What Do These Countries Have in Common? (almost)

The United States,
Iran,
Pakistan,
Saudi Arabia,
Yemen,
Nigeria,
the Democratic Republic of Congo, and
China.

... only seven countries other than the United States have executed juvenile offenders since 1990: Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and China. Since then each of these countries has either abolished capital punishment for juveniles or made public disavowal of the practice.

I don't know......
if you're willing to use capital punishment, it seems to me there are some pretty evil teenagers who are at least as deserving as some adults.
