I signed the petition; however, they left out the the country that I think should be the most ashamed of executing minors.
The United States of America.
Yes, in the USA, a number of minors have been legally declared adults during their trials, and then sentenced to death. Most of these people are in their late teens, but I know of a case where an 11-year-old was sentenced to death, right here in Texas.
Sadly, this trend is on the increase.
Aren't you Canadians glad you're government doesn't do that? (Well, if they do, they don't let anyone find out about it...)
