out of utopia because they seemed perfect but the more i learn about their "justice" system the more disappointed i become. it's just screwed up countries like the others with prettier makeup. safer than many other countries, but still "normal" like everyone else and not heaven on earth.
@@gsaouzs You should lose that childlike utopia fantasy asap ngl. About any country. No country/government/justice system is flawless and perfect, it's often depending on the long term culture aswell. The thing with Japan especially is that people hide their self in public but often live it out to the extreme in their private time
@@zokora3656 first, it's not childlike, I'm not a child. I believed in the make-up these countries put on to mask the crap that happens there. it was not common in my country to consume content about these places, I only received positive information and I believed them. it can happen to anyone. the world sucks, I get it but don't think you can just deduce that I live in a fantasy world just from a comment.
@@gsaouzs I didn't deduce that. You might have misunderstood me here sorry for that. Childlike utopia fantasies are normal, nearly everyone has them about a place for example Japan. Alot of people feel the same you do. I didnt intent to say you are a child or you think like a child. It was just imo the easiest way to describe how one thinks about those places
We’ve had Korean exchange students at our school, as well as Japanese and Chinese, each year. The Korean students, in general, had very poor behavior and were very disrespectful. These were students in 5th-8th grade. Often, we had to send one or two back due to extreme poor behavior. Meanwhile, students who came from both China and Japan were wonderful to have as guests at our school. This explains a lot.
This might be the silliest thing but I learned about Koreas law with minors from the WEBTOON get school the episode around that issue was that the characters did everything they could evil before they aged out and I was pulling my hair out at the WEBTOON imagine being a person in Korea and a minor does something and they get talking too and sent house how rage would build up in me And that 25 years was delivered smoothly the boy tried to play people he wasn’t sorry at all what a sick kid
To be fair to the boy. Its very likely he did feel bad/sorry about it, however talking like that is a defense mechanism especially kids/teens use to toughen up oneself even if its just for them emotionally. sweeping it under the rug and pretending it aint that bad. You see that shit everyday with kids/teens. However mighty stupid to say that when people can listen to wtf u sayin besides the people supposed to hear it. I dont know the case btw and dont know what exactly went on. What i said before is generalizing the behaviour.
When I was a kid, the legal system was very much like Korea. I knew kids that took advantage of the system, since at 16 any juvenile charges were either wiped clean or a judge would seal your juvenile record. It never followed you into adult life. Very rare, where I lived anyway, for kids to committ murder. But that started changing here in Canada in the mid to late 1970's. Laws changed not long after and kids would be raised to adult court for severe crimes. They still reside in a juvenile detention center until 18 years old, but finish their sentence in adult prison. I'm sure a lot of things are taken into consideration, including psychological/psychiatric issues, abuse by parents etc. before charging kids as adults.
crazyyy, someone could do some clearly illegal shit and then the punishment is 'don't do that again, okay? naughty naughty!' Just last month I think it was a 12 year old girl was .... by an old man and he got away with it because apparently the girl didn't want to press charges, allegedly the parents got paid off and I guess they convinced their kid to forget about it, I hope they use that money for all the trauma and psychological treatment she'll need as a result of the pain and regret she'll feel even though I doubt they'll even consider her mental health later since they clearly never did.
When kids are sentenced that long they do in some states I’m not sure about all of them, have the opportunity to appeal when they are 18 or after the minimum is served. As someone also mentioned depending am they crime they can be tried as adults however they still get the chance for appeal where as adults for those same crimes do not get the chance to appeal.
Punishment rarely works, hence the large amount of recidivism that we have in the US. Rehabilitation is what is needed. That someone isn't punished or given any consequences due to age just boggles my mind. Those kids that killed the guy should have been paying to that family that lost their son for the rest of their lives.
The thing is what about people that follow the law? They knew of the consequence but still committed the act. That was a choice. It’s not a mental illness or due to trauma the person was fully capable of doing the right thing but choose not to.
In Any country the parents should be held accountable up to a certain age. I know in Korea they know how to be real parents but here in the states the parents hold no responsibility for their children's actions at any age.
The juvenile cases is a revolving door for some here in the U.S. The parents need to take responsibility for their children's actions by being a responsible parent and being fined in certain instances. My opinion is the system lives in the past and needs to be changed.
It's great that this video brings awareness, but the people of the Korea have to petition their government for harsher sentences. Also, people should stop saying they feel safe in Korea and that there's no crime/no theft. This video proves otherwise. There's no gun violence and police brutality but there is crime. Korea is not an Disney storybook. There is crime everywhere.
I know a lot of adults also would encourage children do do crimes ‘cuz they won’t get in trouble cuz of age’ at least in America they made sure to adjust for that kinda of thing
In my state in the US, we have laws against "Contributing to the delinquency of a minor" to combat this behavior. It is a criminal offense with varying penalties based on what the child is encouraged to do and actually does - a relatively minor misdemeanor charge if the child's crime is minor, like shoplifting. But if a first-degree murder is committed because of this, it's basically treated the same as first-degree murder by both individuals. This really keeps a check on such issues, as long as it can be proven in court.
