What are the odds she will be “reformed” at 18?
The Arkansas kids who shot up their school and killed several kids and teachers could only be charged as juveniles under the law at the time. They were released with new names and ‘clean’ records.
One of them ended up living not far from where I live and his true identity was only revealed when he died in a car wreck. Although his records were supposed to be sealed, the local sheriff’s office was aware of who he really was. He even tried to apply for a concealed carry permit.
How old was he when he died? Did he have a clean record after 18?
In some respects it is more the frequency than the severity. I assume the Arkansas kid didn’t burn down the youth jail and then rob someone and then shoot at police. .
