[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also wondered how it makes sense to put a bunch of psychopathic kids together and expect them to improve.[/quote]

I agree. There's a good deal of evidence that sending adolescents and young adults to prison actually makes them more antisocial. I'd say the same logic may apply to these kids.

I am a school psychologist and cringed when I read that the kids were grouped together. I hope they are following up with providing support at the students' schools. They all probably learned how to be more disruptive and manipulative. One kid like that ruins the classroom for all the other students. At one school we have a similar type of student enrolled. The patents refuse to agree to place him at a special school. Three of his classmates left the school. At least once a week we have to evacuate the classroom when he goes on a rampage. He is physically and verbally aggressive (he whispers in your ear in a calm voice that he is going to kill you). [/quote]
