If the little monsters are less than 15, they’ll be tried as juveniles. They can be kept in TYC (juvie) until 18 and they get a clean slate. Likely at the state school in Brownwood, TX. It’s highly doubtful they’d get a cushy placement like a halfway house or a wilderness camp.
Older teens can be kept at TYC until 19 and then transferred to adult prison. The baddies who aren’t bad enough for prison may have the option to join the military.
Turns out the headline was a pure lie.
It was an accident.
