My only knowledge is the story linked to above, but if that summarizes the story correctly, she encouraged her adult boyfriend, but there's no evidence that she actively participated in killing them. I don't think it takes an irredeemably evil person to wish their family dead when they're 12. Take someone with a not-uncommon behavioural disorder, expose them to a goth culture, violent media, and an adult love interest, and it's not hard for me to believe they'll feel like they're being stifled by their family (what teenager doesn't feel like that to some degree) and will start fantasizing about how great their life would be if their family were out of the way. It's having a murderous adult psychopath who will carry out the act as the audience that leads to the real danger.
If she did her time, grew up, got extensive therapy, and the opinions of her supervisors are that she's safe to rejoin society, then I think that's a win for our justice system and something that should be (to some degree) celebrated.
