Young boy sentenced to im-patient.
In Arizona, a young boy admitted killing his father, along with another man. The young boy was charged with two counts of homicide, but after plea bargaining the chargers were only one count of negligence homicide. Instead of this ten year old going to a juvenile detention center, he will be attending im-patient. Though there was not much released of what will be happening while the young boy is in im-patient, one thing that will defiantly be going on is psychiatric help. Every two and a half years the boy will have follow up evaluations so the court is updated on his progress.
My Response:
I don't think that this ten year old should be in im-patient. I believe that he should be in a juvenile center. He took two lives violently and shouldn't just be in a psychiatric hospital. Yes he will be getting help, but it is not guaranteed. He could come out of the facility at eighteen years old and commit more murders. I just believe he should be locked up. I don't think he is a danger to himself, just to other people.
