Target: Anyone who agrees
Region: Canada
Background (Preamble):
What we want done is some parts of the youth criminal justice act to be changed.
As it stands right now, you are not considered an adult until the age of 18.
What we want to do is change the way the courts see a minor, especially in heinous crimes.
If you are between the ages of 13-18 we believe that if you commit a heinous crime you should be tried as an adult.

Petition:
I am asking that people sign this petition saying that they would like to see young people who commit heinous crimes to be tried as adults.
I am asking that there be no names mentioned as it will taint you signature. Please feel free to add anything else that you might like to see changed in the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
