Lawmakers: Sending 10-year-olds to jail endangers them, perpetuates abuse
Sending children to prison would perpetuate injustice and child abuse, opposition lawmakers said amid a proposal to lower the age of criminal liability to 10 years old. Neophyte lawmakers Chel Diokno of Akbayan party-list and Renee Co of Kabataan party-list, both lawyers, made the warning in response to the proposal made by Senator Robin Padilla. 'Walang batang kusang papatay ng kapwa tao dahil lang protektado siya sa pagkakulong. Ang sahol ng judgment ni Senator Padilla sa kabataan para sabihing lumalakas ang loob nilang i-risk maging kriminal. May pag-aaral bang nagpapatunay nito? Huwag po sana puro bias ang pinapairal,' Co said in a statement. (There is no child who would purposefully kill just because they are protected from incarceration. How lacking is Senator Padilla's view of young people to say that [being below` the age of liability] encourages them to become criminals. Are there studies supporting this? Let's not always let biases rule.) 'Walang tulong ang pagpapakulong sa mga bata para sugpuin ang krimen kung malaya ang mga mastermind at bad influence at umiiral ang krisis na tumutulak sa kanilang kumapit sa patalim. Kapag nilagay sila sa mga siksikang kulungan, napupunta lang sila sa dagdag panganib at magtutuloy ang siklo ng abuso at krimen,' Co added. (Imprisoning children will not help put an end to crime if the masterminds and bad influences are free, and if the crises that push them to desperation prevail. If you put them in crowded cells, you are only putting them in more danger and the cycle of abuse and crime will continue.) Co also criticized Padilla for wanting to send children in conflict with the law to jail and yet push for the release of former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is detained in the Netherlands over alleged crimes against humanity due to the thousands of drug war killings during his term. 'Bakit galit kayo sa kabataan? Kung krimen din lang ang usapin, bakit gusto niyong iligtas sa paglilitis si Rodrigo Duterte na mastermind ng mga heinous crimes na pumaslang ng libo-libong kabataan habang pangulo, pero ang mga batang nagkasala, gigil na gigil kayong habuling mapakulong?' Co said. (Why are you angry at children? If we're talking about crime, why do you want to rescue Rodrigo Duterte—the mastermind of heinous crimes who killed thousands of young people while president—from prosecution, but you are yearning to imprison children who have done wrong?) Diokno backed Co, saying that the existing Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act, which increased the age of criminal liability from 9 to 15 years old, is not a free pass for children to commit crime. The law, he said, provides that 'a child aged 15 years old or below at the time of the commission of the offense is exempted from criminal liability, provided that the child is subjected to an intervention program also provided under the same law.' Likewise, Diokno said the Juvenile Justice law provides for Bahay Pag-Asa wherein children in conflict with the law can undergo rehabilitation, and that the existing Bahay Pag-Asa units should instead be strengthened to ensure efficiency. 'Mukhang ang gusto ni Senator Padilla ay isang lipunang marahas at walang malasakit. Pero kung talagang gusto nating solusyunan ang krimen, ayusin natin ang mga sirang tahanan, sirang paaralan, at sirang sistema. Piliin nating maging lipunang may pagkalinga at pag-asa,' Diokno said in a separate statement. (It seems Senator Padilla wants a harsh society without compassion. But if we really want a solution to crime, let us fix these broken homes, schools, and systems. Let us choose to be a society that cares and has hope.) 'What we need is not to amend the law, but providing additional funding support for the children's rehabilitation,' he added. As for children aged 15 to 18 years old who committed heinous crimes, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act law provides punishment depending on the following: age (if 15 years old or below or above 15 but below 18 years old) the act of discernment; and penalty imposed on the offense committed. Children above 15 years old but below 18 years old who acted with discernment in committing a heinous crime face a jail time of more than six years and 'may be placed under suspended sentence and be subjected to rehabilitation programs.' Children who committed heinous crimes aged 15 years old and above but below 18 years old at the time of commission of the offense but are found to have acted without discernment, however, are exempt from criminal responsibility, regardless of the nature of the crime committed. — BM, GMA Integrated News

Getting a read on Harley: What the Eagles ace can learn from a Hawks legend
There was a period of play where Reid seemed central to everything happening on the ground, good and bad. He was the one Eagles player with physical presence and creativity, but also the one giving away free kicks and flapping his arms at umpires, opponents and teammates in despair or complaint. It was not a new thing – his year has been marked by as many free kicks and remonstrations as moments of brilliance. Why? He is 20. He looks like a man, and plays with the skill, power and talent that draws comparisons to Patty Dangerfield. The difference is he is still a kid, while Dangerfield has three kids. Reid has the temperament of a world-weary uni student who is technically an adult but still gets their parents to do their washing and explain insurance to them. Again, he is 20. 'I don't know if every game Harley Reid spends this much time talking to the umpires and the opposition and crowd, but it must be distracting,' Mark Ricciuto said in commentary with an evident degree of restraint. 'He has got bucket loads of talent, but he is spending so much time worrying about other things other than communicating with his own players, or focusing on what he should be doing, or how can he help his teammates. He can't do everything. 'He is not fit enough to be a gun mid yet. He is going to work on that over the next couple of years, but he should just channel a bit more effort into the football side of things. I love watching him, I am not trying to be too negative, but he is just channelling too much energy into the wrong spots at the moment.' It was the game where a trend became a problem. Reid has given away more free kicks (52) than any other player this year. There were six given away in Sunday night's game alone. In the same round, fellow No.1 draft pick Matt Rowell – a smaller man but also another precocious teenager who arrived in the game physically ready to play – drew seven free kicks and gave away five. He is a less animated figure on the ground than Reid. Reid has been fined numerous times this year – including for the bird – and on Sunday should have been suspended for tripping Travis Boak with a kick to both shins. Yet, somehow he drew just another fine. Fortunately, he is already quite well paid. 'He clearly crossed the line too many times tonight,' his coach Andrew McQualter said after the game, most likely with the trip in mind. 'I've had that chat with Harley already. He knows it, and he's going to play up to that line every single week, and that's where we want him... we want it to be a dance with the line that he doesn't step over.' Some, such as Kane Cornes – a strong defender of Horne-Francis – criticised Reid for being too selfish in the way he plays and giving away free kicks. Being criticised by Cornes does not put Reid in a small club in the AFL, but while Cornes' critique was more strongly worded, the sentiment was similar to Ricciuto's in saying the Eagles youngster should focus more on just playing. This week on the TV show Cornes shares with Luke Hodge and Dale Thomas, the former Hawthorn and Collingwood premiership players stepped to Reid's defence. Hodge is possibly the best-credentialed person to talk about Reid. He was Reid before Reid – a No.1 draft pick with the body and ability to play immediately, he took time to work the bigger AFL world out. 'He is 20!' Hodge pleaded.
