On the morning after Nathaniel Hurt slept in his own bed for the first time in 14 months, and everyone felt wonderful because this nice man was home from prison after inadvertently killing 13-year-old Vernon Holmes, you could visit the ground floor of the Clarence Mitchell Courthouse, juvenile section, and see how the various conditions that sent Hurt to his gun more than three years ago are unchanged.For here was an entire wing of Vernon Holmes types, kids in trouble, boys and girls, many of them teen-agers but plenty of them younger, all of them desperate for parental help, and they filled up a big waiting room, and more of them spilled into a dank corridor where they filled every bench, and beyond that, up a small staircase, there was the juvenile holding cell.

In the spirit of the season, Gov. Parris N. Glendening will commute the prison sentence of Nathaniel Hurt, a merciful gesture that will please those who figured Hurt got a raw deal but will do nothing at all for 13-year-old Vernon Holmes, lying cold and mostly forgotten in his grave.The governor operates from motives both pure and political, but his gesture gets us not an inch closer to the real problem, which cannot be brushed away even in this hour of peace on earth: We are frightened of our own children.
