Plenty of 18 year olds do amazingly responsible things with positive impacts on society.

I recall being quite cognizant of adult thoughts & adult responsibility at age 14.

At age 20 I created something with friends that has led to multiple tens of millions of research funding for college students.

Many highly intelligent high school students compete in science & engineering competitions beyond levels of college & graduate level students.

People age and mature differently.

How many people have made mistakes and learned/grew from them.

He's a child give him time.

This, indeed, rather than label an 18 year old - whether he's legally an adult or not - as violent and unable to learn, and throw them in a cage for the rest of their lives.