I think everyone missed the point though. The crime rate per capita of juvenile offenders in the US is much higher than South Korea. The US has harsher punishments, obviously it’s not a deterrent to youth crime. Harsher punishment alone isn’t the answer
you kind of forget the fact that america is a semi third world country with the direction it is going, filled with slums and drugs addicts, while korea is rising to a T1 country. American shootings are a normal thursday, because of gangs, im gonna be racistor anything at all, white people make up gangs too. Im just saying korea doesnt think having a gang is cool and stuff, while you have streamers like adin begging on his knees to include him in a gang.
I don't get why S.Korea doesn't just change their laws surrounding minors?! Multiple k movies/series have discussed the severe injustice the law system serves; even the Korean public are against these laws. It's so stupid and completely useless to keep them in place. it literally excuses horrific crimes under the premise that someone is 'too young'.
It can be a good and bad thing. There's been cases of elementary school kids being tried as adults which I really don't see as reasonable but I don't think anyone should be not punished at all unless it was very clearly accidental
It would have been interesting to include cases from both countries involving minors under 14 and compare sentences, since in Korea, children aren't punishable by law, even if they kill someone. Very interesting video! It's a good wake up call to those who want to move to Korea because kpop romanticizes the country to be like a "better" America.
@@zokora3656 lol why? Don't let the media overhype the gun thing, and certainly never let the media tell you how to think and feel about America. What you hear on the news does not represent us. Not everyone has a gun. In fact, a lot of liberals here in the US fear them, don't own them, and push for policies to try to make it harder for other people to get them. The biggest thing you can do to feel safe in America is to steer clear of big cities. Big cities = big crime. Plus, politicians don't do a very good job with keeping felons under lock and key if they assault people. They let them go so they can hurt more people. It happens often in big cities, so when visiting, try to avoid big cities if you can. Plus, some neighborhoods are safer than others. Avoid downtown areas. Also, in America, I feel safer knowing that people have guns because I know that someone who is carrying can put down a threat very quickly. Sometimes I consider getting a gun for safety. Criminals will always have a weapon, so don't ever let yourself be defenseless if you can help it. That's how a lot of us think (at least us conservatives).
I think one thing that they should also be made aware of is that juvenile records are usually sealed, and can't be used against you as an adult. (With exceptions) So yes, the kids are punished, but if they follow the system, when they become adults, they basically get a fresh start.
Please react to CHARLIE CHEON: WHAT ARE WE DOING TO WHITE PEOPLE? He's an ASIAN MAN in USA TRYING to show what is REALLY going on. He's also got another video where black lives SILENCE asians in USA if they even speak up. I pray you REACT to those two videos. It's a MUST AND NEED. ALL RACES are dying by ONE RACE. Sadly.
long prison sentences don't make sense and are one of the biggest faults of the american justice system. prison doesn't even pretend to focus on rehabilitation and is more about punishment and justice. it sickens me as an american personally. i would like to see a system like norway's put in place.
It’s kinda really sad seeing them being so surprised over some of the lighter sentences. 15 years for arson that killed your kid brother? Nah man. That’s light.
If you do not have a place to put them for the length of the sentence, what can you do. There are states in the U.S. that have lesser sentences because the prison space may be limited. if countries have very limited space for criminals, how can they have long sentences. If states in the U.S. does not have space, the criminal is jailed in another state and that state is reimbursed for the time the criminal is jailed there.
Law is supposed to be imposed to punish criminals. Its baffling how Korea protects criminals, hence why Bullying is not taken seriously during their youth and not when all is done, before we take action. Age does not excuse crime.
The idea was good, but the crimes shown were not. Murder for America, petty crime like stealing for Korea. To have a good comparative, the crimes need to be similar. It's disgusting that kids under 14 get no punishment whatsoever. They know right from wrong, and I'm sure a number of them commit the crimes easily knowing they wouldn't get punished for them. Though I agree with what one of the girls said at the end, about there needing to be a middle ground between punishment and rehabilitation. Even though teens know right from wrong, they're still not adults, and shouldn't be treated exactly the same as adults.
What’s sad is that the 17 set a fire but it’s up for debate if he intentionally tried to kill his baby brother. One hand the boy is only serving 15 years for killing a baby, on the other it’s manslaughter and he has to live with his brothers death on his hands.
The only good thing that came out of s.korea's overly lenient juvenile law is that Park Saeroyi was able to turn his life around after returning to society. Seriously tho, not everyone in juvy is a Park Saeroyi. A number of them pricks need to be tried and prosecuted as adults
Yeah, the case in beginning was just sad because the son actually is on the side of the autism spectrum where he needs literal supervision and his parents left him alone with the baby. They seriously should have gotten a babysitter for both of them because it happened due to the parents own neglect
it’s important to acknowledge that in america because of racial injustices, trying children as adults is abused and unequal based on race. Certain (white, rich) children do just go home with little to no punishment. this in hand contributes to a much larger pot of issues. while i don’t agree korean teenagers should be receiving a slap on the wrist for murder, i don’t think the United States is the place to look for exemplary sentencing. Our justice system is heinously flawed and it is very rare we see real justice as a result.
the 17 year old, jacob morgan who burned down the house said he loved his bro and his bro dying felt like a piece of him dying. jacob also had several mental illnesses and severe autism but the court didnt care. he dosent understand cause and effect or the ability to reason as his mom said thats why he was shocked and crying. lucky he was freed after 7 years. i always tear up hearing his story poor jacob 😭😭😭😭😭😭
If you commit a seven deadly in the US that's almost an instant life in prison and depending on severity and nature with or without parole and it don't matter if you're a minor. I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly so don't quote me on it. I do think Korea needs to be a little harsher on juveniles and offer rehabilitation programs bc this isn't going to be solved with just a slap on the wrist to the offenders and then not be punished. Like what about the victims in a lot of these cases? They don't get justice with the leniency that's in place currently
I like watching these videos, but it's hard to hear what judges say when the commenters are talking. Can you add subtitles for what the judges are saying when the commentators are talking?
its not all the same in the u.s. if u come from a rich family, u wont be punished. also, u only showed the ones where someone died. if they break into a business and steal their stuff, they wont get punished either.
