After the latest shocking video from the Sheriff's office of the Bernalillo County, which showed two young children with a invited weapon, local guides, including the representative of Bernalillo County, Adrian Barboa, and the Senator of the State of Linda Lopez (D-Albuquerque), demand more compassion for children who committed crimes.

They say that the problem of youth criminal is not something that we can arrest from the way out … and politicians who work on this topic. “These are our children. These are our families. So that they can blame them, it is absolutely unbearable. If you do not have a solution, you avoid. These politicians who work to convince the public that lame old approaches and guidelines that only deal with crimes after you have committed to who serves?” said Barboa.

The speakers demanded more psychological health programs for children. Further information on cooperation can be found on this link.
