I asked that question because we had an opportunity to speak to a parent whose child had been beaten to death, and in the aftermath, what was even worse was that she had another child—I forget if the other child was 11 years old, or something in that range—who was threatened by other young people and who ultimately had shots fired at him from a vehicle and was simply terrorized. The evidence was that perhaps there might be something we could do to improve the law to assist 11-year-olds or other young children who find themselves in that situation.
What improvements to the Youth Criminal Justice Act would you propose to protect children who are terrorized by such violence?