Great video but imo a little misleading. On the Korean side we have theft, gta and robbery. On the US side we have murder. I would have liked it way more if the crimes were comparable in both age of the culprit and the crime itself/severity of the crime. I think that would have brought up a more suitable discussion about what kind of punishment should be considered since what i got from the video is that in Korea if you are below the age of 14 you are pretty much free to go and beyond 14 its up to 15 years. Considering the crimes that were shown for the US system this just doesnt sit right with me as i can imagine that those 2 teenagers (who were both above 14) would have received the same or similar punishment in Korea (15 years).
14 to 17 yrs old they already know what is wrong and what is right they are not children anymore that is why they call teens means they will became in the stage of adulthood but they have a brain of a person knows what they are doing
i mean look at LA and NYC and chicago and they aint even punish adults. like one dude stole a car in chicago and led police on a high speed pursuit, but he did it for too long and ended up getting arrested in the neighboring county and was sentenced to 18 years when he would have been let out on bond for like 2500 dollars in chicago because in the US big cities have weak prosecutors who are soft on crime
they should totally react to America’s worst serial killers. serial killers as in Ted bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, Jack the Ripper, Harold Shipman, John Wayne Gacy, H.H. Holmes, Pedro Lopez. or the ones that got the death sentence. Jeffery Dahmer i would count as a Death sentenced prisoner even if he only got 99 years.

The worst of them are still a joke compared to mengele. hell you could fuse all of those serial killer into one ultimate serial killer and mengele would still just chuckle. that dude was a real menace. for the faint hearted i wouldnt recommend looking into his experiments on twins especially or how much fun he had treating little jewish kids like his own until he got bored and did things to them the least of us could imagine.
The sk kids would be found unalive in a river if they had to go to jail for 15 years ☠️ that is like a significant chunk of your life you threw away for something stupid.
It’s 2024 but the case about the 17 year old I heard he has autism and his dad didn’t love him I think and burned the house down and blamed it on him so I think he’s out of jail now

Great content. A little extra information, there are some states that have special laws that allow minors to be tried as adults if they have committed heinous crimes. Unfortunately, there are cases where severely mentally disabled children are tried as adults and thrown in prison. So the harsher laws can be a double edge sword.
Great video! Thank you again! 💜
Yes. In the first video of the boy who committed arson, I actually looked into it and he supposedly has autism and learning impairment. One of the reasons the police charged him was because he didn’t “attempt” to save his brother, and just stood there. I don’t know the full story but his parents are fighting to get his sentenced reduced. They’re saying he was not mentally capable of understanding or rescuing his brother.
It's also worth considering that American prisons don't rehabiliate. Guards abuse, torture and kill prisoners. Prisoners beat, extort and kill other prisoners. Rape is common. Almost anyone sent into an American prison comes out with less empathy and far more prone to violence and hate.
The US has the highest rate and number of prisoners in the world and I think the daily headlines speak for themselves regarding how well they work. Last I checked the American rate of recidivism (how many released prisons go on to commit more crimes) is around 60%. The American system of justice regarding imprisonment is objectively ineffective and is not really something that should be admired.
10% of those executed in the United States are later found not to have been guilty of the crime.
@@nochannel1q2321 where are your statistics to back up that american guards regularly torture and kill prisoners....thats a pretty huge accusation to be throwing around
@@nochannel1q2321 did u get that from movies lol ik for a fact rape isn't that common
@@zionnichols7710 No, from reports from groups that study such things and reports from the Department of Justice.
Just remembered that viral video of Korean 13 yr olds burning a classmate with a cigarette and punching them. And there was public outcry and they were like nothing to worry about we investigated and it was just friends playing around. Always makes me wonder if the low crime rate is partly bc so many crimes go unreported and unpunished
Yeah tell this to Japan worshippers. These societies are sick. I do think American law should at times show mercy. But American criminal psychology is different, and cultural differences as well also influence criminology.
That's exactly it.
yep. it's the same thing with japan apparently.
Yep you hit the nail right on the head thingy
The reason why official crime rates for a variety of crimes in Korea & Japan, from assault to rape, are low, is due to society (both positively and negatively), a ‘slap on the wrist’ attitude to many of these crimes, and the lack of reporting, investigation, and transparency. There was outrage a while back about a (huge for its kind) university sex club whose members serially raped many female students after intoxicating them with alcohol during parties, but despite the outrage, such clubs still exist today in many Japanese (and likely Korean) universities.
One of the things I HATED when growing up was when my parents would say "they're little they don't know any better". As a child under the age of 10 but above 3, I already KNEW what was ok and not ok. So when people use age as an excuse I call them out on it, kids can be evil too, regardless of upbringing.
