Abduction Story Made Up

http://www.ketv.com/news/5977112/detail.html

What do you do with an 8 year old in a situation like this? As an active practitioner in Juvenile Court, I can't really think of any effective remedy the Court could impose, beyond maybe counseling. I can't really blame the parents either. As a parent, I don't think they could have necessarily prevented this. I have learned that some kids will behave improperly regardless of how they are raised. And billing the parents for the costs of the city's time would not teach the child anything.

What are your thoughts?
