What makes murder an adult crime? Surely, an adult with a fully developed brain knows the implications of said crime, has the emotional capability to understand the impact and has real life experience in the adult world to know. A child on the other hand does not, so murder in a sense is an immature act of carelessness. Why should a child be treated like an adult? we need to protect children, the good and the bad. I am glad this kid got a second chance, it's a tragic case all round. An adult that kills a child is worse in my opinion.

Hes a predator. Hes a sociopath. He will never be reformed he will just learn how to blend in better and will get better at doing what he does. Best thing that could happen is he is eradicated the day he steps out of juvie. The horrendous pain and terror she would have gone through would be unimaginable. Kids that have those psychological reports and commit those crimes should be charged in adult court.

Even IF he did have a tough childhood, a person Who makes the decision to kill a child in this way, needs to be locked away for life. They aren't for society.

I am from the Bay Area and remember her story being all over the news when she went missing. Since he got tried and convicted as a juvenile, they could only sentence him up to 10 years, which means he will be due for release in 2025. He will be 25 years old by then and still a danger to society. The type of crime he committed, there is no rehabilitation for. There is no cure for someone who rapes and kills little children.

i used to live in santa cruz. i knew and grew up with maddy, we went to the same school and liked a lot of the same things, we were close friends during the third grade. i remember trading littlest pet shops and drawing, simple childish things. there isn’t a day that goes by that i don’t think about her. october 5th would’ve been her 17th birthday, a little less than a month after mine. i miss her smile and her laugh, he presence that warmed hearts and brightened rooms. i miss the days spent on playgrounds with her. it both infuriates and disgusts me that someone would ever extinguish her light, let alone think to. regardless of her untimely murder, her memory lives on in the hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing her. i love and miss u maddy, keep sparkling

When deciding whether to try someone as an adult, there should be only one question: Did he know what he was doing? Adrian knew exactly what he was doing when he betrayed Madyson in the most evil way. He even went so far as to _stab her in the neck_ when he noticed she was still breathing. Adrian made adult decisions; he should pay an adult price. There is no forgiveness in my heart for him killing that innocent 8-year-old child.

My community went though the same thing. A little girl named Amanda disappeared from our neighborhood. It turns out a sixteen year old boy at my high school confesses to kiling her. It was a scary and sad time. What makes me even more angry is he was walking aroud the high school campus like he had done nothing. That youg man is in prison for life and that's where he belongs. God bless little Maddie may her sprit shine brightly.

So frustrating that they were so adamant in the beginning about it be "a missing person's case" not an abduction. What the hell else could it be? Little girls dont just vanish. She was obviously abducted.... so frustrating

I guarantee you, Maddie was not his 1st victim. Rapists/Killers don’t just automatically and suddenly beat, rape and kill all at once. They start with smaller, more secretive crimes against victims. Likely, there were other children who were too young to understand what he had done to them behind closed doors and therefore never came forward. To release this monster in a few years is nothing short of willfully endangering every single person that crosses his path in the future.

@@gram5963 People need to stop romanticising children. It is well known that children can be incredibly cruel - you only have to look at the bullying statistics. Children are not 'innocent little beings'. They are ignorant, not innocent. Once they 'know' about things, they are just as capable of perpetrating those atrocities as an adult. Especially considering their brains aren't fully developed yet; they lack compassion, empathy, impulse control, and aren't fully cognisant of the consequences of their actions. For instance, if young boys had a fully functioning sex drive, and knew about sex, the sexu@l assault statistics in kindergarten and elementary schools would probably exceed that of grown men. They would be cornering little girls (and boys) all over the place, because they haven't learnt restraint or right and wrong yet. Children are not 'good' because they are 'innocent' - it's that they don't know about things yet, and their behaviour is constantly corralled and curbed by parents, teachers etc. Take that away, give them knowledge, and they would be monsters to rival, if not exceed, any grown adult.

Regardless of the age of the offender, we must be realistic about those who exhibit sociopathic/psychopathic traits. There is currently no way to rehabilitate or successfully treat such individuals, and there won’t be for the foreseeable future. I’m not suggesting that they be thrown into adult prisons as minors, but they simply cannot be released back into society.

There are sociopathic people who don’t kill others/inflict pain even though they don’t feel the same empathy as most, and I don’t believe that someone diagnosed with sociopathy but has otherwise never harmed/showed signs of harming anyone should be locked away. Plenty of people are capable of murder under the right circumstances, and we shouldn’t consider them guilty of it prior. But once they have crossed the line into hurting other people, there is no rehabilitation, because they won’t regret it. This case had no gray area. The rape and murder of a child is not a “mistake” someone can come back from. Appalling that the law was unable to bring justice.

I agree that putting him in adult jail will get him involved into "bad habits" but that's only a concern for the ones that will eventually be released into society. I believe almost everyone was on board with him not seeing the light of day!

It’s scarcely believable that AJ received such a light sentence considering the degree of trauma he inflicted on Maddy and her family. That he’s likely to be freed by the age of 25, walk the streets, carry a weapon and encounter vulnerable women and children is a travesty of justice.

He said because of his rape charge his time incarcerated was brutal and oddly enough he said it was worse while in the juvenile department as opposed to the adult prison. Kids are ruthless and they showed him just how ruthless in juvenile detention. That's the only positive I can hope for in this case.

For those that voted in favor of this controversial law, they all have blood on their hands when these psychopaths & sociopaths are released back into society after they leave juvenile detention.

@@rullmourn1142 Sadly I agree, but hope we are wrong. It’s so frustrating that that’s what it’s going to take 😤

What a travesty. I'm in the belief that if someone's mature enough to commit an adult crime, they need to be tried as an adult.

Especially today. More teens are committing heinous crimes and counting on being viewed as a child. Only man determined that teens are adults at eighteen. Some countries younger, some older. That does not take into account how each has developed mentally.

You put that very well. I was thinking about it in much more brutal terms.

@@DaniHMcV As long as that same energy is kept when a woman commits a crime as well. But all I ever see is women getting a slap on the wrist or nothing at all. Even for horrendously crimes.

You cannot rehabilitate someone like this. As someone with a similar dark side, I can surpress it, but it lurks and always waits for its next opportunity to strike. He will always be a danger to child, once it has tasted human flesh, it will hunt humans again.

It makes me sick to even think of what this babygirl went through. I have a nine year old and she’s so innocent and they only see the good in this world. It breaks my heart that he was supposed to be a friend to her. What a monster!! My heart breaks for both the mothers in this case. I can’t imagine loosing my child in such a tragic way or imagine my child taking another that way. I’ truly admire Maddie’s mom for befriending Reggie and not putting blame on her for what her son did. That’s one of the most compassionate and strong things to do and she did it with grace and love. My heart goes out to both parents and I pray that they find peace and healing. Maddie may you rest in heaven with all the other little angels like yourself. Fly high sweet girl 🙏🏼💜
