Why we need to raise the age for children being charged as adults in the corrections system?
Teens in Rikers are subject to high rates of violence.

NEW YORK — A law that prevents all 16- and 17- year olds from automatically being charged as adults in New York, no matter the crime has been thrown back into limbo after budget negotiations by legislators fell apart Wednesday night, days past the deadline, according to reports.
The state's budget, originally due April 1, has been delayed as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle negotiate the specific details in the Raise the Age bill — which would end New York's current status as one of only two states (North Carolina is the other) that prosecutes all 16- and 17-year-olds as adults.

The legislation would move all 16- and 17-year-olds charged with misdemeanors to family court.