Couldn’t agree with you more 👌🏼👌🏼
That’s pretty self centered to be honest.
Of course some kids know what they doing.
But don’t compare your upbringing with others, people had different times. If you born in a bad neighborhood and poor there is a much higher chance to get involved in doing stupid shit and commit some sort of crime.
It depends on the case, doesn’t it.
If you murder someone that’s no excuse. But when a 8 year old steals something or hits another kid he shouldn’t be trialed as an adult
I agree to some extent, but your upbringing can not be an excuse of getting involved with unlawful situations.
The decision to do such things is in the hands of the beholder. If you know that it can harm you and or others walk away. Break generation curses.
its crazy to me that teens in korea can pretty much not get punished for their wrongdoings compared to in america
Asian countries seem to be slow. There criminal justice system seems either lacking or too much. Korean laws protects criminals more then the victim the most hated child molester is free because apparently taking alcohol while assaulting a child she was not even in the double digits gives you less responsibility for your actions. Plus US culture could not have Korean justice system. Because so many repeat offenders and a culture that at times praises violence over social harmony. Seems like Korean criminals after their slap on the wrist die down. American offender repeat the same crime over and over half get readmitted.

It's sad that the justice system in Korea still doesn't understand that, not punishing the kids & letting them brag about it is so bad....
They don't get punished, no money was given to the victim & is brushed under the rug. Kids taking advantage of the fact that, " they won't punish us because we're kids."
And it literally became plot of novels and manhwa.
Alot of places are like that... like the uk for example they get release the day they turn 18 and given immunity and a new name and id. ...

Agreed murder is significantly worse than stealing cigarettes and money.
I was just about to write this. It wasn't a fair comparison
@@stephaniegriffin7176 Even with heinous crrimes, if theyre below 14, they will either not be punished or itll be like a slap on the wrist. They made a korean netflix show recently specifically about how korean youth abuse the law to commit horrible crimes. it was a good show
@@Pyramanager I know that it's called Juvenile Justice. However, if teens here are caught stealing cigarettes and money they would most likely get a slap on the wrist or have probation or community service.
@@stephaniegriffin7176 probation, community service, or if they're repeat offenders then they'd get some time in juvie or a center (depending on mental health).
Juveniles can be tried as an adult depending on the severity of the crime. 1st degree murder is an automatic adult charge. Even a 10 year old was tried as an adult.
but in korea even they kill like younger kids or older they can get away or will be put in juvenile prison but in only get 2 yrs
the juvenile prison is like your taking a vacation not like a prison
@@denisagolez5118 Korea is a beautiful country it really is but their law system is so fucked up the fact that they really just killed someone and got no prison or juvenile time is just so fucked up their law is basically teaching kids "Ok anyone under the age of 14 you can commit any crime you want and get away with it🙂" and all they get is a slap on the wrist and they get to walk home and be with their family another law i don't get of there's is when someone is drunk and they commit crime they get less prison time bcs they were intoxicated which makes no fucking sense like just bcs you were drunk while you commited the crime doesn't make you any less guilty and the fact that their letting these laws be passed is just something else they really nedda catch up bcs their law system is really lacking compared to us who live in america bcs i can tell you those boys who got away with killing someone if they had got charged over here they would have at least gotten 10 years and ppl would probably make petition to charge them as adults i bet you they would all be crying then

I agree, ChaCha, we need a mix of these disciplinary actions. The US over sentences youths in many places, and rarely offers rehabilitation programs just housing. (Prisons often make money here), and it seems there is no rehabilitation programs for youth offenders in SK. There was just an news article exposing a magistrate in Rutherford Tennessee that had been illegally imprisoning children for YEARS.
I agree. Feels like we need a mix of reform and rehab programs that work with punishment
At the same time, US legal system has gone soft on crime with DAs dismissing case in the name of racial disparity. No matter the skin color, or the background, if you commit the crime, you should get punished accordingly.
@@ph00ny1 Thats also an issue though as different judges with biases decide what is "according". A person found guilty of ra*e can be sentenced to 3 years in one county and 30 in another, depending on the judge, jury, and possible biases for similar cases. There is a falsehood that DAs are being soft when it's actually many other factors that are affecting lawmaking etc. Although I know not all universities and professors are the same but when I majored in criminal justice 25 yrs ago, the blatant bias people did not see surprised me. but it always made discussions lively 😏
The fact that there is no punishment for those under 14 is ridiculous. Sure, you don't have to give them the same sentences as those who are older but there should at least be something done.
Parents should be punished if they are committing crimes that young tbh. Something's wrong at home
Honestly if you had to be punished in a country Korea is like probably the best as a korean. (Well not for the people around) but you can get away with doing a lot of stuff with minimal punishment compared to US. Especially a lot of cases in Korea get lighter or passed if you blame intoxication… while the US (most of the time) you’ll get even more trouble because you were the cause of your intoxication
Oh and because of privacy even if you do get punished for crime no one has now because on the news they’ll cover your face and name
There’s a manhwa that is about this situation in Korea and how kids act boldly but someone comes in to make sure they don’t get away with it.

It depends on state to state and which judge they have also. I'd certainly want the kid who killed my child to get a lot more time than the one one who stole cigs. However, I think the laws that are in the US to be way too subjective at times.
From what I understand, juveniles do get lesser sentences for crimes in America, but they can be tried as an adult in severe cases.
