This whole thread is just an example of how scary and bizarre the American morality is sometimes. And just alien, like, I can't even...

It's seriously this common for people here to think that hey maybe it makes sense to hold a 12-year old responsible for something like this?

I guess I do have a couple of points to add too.

1) They have succesfully rehabilitated child soldiers from the Sierra Leone and Uganda. In comparison I'm pretty sure this girl is an easy case.

2) After WW2 the vast majority of Nazis went on to live relatively uneventful lives. Because fun fact: perfectly normal people can murder others in the right circumstances, and then when those circumstances change, people will generally just stop doing that murdering thing.

I know it's nice to think that people do terrible things because they're evil and somehow fundamentally different kinds of people than you and your friends and family, and that "normal" kids could never do that. Comforting, but not actually true.
