The blood of teen shooters and their kid victims are on the hands of Albany leaders

The juvenile justice system in New York is facing significant challenges due to the implementation of the Raise the Age law in 2018. This law sends most teen criminal defendants to Family Court and fails to address the issue of 16- and 17-year-olds who possess loaded firearms.

According to NYPD Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael Lipetri, there has been a disturbing rise in gun crimes involving juveniles, with 15 juveniles already murdered by gun violence this year. The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that some juveniles as young as 12 are committing multiple robberies.

Despite the alarming increase in juvenile crime, there are cases where repeat offenders remain on the streets. For example, a 14-year-old has been arrested two dozen times for various crimes but continues to roam freely. Similarly, a 12-year-old with multiple arrests, including for weapons possession, is also not facing appropriate consequences.

The age at which juveniles are acquiring illegal guns has dropped significantly, with some as young as 12 or 13 being involved in gun-related offenses. The number of adolescent inmates booked on murder charges has also seen a sharp increase since the implementation of Raise the Age.

The city’s juvenile detention centers have become overcrowded and chaotic, with the worst teen inmates exerting control. While reforms have been introduced to address these issues, the underlying problems persist.

The current approach by Family Court, characterized as “milk and cookies,” is failing to address the root causes of juvenile crime and is not effectively preventing gun violence. As a result, lives are being lost in predominantly black and Hispanic communities.

Despite the urgent need for action, state lawmakers, including Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, have been re-elected without taking meaningful steps to address the juvenile justice crisis. Governor Hochul has also failed to challenge the Legislature to implement necessary reforms.

It is clear that the current approach to juvenile justice is ineffective, and urgent action is needed to hold teen offenders accountable and prevent further tragedies. The failure of lawmakers to address this crisis is a disservice to the young individuals affected by gun violence, highlighting the need for immediate and comprehensive reform.
