These kids went to juvenile detention, not prison, but same thing, just a lower percentage of axe murderers and sex offenders...

For this situation, there is nothing to indicate these kids have behavior problems or are prone to commit violent acts. All that happened was a drawing was discovered and it triggered a very ridiculous statute. If you ask me, regardless of the depiction the drawing is describing, any pictures kids make do not reach a threshold in my head that would justify an arrest. Thoughts on paper are not the act itself.

The parents that think this is right are just setting their kids up for a lifetime of disappoint and difficulty. Give the kids a chance to work out their problems. Eh, but this is only my opinion and I don't know much about childhood development. Someone is going to tell me that medication is the best choice for these soon-to-be mass murderers....
