India bill to try minors as adults after Delhi gang rape
'The move follows calls for stricter punishment for juveniles after a 17-year-old was among those convicted of gang rape and murder in Delhi in 2012.
At present, juvenile courts can jail those under 18 for at most three years.
Under the bill, minors convicted in adult courts would face longer jail terms but would be spared the death penalty or life imprisonment.'
Children are either children or adults.Moving the goal posts to pacify press headlines,and no doubt inbuilt government stupidity and corruption in earlier failures will not achieve justice.
