I know men who at the same age did much worse. And they were sent to youth detention centers. And their accounts of these youth detention centers is that they were as bad as prisons, if not worse.
Most of them now hold steady jobs and have clean criminal records as adults. They're not psychopaths. They don't need to be beaten and taught a lesson. They've already been punished for what they did. As has this young man.
Be reminded that what this young man did was between the ages of 7 and 14. There were adults. They didn't step in. Direct your outrage, if you must, in the right direction.
