but what do you do with a 12 year old psychopath? I would start with outward bound. He would need a qualified guardian. Kids need discipline, they need rules and they need stability. They need opportunity. They need to feel safe. My solution is , safe houses. Farms , group homes , halfway houses.There are many old schools in Ohio. We have built new Schools.Some old Schools could be turned into school / dorms. No fences. Just a campus.
It does not have to be run by the govt. Bid it out. award the contracts to faith based organizations. Award them to anyone who will step up. I work with these kids. there are no bad kids. There are one hell of alot of scared kids.