On the topic of criminal juveniles, you should introduce something that has been happening across America for a while and has been revealed to be REALLY shady. I'm talking about a variety of "troubled teens" programs such as Synanon and Monarch, really interesting but also messed up stories have come out from the "troubled teens" that attended said programs.
America and Korea practices two different types of laws. Here in America we punish hard, in general, to take away the need for vengeance. Sentencing someone to 150 years in jail seems excessive but it’s for the victims families. Otherwise you can develop vigilantes
i really love Kdrama like Juvenile Justice and The Devil Judge..the punishments are so great
Why didn’t you show all of the heinous bullying/modern crimes in Korea? U show a. An accident, and kids stealing, compared to two American murder trials? How do those even compare

I have watched a South Korean programme where their is a panel of South Korean celebs and they are shown incidents and the host, who is a lawyer asks them (after the incident) what they thought the punishment of the offender was. It not only shocked me but also shocked the celebs as the sentencing for the crimes didn't add up to the crimes - especially hit and runs, multiple car accidents by one offender and especially where you could tell "payment of money" was made to lessen the sentence as the crime clearly didn't add up to the crime. That being said I personally think harsher penalities need to be made with the younger generation. In my country New Zealand crimes/murders committed by 14/15/16/17 year olds is at an all time high and punishment is lenient to the point where if it is your first time offence you aren't charged but fined (in most cases) so of course they go out and do it again and again and again because their is no real consequence for them. I have always stated my view as "If you have purposely killed someone then you pay with your life" Tougher laws and punishments need to be reestablished universally!
The law in Korea is an absolute joke. Always has been, always will be. There’s 3 types of sentencing structures in Korea: for the minors, for the rich, and for everyone else. Like America and other countries, the rich are the rich. They get away with crimes unless it’s just heinous and the media puts a spectacle on. The sentencing could be severe if found guilty but never to the level of the common person. In Korea, that doesn’t even matter. Sentencing will always be a joke. For minors, Korea doesn’t even punish them at all. And for everyone else, Korea will find them guilty but serve like 1-5 years for crimes that other countries would sentence 10-25 for.
It’s an absolute disgrace that the citizens allow this to continue. In order, if Korea would ever break up the conglomerates that run the country, then maybe they can start toughening up the law at some point thereafter. Otherwise, this will continue on.
You even have a former prosecutor who is now the President. You think that clown is ever gonna do anything about toughening the law? No. He’ll just continue being subservient to the chaebol system as every president before him. Plus, I’m sure similar to previous presidents, we’ll hear of some ridiculous illegal activity he committed during or after his presidency has concluded. That’s like a badge of honor of S Korea presidents. You have to commit a white collar crime while you are in office.
I need more of this honestly
Some very young kids in America have life with no parole they will never be released .
Generally for first-degree murder.
I do not know Korean law so I am speaking only on what I have seen in this video.
1. It would seem that the law allows a way that Criminal Organizations can recruit gangs of children from poorer neighborhoods with very little risk to themselves. All they have to do is be enticing to the wants or needs of a child. "Hey, you like all the fun toys and clothes your friends have? I know a way you can get those" and "If you tell anyone about us we will harm your family"
2. Poor families could use it as well to send their own children out because they know their child will not get into any trouble and they can threaten them with punishment if they tell anyone. In some cases it could even be the parents that set their kid up with the organizations in exchange for a cut of what is stolen.
A young child in most cases cannot even discern between wants and needs. all they know is desires or what their parents tell them to do. Especially in countries where parents are strictly to be obeyed.
The law to me neds a way to entice or a child the other direction. Offering them rewards if they tell on those that are using them. Now, if it is an organization, I am not stupid. I know the repercussions of telling on them which is why I feel there should be funding available to move and rehouse the families and a reward amount to help them start over in a new place. Funding would be given via a request from law enforcement to the government explaining that the family needs protection from large organizations.
The scare option would be to pretend like the organization lied to them and that they face being put in prison with the only way out being to tell on who is sending them out to do crimes. As above, there should be a family rehousing far from the area.
Keep in mind that these ideas are off the top of my head and only meant as outlines, obviously there needs to be more intense discussion and fleshing out of the ideas.
the man with the glasses reminds me of a korean actor who plays a policeman
A teen doing robbery may be held in a youth center but a teen that murders should be punished as an adult
He's definitely right about teenagers knowing a lot. If there's drama in school or just etc information we want to know, we will research and try to get that information. It's better to tell straight up what the situation is then to hide it from us, it becomes much worse, spread, and rumors are made. Those this isn't really about crime but teens know more they people give credit for.
I know this was about the US vs Kr but a good case for lower criminal ages in the Uk is the James Bulger case where two 10 year old boys stole, tortured and killed a 2 year old
I kind want another comparison video of similar crimes and punishments.
Teenagers should be punished according to the crime they committed and not according to their age. It's absurd that they have a free pass in life to commit as many crimes as they want before they're adults and given ridiculous sentences that are nothing more than a pat on the hand and a wish for a good adult life. As much as they are not adults, they know what is right and what is wrong.
If they decide to take someone's life, let them be judged as adults and not as teenagers who, I don't know, stole a candy in a candy store. I always get angry when I see these young people committing the most absurd crimes and not receiving any real punishment for it. No wonder these cases keep repeating themselves, they know they won't be punished.
