It is sad he is a child. Come on we all make mistakes especially at 14. I am only too happy for my tax dollars to be spent trying to get this child out of custody over there. You are right if it happened here there would be little interest, because - he wouldn't be incarcerated, and he would be treated as a juvenile not an adult. I don't advocate breaking the law, but I do have compassion for this boy and his family. Nothing good can come of him being in prison in Bali.
