Outrage erupts in England after a 14-year-old boy, who stabbed a 14-year-old girl at least 10 times with a kitchen knife because she refused to go out with him, walked free without a prison sentence. The judge called the attacker a "brilliant boy" and said prison was "the last place" he should be, and dismissed his curfew, saying 14-year-olds "tend to be a bit temperamental". Police described the incident as a "frenzied attack" that left the victim with cuts to her neck, hands and face. Despite the requests, the Attorney General refused to review the sentence as "excessively lenient", because juvenile court sentences are exempt from appeal. Just imagine if this happened to your daughter.