From the little news I've seen about Korea, you have a judicial system that doesn't seem to want to properly punish criminals. Except in cases of celebrities who use drugs. Then everything is taken much more seriously than it should be. Serious crimes can get lesser sentences, but celebrities using drugs? Lock them in prisons and throw away the key!
Well tbf alot of Asian countries have a very weird and extreme look on drugs but alcoholism is thriving (looking at you japan)
@@zokora3656 this is pretty f***ed up, honestly. real crimes that destroy many lives are not punished while people who are only harming themselves are punished more severely. i saw countries like japan and south korea as something out of utopia because they seemed perfect but the more i learn about their "justice" system the more disappointed i become. it's just screwed up countries like the others with prettier makeup. safer than many other countries, but still "normal" like everyone else and not heaven on earth.

We’ve had Korean exchange students at our school, as well as Japanese and Chinese, each year. The Korean students, in general, had very poor behavior and were very disrespectful. These were students in 5th-8th grade. Often, we had to send one or two back due to extreme poor behavior. Meanwhile, students who came from both China and Japan were wonderful to have as guests at our school. This explains a lot.
This might be the silliest thing but I learned about Koreas law with minors from the WEBTOON get school the episode around that issue was that the characters did everything they could evil before they aged out and I was pulling my hair out at the WEBTOON imagine being a person in Korea and a minor does something and they get talking too and sent house how rage would build up in me
And that 25 years was delivered smoothly the boy tried to play people he wasn’t sorry at all what a sick kid
To be fair to the boy. Its very likely he did feel bad/sorry about it, however talking like that is a defense mechanism especially kids/teens use to toughen up oneself even if its just for them emotionally. sweeping it under the rug and pretending it aint that bad. You see that shit everyday with kids/teens. However mighty stupid to say that when people can listen to wtf u sayin besides the people supposed to hear it. I dont know the case btw and dont know what exactly went on. What i said before is generalizing the behaviour.
When I was a kid, the legal system was very much like Korea. I knew kids that took advantage of the system, since at 16 any juvenile charges were either wiped clean or a judge would seal your juvenile record. It never followed you into adult life. Very rare, where I lived anyway, for kids to committ murder. But that started changing here in Canada in the mid to late 1970's. Laws changed not long after and kids would be raised to adult court for severe crimes. They still reside in a juvenile detention center until 18 years old, but finish their sentence in adult prison.
I'm sure a lot of things are taken into consideration, including psychological/psychiatric issues, abuse by parents etc. before charging kids as adults.
crazyyy, someone could do some clearly illegal shit and then the punishment is 'don't do that again, okay? naughty naughty!'
Just last month I think it was a 12 year old girl was .... by an old man and he got away with it because apparently the girl didn't want to press charges, allegedly the parents got paid off and I guess they convinced their kid to forget about it,
I hope they use that money for all the trauma and psychological treatment she'll need as a result of the pain and regret she'll feel even though I doubt they'll even consider her mental health later since they clearly never did.
When kids are sentenced that long they do in some states I’m not sure about all of them, have the opportunity to appeal when they are 18 or after the minimum is served. As someone also mentioned depending am they crime they can be tried as adults however they still get the chance for appeal where as adults for those same crimes do not get the chance to appeal.
In America a lot of the states charge minors as adults
Couldn't they at least have the korean youths at least do community service. Sending them home without doing anything seems very problematic
Punishment rarely works, hence the large amount of recidivism that we have in the US. Rehabilitation is what is needed. That someone isn't punished or given any consequences due to age just boggles my mind. Those kids that killed the guy should have been paying to that family that lost their son for the rest of their lives.
The thing is what about people that follow the law? They knew of the consequence but still committed the act. That was a choice. It’s not a mental illness or due to trauma the person was fully capable of doing the right thing but choose not to.
In Any country the parents should be held accountable up to a certain age. I know in Korea they know how to be real parents but here in the states the parents hold no responsibility for their children's actions at any age.
The thing is, Korean Law makes the criminal. The kids know they cannot be punished, so they just enjoy doing crimes.
The juvenile cases is a revolving door for some here in the U.S. The parents need to take responsibility for their children's actions by being a responsible parent and being fined in certain instances. My opinion is the system lives in the past and needs to be changed.
I remember in some videos. When the judge raising the senteces for a spoil girl whom misbehave in court and in front of judge.
It's great that this video brings awareness, but the people of the Korea have to petition their government for harsher sentences.
Also, people should stop saying they feel safe in Korea and that there's no crime/no theft. This video proves otherwise. There's no gun violence and police brutality but there is crime. Korea is not an Disney storybook. There is crime everywhere.
I know a lot of adults also would encourage children do do crimes ‘cuz they won’t get in trouble cuz of age’ at least in America they made sure to adjust for that kinda of thing
In my state in the US, we have laws against "Contributing to the delinquency of a minor" to combat this behavior. It is a criminal offense with varying penalties based on what the child is encouraged to do and actually does - a relatively minor misdemeanor charge if the child's crime is minor, like shoplifting. But if a first-degree murder is committed because of this, it's basically treated the same as first-degree murder by both individuals. This really keeps a check on such issues, as long as it can be proven in court.
the fact korea still exist with this lenient of a law baffles me
ChaCha was getting worked up. Nearly took out Choi with her elbow. :)
This explains how so many Manhwa plotlines exist
They aren't crying because they regret it. They are crying because they got caught.
