In Anaheim, California, a 14 year old male was arrested for the brutal kidnapping, assault, and rape of at least 4 victims. He is to be tried as an adult if the D.A. gets his way.

I'm going to play armchair psychiatrist for a moment just for this particular case.If this young man has committed at least 4 violent rapes and kidnappings at 14,what are the chances that he will be able to be rehabilitated?Violent sex offenders generally are not "cured".Usually these sorts of acts are tied in with who the offenders are sexually.I think often it goes beyond mental illness. Once again,I am not a doctor,just an avid true crime reader.
While I agree adult prison probably isn't the answer,what do we do with him?(Thats a genuine question ,not sarcasm.) We certainly couldn't put him with other juveniles.He is going to be a danger where ever he goes.
