elizabeth, let's start with you on this one.oing to read facebook comments to get things started. this is from michelle. i don't see why we have to try them as adults. instead the juvenile system needs to be revamped. change with the crimes. criminals are getting younger and more brutal. we need to adjust our system of punishment and rehabilitation to match the times. good points there. your thoughts on that, were you surprised they were tried as adults? >> in this day and age, i'm not surprised. unfortunately our state legislators have passed more and more laws decreasing the age at which juveniles can be bound over into adult courts. but that's not going to decrease the severity or the incidence of crimes. michelle is absolutely right. our juvenile system has to understand that juveniles are committing more crimes and more violent crimes at younger ages. but juvenile court is where boys like these have to stay. they should not be punished as adults. >> so that leads to the point there of the facebook comment, that the juvenile

so we elizabeth took matters into her own hand. she got into their carriage and in an adventure out of the movie she drove through the mob by herself to the prison gates she had a driver of course but she was alone in the carriage and when she got to the present she demanded to see lafayette, and eventually won her release. elizabeth monroe was only about 5 feet tall, a tiny little leedy but the courage and heart of joan of arc and she won the hearts of the french people. they called her beautiful american lady. monroe helped lafayette and her three children flee to france to safety. together elizabeth and james monroe save the lives of lafayette's wife and family. it is a truly thrilling story that i hope he will read. on his next mission to france a decade later this time for president jefferson, monroe went with $9 million from congress to negotiate the purchase of the island of new orleans. that is all he was supposed to do. so the farmers west of the appalachians could float down the mississippi to new orleans for shipment to

let's bring in elizabeth kelly on this, criminal defense attorney. i'm going to read a facebook comment, kind of a question from michelle writing how can you try a child with a child's brain as an adult? try the parents. they have a huge part to play in this. try hollywood who feeds our children violence like this. it gets to the point. what factors lead into charging a teen as an adult here? >> well, michelle's question or michelle's point is absolutely right. these are kids. they have kid-sized brains. this is a medical fact. this is a fact that the u.s. supreme court has acknowledged and they should be tried as kids. if they are tried as adults and convicted as adults and punished as adults, then you are going to ruin two more lives and two more families. nothing is going to restore mr. brewer but ruining additional lives and additional families will not help the situation. >> what's proper punishment, elizabeth? can the juvenile system dole out enough punishment for the heinous act they're alleged to have done? >> certainly so. that's what our ju