I think everyone missed the point though. The crime rate per capita of juvenile offenders in the US is much higher than South Korea. The US has harsher punishments, obviously it’s not a deterrent to youth crime. Harsher punishment alone isn’t the answer
you kind of forget the fact that america is a semi third world country with the direction it is going, filled with slums and drugs addicts, while korea is rising to a T1 country. American shootings are a normal thursday, because of gangs, im gonna be racistor anything at all, white people make up gangs too. Im just saying korea doesnt think having a gang is cool and stuff, while you have streamers like adin begging on his knees to include him in a gang.
@@allansherin9565 I thought that "with the direction it is going" meant it hasn't happened yet
I don't get why S.Korea doesn't just change their laws surrounding minors?! Multiple k movies/series have discussed the severe injustice the law system serves; even the Korean public are against these laws. It's so stupid and completely useless to keep them in place. it literally excuses horrific crimes under the premise that someone is 'too young'.
It can be a good and bad thing. There's been cases of elementary school kids being tried as adults which I really don't see as reasonable but I don't think anyone should be not punished at all unless it was very clearly accidental
Kids get reduced punishment here for a lot of crimes...but murder is the 1 time they can be treated as adults.
I want them to react to "beyond scared straight"
It would have been interesting to include cases from both countries involving minors under 14 and compare sentences, since in Korea, children aren't punishable by law, even if they kill someone. Very interesting video! It's a good wake up call to those who want to move to Korea because kpop romanticizes the country to be like a "better" America.
i mean. atleast you dont have to worry about everyone and their mother carrying a gun. wouldnt feel safe in murica for a second if id ever visit ngl.
@@zokora3656 lol why? Don't let the media overhype the gun thing, and certainly never let the media tell you how to think and feel about America. What you hear on the news does not represent us. Not everyone has a gun. In fact, a lot of liberals here in the US fear them, don't own them, and push for policies to try to make it harder for other people to get them. The biggest thing you can do to feel safe in America is to steer clear of big cities. Big cities = big crime. Plus, politicians don't do a very good job with keeping felons under lock and key if they assault people. They let them go so they can hurt more people. It happens often in big cities, so when visiting, try to avoid big cities if you can. Plus, some neighborhoods are safer than others. Avoid downtown areas.
Also, in America, I feel safer knowing that people have guns because I know that someone who is carrying can put down a threat very quickly. Sometimes I consider getting a gun for safety. Criminals will always have a weapon, so don't ever let yourself be defenseless if you can help it. That's how a lot of us think (at least us conservatives).
I think one thing that they should also be made aware of is that juvenile records are usually sealed, and can't be used against you as an adult. (With exceptions) So yes, the kids are punished, but if they follow the system, when they become adults, they basically get a fresh start.
Children under 14 SHOULD NOT be punished for ANY crime. Their parents should be. There’d be a lot less under age crime.
that wont help, there are kids who commit fraud because their dad didnt buy them robux ....
I'd like to see it but the other way around, I feel like this made the American justice system look WAY better than it is.
Please react to CHARLIE CHEON: WHAT ARE WE DOING TO WHITE PEOPLE? He's an ASIAN MAN in USA TRYING to show what is REALLY going on. He's also got another video where black lives SILENCE asians in USA if they even speak up. I pray you REACT to those two videos. It's a MUST AND NEED. ALL RACES are dying by ONE RACE. Sadly.
long prison sentences don't make sense and are one of the biggest faults of the american justice system. prison doesn't even pretend to focus on rehabilitation and is more about punishment and justice. it sickens me as an american personally. i would like to see a system like norway's put in place.
I’m actually so surprised that kids in Korea don’t get punished before age 14!
you should make a video about Scandinavian rpunishment system.
I wish they a video like this but crimes against women/girls and the person getting charged
The kids was crying because jail is terrifying depending on the sentence
If I remember correctly the second boy accidentally let his half brother die in a fire. So it wasn’t with intention
Sick dog 🤢
It’s kinda really sad seeing them being so surprised over some of the lighter sentences. 15 years for arson that killed your kid brother? Nah man. That’s light.
If you do not have a place to put them for the length of the sentence, what can you do. There are states in the U.S. that have lesser sentences because the prison space may be limited.
if countries have very limited space for criminals, how can they have long sentences. If states in the U.S. does not have space, the criminal is jailed in another state and that state is reimbursed for the time the criminal is jailed there.
Law is supposed to be imposed to punish criminals. Its baffling how Korea protects criminals, hence why Bullying is not taken seriously during their youth and not when all is done, before we take action. Age does not excuse crime.
The idea was good, but the crimes shown were not. Murder for America, petty crime like stealing for Korea. To have a good comparative, the crimes need to be similar. It's disgusting that kids under 14 get no punishment whatsoever. They know right from wrong, and I'm sure a number of them commit the crimes easily knowing they wouldn't get punished for them. Though I agree with what one of the girls said at the end, about there needing to be a middle ground between punishment and rehabilitation. Even though teens know right from wrong, they're still not adults, and shouldn't be treated exactly the same as adults.
What’s sad is that the 17 set a fire but it’s up for debate if he intentionally tried to kill his baby brother. One hand the boy is only serving 15 years for killing a baby, on the other it’s manslaughter and he has to live with his brothers death on his hands.
