As a psychologist who’s educated within the therapy of youngsters and adolescents, I say there need to be important penalties to finish this insanity.
The punishment must be swift and consequential; afterward, with some luck, this preadolescent will be reintegrated again into society.
Leniency and no penalties will result in additional delinquent conduct.

It seems to be like these children want a pleasant keep at CECOT in El Salvador to wipe the grins off their faces and provides them a much-needed perspective adjustment. Deporting them received’t be sufficient.
You would possibly suppose that sounds harsh, however what’s the choice?
We are able to’t deal with them like common youngsters, making them suppose that stealing and terrorizing individuals has no penalties. Then they’ll develop as much as be grownup menaces.
These will not be regular 12-year-olds and shouldn’t be handled like they merely failed to show of their math homework.
For years, we’ve allowed the progressives to dictate how criminals are handled — however treating them like victims has failed miserably.
A bit of dose of “scared straight” could also be simply what these children want.
