They should do time in juvie, I agree. Perhaps make it so that on the off chance they become worthwhile members of society this incident doesn't completely hamper their ability to succeed.
However, they first need to have their asses kicked by members of their own families before letting the state have their shot. My sister is a mental health professional and constantly sees young people like this, usually with mothers who are asking "I don't know what else to do." Well, the answer is easy. If your daughter threatens to kill you and breaks stuff all over your house, find out what the law will allow and max it out.
