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

[marajoya]

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! 💜

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.

[bluemonkey]

its crazy to me that teens in korea can pretty much not get punished for their wrongdoings compared to in america

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.

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."

[johannakoster]

I feel like I'd like to see another video like this with more comparative crimes.

[Alexis-ewjh]

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.

[brittney]

It’s disgusting how kids can steal a car and murder someone and suffer no consequence even after bragging about it online. Korea is really scary….

[BookNerdMusic]

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.

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.

[MissMaris]

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

[jewellchunn]

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

[sophiaisabelle]

OSSC never disappoints. They're simply the best at what they do.

[gingersnap]

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.

[yeettheskeet]

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.

[jcuff]

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.

[Catherine.Dorian.]

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

[nerasomnia]

From what I understand, juveniles do get lesser sentences for crimes in America, but they can be tried as an adult in severe cases.

[noellebaptiste]

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
