In an IDEAL world, a period of supervised psychiatric
counseling and evaluation, coupled with a program that
would have gradually re-introduced & re-integrated
them into the community, in such capacity as their
progress and continuing prognosis dictated.
Of course, the media attention to the case, and the
underlying public bloodlust probably would have
rendered such a solution virtually impossible, even if
it existed institutionally (which I'm assuming it does
not).
In any case, I am hoping that the two boys in question
are never far from the sight of some mental health
care professional, public or private.
