But again, I'm fine with second chances. My point was cannon7's post downplaying the severity and specifically his quote "In fact, there's accounts of the opposite." is in essence acting like he's already redeemed himself when the victim and his family are saying much differently.

He hasn't reoffended in four years. How many years is enough for you? Or is he a juvenile offender for life?
Acknowledging the human condition is not downplaying, it's reality. We don't come into this world as fully formed perfect beings. Nor do we leave it as such.
To expect a 14 year old to know better, knowing nothing of his upbringing is not only unrealistic -- it's completely lacking in common sense.
I'm not excusing his behavior. And he was punished for it. But apparently society wants more blood for the sins of a child.
