Under age

May I know exactly the age when you say that a certain person is underage? Below eighteen years of age? I think it must not be the age we should preferred to be called under age. You may ask why? Have you heard from the news on TV, that a ten year old boy is capable of killing his playmates by using a gun? A thirteen year old snatching a bag from a lady walking at the street. A six year old girl used by a gang as an accessory to a crime, would you dare to believe that? I think our government should act to give a solution to this problem. I think this happens not only in our county but almost all parts of the world. Below eighteen is too old to be considered under age for we all know that with the advance use of gadgets everywhere they are truly influenced with their own friends or may be inside their homes. The bad side of this when an underage committed a crime they will not be put in jail instead they will only be brought to DSWD ( Department Of Social Worker And Development )for care and rehabilitation and be free for just how many months. But the worst part of this sometimes, these under age tried to escape from DSWD before they finish the period of their rehabilitation.