Dumb idiot. What did he think was gonna happen with a person still being inside the building 🤢
Also he was autistic and it’s highly assumed that he was falsely accused by many people
@@lyllirose-oy5ww I work with children and teens with autism they aren't burning houses down its him alone.
@@jayr7781 I myself am autistic and I can understand that it likely was a mistake
@@jayr7781 read some articles in this case
I still think that the Korean law system should change
The only good thing that came out of s.korea's overly lenient juvenile law is that Park Saeroyi was able to turn his life around after returning to society. Seriously tho, not everyone in juvy is a Park Saeroyi. A number of them pricks need to be tried and prosecuted as adults
Well from what I've seen Jacob Morgan accidentally dropped his
the newborn in the fire and tried saving him
he did not kill the baby bec the baby died by fire hazzard
Yeah, the case in beginning was just sad because the son actually is on the side of the autism spectrum where he needs literal supervision and his parents left him alone with the baby. They seriously should have gotten a babysitter for both of them because it happened due to the parents own neglect
Show them the youngest serial killers..
it’s important to acknowledge that in america because of racial injustices, trying children as adults is abused and unequal based on race. Certain (white, rich) children do just go home with little to no punishment. this in hand contributes to a much larger pot of issues. while i don’t agree korean teenagers should be receiving a slap on the wrist for murder, i don’t think the United States is the place to look for exemplary sentencing. Our justice system is heinously flawed and it is very rare we see real justice as a result.
the 17 year old, jacob morgan who burned down the house said he loved his bro and his bro dying felt like a piece of him dying. jacob also had several mental illnesses and severe autism but the court didnt care. he dosent understand cause and effect or the ability to reason as his mom said thats why he was shocked and crying. lucky he was freed after 7 years. i always tear up hearing his story poor jacob 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Still it sucks that so much of his life was taken away...
Can you do more videos on this topics comapr8ng
If you commit a seven deadly in the US that's almost an instant life in prison and depending on severity and nature with or without parole and it don't matter if you're a minor. I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly so don't quote me on it. I do think Korea needs to be a little harsher on juveniles and offer rehabilitation programs bc this isn't going to be solved with just a slap on the wrist to the offenders and then not be punished. Like what about the victims in a lot of these cases? They don't get justice with the leniency that's in place currently
2:33 is the guy with the black shirt from Asian Boss?
I like watching these videos, but it's hard to hear what judges say when the commenters are talking. Can you add subtitles for what the judges are saying when the commentators are talking?
its not all the same in the u.s. if u come from a rich family, u wont be punished. also, u only showed the ones where someone died. if they break into a business and steal their stuff, they wont get punished either.
The guy who cry was a drunk driver
Can you guys react to the Ukraine-Russian war?
Does it at least go on their records? Please tell me they do 😕
You should have the react to a very recent case at the momnent tyree nichols case
Does s. Korea have privatized prisons like we do here in the states?
if the kids are too young, punished the parents and blacklist the students from going to college and getting a job. bam problem solve.
The k drama the glory must help people to understand the trauma and change the law?
Great video but imo a little misleading. On the Korean side we have theft, gta and robbery. On the US side we have murder. I would have liked it way more if the crimes were comparable in both age of the culprit and the crime itself/severity of the crime. I think that would have brought up a more suitable discussion about what kind of punishment should be considered since what i got from the video is that in Korea if you are below the age of 14 you are pretty much free to go and beyond 14 its up to 15 years. Considering the crimes that were shown for the US system this just doesnt sit right with me as i can imagine that those 2 teenagers (who were both above 14) would have received the same or similar punishment in Korea (15 years).
14 to 17 yrs old they already know what is wrong and what is right
they are not children anymore
that is why they call teens
means they will became in the stage of adulthood but they have a brain of a person knows what they are doing
No they don't. That's why teens are notorious for doing stupid things.
i mean look at LA and NYC and chicago and they aint even punish adults. like one dude stole a car in chicago and led police on a high speed pursuit, but he did it for too long and ended up getting arrested in the neighboring county and was sentenced to 18 years when he would have been let out on bond for like 2500 dollars in chicago because in the US big cities have weak prosecutors who are soft on crime
Bullying is a normal thing in east asia. It's not a crime.
It shows the lack of effort the student is showing at handling themselves and others

they should totally react to America’s worst serial killers. serial killers as in Ted bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, Jack the Ripper, Harold Shipman, John Wayne Gacy, H.H. Holmes, Pedro Lopez. or the ones that got the death sentence. Jeffery Dahmer i would count as a Death sentenced prisoner even if he only got 99 years. (he went to a prison that DIDN’T allow death sentences)
The worst of them are still a joke compared to mengele. hell you could fuse all of those serial killer into one ultimate serial killer and mengele would still just chuckle. that dude was a real menace. for the faint hearted i wouldnt recommend looking into his experiments on twins especially or how much fun he had treating little jewish kids like his own until he got bored and did things to them the least of us could imagine.
The sk kids would be found unalive in a river if they had to go to jail for 15 years ☠️ that is like a significant chunk of your life you threw away for something stupid.
Hmm...it probably plays a part in the intense bullying
It’s 2024 but the case about the 17 year old I heard he has autism and his dad didn’t love him I think and burned the house down and blamed it on him so I think he’s out of jail now
I wonder if scared straight would work in south Korea
