I guarantee there are posters here who went through juvenile hall (or whatever the Canadian equivalent is), learned from it and are well-adjusted adults today. We can't afford an 18 year old the same opportunity? Sad.

I would've sided with you in giving this person a chance but most teams interviewed him as a young adult - 18 years old, not as a 14 year-old - that's enough of an opportunity already. Most, if not all, likely found him unfit for their team. As a young person maturing into an adult, it's either you get enlightened or you continue to be what you're molded to be. Unfortunately, his parents molded him to be "Not Good!".
