The young criminals are the most violent. The gang members know they're not going to jail. They should be treated as adults. The state legislature and governor are asleep at the switch. It's going to get worse before it gets better.
The incidents come as The Post reported on the troubling rise in teen violence, with lax state laws handcuffing cops as more youngsters have become crime victims and suspects in recent years.
In the most recent incident, the young victim was getting off a 5 train when he made eye contact with another straphanger - enough to tick off the attacker, who slashed him on the arm and took off on the train.
Police sources said the teen victim has six prior arrests, as his attacker remains free.
