...great many households, work, divorce or both have removed parents for much of the day. Mitchell Johnson, the older boy accused in Jonesboro, didn't see a lot of his father, who split from his mother in 1994. When the grownups are out, or even when one is there but not mindful, children are left to the mercies of a peer culture shaped by the media, the ultimate in crazed nannies.

History shows that of all the Presidents ranked "great" or "near great" by historians, not one was compelled by his greatness to "jump on a lot of women."

In fact, if convicted of killing five and injuring 10, they are likely be out of prison at age 18. In Arkansas children under 14 cannot be tried as adults, and juveniles face a maximum sentence described by state law as "indeterminate," which means not to exceed their 21st birthday. And, says Gerry Glynn, law professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, "most children are released at age 18 because the state...
