The treatment center he's going to doesn't sound like a very fun place and he'll have a 10-year probation sentence to serve. Frequently, whether someone has assets is determinative as to whether they work some programs or just do their time. A non-wealthy teenager would probably get some time in a juvenile detention center, but would be out by age 18.
