Cabinet readies to treat 16+ as adults in heinous crimes

Cabinet readies to treat 16+ as adults in heinous crimes.. Headlines 2nd Dec 2013

This is preposterous. While the age should be maintained at 18 yrs to turn adult, for adult acts of crime be it Murder / Rape / Molestation, age has no reference and the act if committed by a juvenile should be considered adult and punished accordingly. By redefining the age of 16+; it indirectly means if one is 16- then if the act is committed it can be condoned. This defies my thinking or that of any sane person.
