Two children who were victims of a collective abuse.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:02
We can't normalize this.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:04
I know that here in Brazil, every week, actually every day, there's a different scandal of corruption, of crime, of injustice.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:09
But, man, we can't just ignore it and carry on with life.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:13
We can't.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:14
And another thing, I'm not talking here about elections, about whether you like me or my party.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:18
Pay attention to what's happening.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:19
Five perpetrators of this crime were identified, four of whom are minors.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:23
That is, these four sons of the devil here in Brazil, under the law, don't commit a crime.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:28
They commit a juvenile offense.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:30
Do you know what will happen to these adolescents?
Nikolas Ferreira
0:32
Those who raped two children can be detained for a maximum of 3 years, or until they turn 18.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:37
After that, they'll return to society among us as if nothing had happened.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:41
If that's not an incentive for crime, I don't know what is. It's no coincidence; there are thousands of cases like this, it's far from an isolated case.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:47
And how long has Brazil not been held hostage by these minors who kill, rob, rape?
Nikolas Ferreira
0:52
Unfortunately, this has already become normalized.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:53
But put yourself in the victims' shoes, because our lives go on, right?
Nikolas Ferreira
0:56
But what about the family of that 71-year-old teacher in São Paulo who was stabbed by a 13-year-old student and died?
Nikolas Ferreira
1:01
In the case of 'Champinha', the 16-year-old minor who brutally killed a couple, which shocked Brazil even to this day.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:06
People remember that case.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:07
That was back in 2003, so it's been 23 years.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:11
And even after that emblematic case, Brazil still hasn't taken a measure to solve this.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:16
How many more examples will need to happen?
Nikolas Ferreira
1:18
There's another point here that can't be ignored.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:20
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
A Paraná survey this year showed that 77% of Brazilians are in favor of lowering the age of criminal responsibility.
Why it was classified this way · 78% confidence reports a poll (77% in favor) without proposing personal action.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:26
In other words, this isn't an isolated agenda of one politician or one party.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:30
It's the will of the population.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:31
Brazilians can't stand suffering at the hands of these criminals any longer.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:34
And the political system is content to... pretend this doesn't exist.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:36
The whole world, man, has already been taking measures, while the left here in Brazil — and it really is the left, because just check how PT has voted on this proposal over the years —
Nikolas Ferreira
1:45
Always against, always.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:47
Not only that, but working to avoid lowering the age of criminal responsibility.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:50
Meanwhile, in England, criminal responsibility begins at 10 years old.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:53
In France, full criminal majority is at 18 years old, but an adolescent, from 13 years old, can already be held criminally responsible and serve a prison sentence.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:01
In Germany and Italy, it's 14 years.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:03
In other words, the world has already understood that protecting doesn't mean coddling.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:06
But okay, I already know what you're asking, right?
Nikolas Ferreira
2:08
How are we going to solve this?
Nikolas Ferreira
2:10
There are several bills, many of them stalled for years.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:12
About: keep on the agenda the PEC that lowers the age of criminal responsibility
But there's a concrete proposal that can change this scenario, which is PEC 32 of 2019 by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence presents the PEC as a 'proposta concreta' that can change the scenario.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:18
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
It lowers the age of criminal responsibility to 16 and brings a very important point.
Why it was classified this way · 86% confidence says the PEC 'reduz a maioridade' and is a 'ponto importantíssimo' (supporting it).
Nikolas Ferreira
2:22
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
For heinous crimes, torture, trafficking, terrorism, criminal organization, responsibility can begin at 14 years old.
Why it was classified this way · 72% confidence describes the content of the proposal (liability starting at age 14).
Nikolas Ferreira
2:29
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
So it's not generalizing; it's differentiating who makes mistakes from who commits crimes.
Why it was classified this way · 86% confidence defends distinguishing between error and crime, justifying the proposal.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:33
Today this PEC is stalled in the Constitution and Justice Committee in the Senate.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:36
The rapporteur, Senator Márcio Bittar, has already submitted his favorable report.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:40
But then, Nicolas, what's missing?
Nikolas Ferreira
2:41
What's missing is scheduling it on the agenda.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:42
That depends on the committee president, who is Senator Otto Alencar, of the PSD from Bahia.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:47
Folks, I could here expose my political and ideological disagreements with the senator, but I'm not going to do that for a much greater purpose.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:53
At the end of the day, it's about saving lives.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:55
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
Preventing these lifelong traumas and putting in prison those who truly deserve it.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence says 'colocar na cadeia quem realmente merece', defending punishment.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:58
So what can we do?
Nikolas Ferreira
2:59
Demand action.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:00
About: keep on the agenda the PEC that lowers the age of criminal responsibility
Respectfully, firmly, directly, send emails, call the office, pressure on social media and ask that this PEC be scheduled.
Why it was classified this way · 92% confidence instructs to send e-mails, call and pressure so that the PEC is scheduled.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:08
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
Because until that happens, crimes like this will keep happening.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence asserts that, without approval, crimes like this will continue (pressures for action).
Nikolas Ferreira
3:12
And I'll repeat, two children were raped by five youths.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:16
As a father, guys, seriously, I can't even imagine that.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:19
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
So, lowering the immunity of minors is not radicalism.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence denies that reducing is radicalism and explicitly defends the measure.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:21
Radicalism is normalizing that this criminal walks away unpunished.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:24
After all this, man.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:24
I truly count on you, for these children, for these victims.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:29
And for justice in this country.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:30
Seriously.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:31
Enough.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:31
You know?
Nikolas Ferreira
3:32
That's it.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:32
About: keep on the agenda the PEC that lowers the age of criminal responsibility
The reduction needs to be approved right away.
Why it was classified this way · 95% confidence explicitly says 'A redução precisa ser aprovada pra já' (appeal for approval).
