She does say incarceration isn't the solution (as if there is one) while not offering any "solution" of her own. She did sign an IEP essentially absolving (and requiring teachers to absolve) the kid of any of the consequences of his actions.

Nobody is saying "it is their fault and they should have raised him better." They are saying regardless of the kids situation, there are consequences in this society for anyone who nearly beats someone to death without reason. They are saying regardless of the kid's situation, society must be protected from people like that.

A) Are you blind? There are plenty of posters here saying essentially that, ie, stating all kinds of tropes about absent fathers, dependent mothers, etc.

B) I have yet to see anybody (including myself) say that there should be no consequences. This is a hard case, though, and what kind of humanity are you lacking to just want this kid thrown in a hole at the mercy of the merciless for decades?

C) Is prison the only way to insulate this kid from the triggers and risks, or is it just an easy way to forget about the problem?
