I think we should have a parental responsibilty law, but punishments need not be harsh, it might be things like fine.
The main reason why a delinquent child commits criminal acts is because the parents neglect them as they are too busy to have time for them.
Although it may not be the parents' fault that the child does something wrong but the parents have the responsibilty and duty to ensure the child is on the right track in life. Being their 'mentors', the parents have to be somewhat responsible for the child's actions.
As for the 16 year old teen, i feel he should not be hanged as that is too harsh and he is still young. Everyone deserves a second chance. However, he needs to learn that a murder is intolerable and inhuman, thus he should be jailed at the mercy of His Excellency, the President. That is, he shall be jailed till the President agrees to release him.
