White Bear:Just a Memory?

 When someone commits a crime, whether he or she is guilty or not depends on the conscience of the person and the maturity that he or she has, When a minor commits a crime, the charges are usually put on the parents because minors aren't mature enough to make their own decisions.

 In the film "White Bear", Victoria wakes up to a television and unaware of who she is or what she has done. In other words, she has no memory. Like a minor, Victoria shouldn't be held responsible for her actions since her memory has been completely wiped. Just like a minor, she isn't conscious of who she is or what her actions may cause, Instead of having tortured her, she should have been placed in a rehabilitation facility to recover her mental state and memory. If she ever was to recover, she would then face the consequences of her actions since she is conscious once again and knows what she's doing.

 What may we all consider to be maturity? Some believe paying the bills, raising a family, and following the law. These three traits are more applicable to an adult rather than a teenager. Adults, in general, behave accordingly to the law and take on responsibilities that minor's necessarily don't have to unless they find themselves in situations where they must do so.Therefore, Minors aren't held as responsible as adults for their actions.
