[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as you are probably aware, this trial is a signal that your niece's situation is serious and that previous efforts to rehabilitate her have not been successful, for whatever reasons. If she has been fighting so badly since she was 13 that she has been tried "many times" and has now seriously injured another child, something very serious is going on here.

You are correct that teen brains are not fully developed. That is why they are CHILDREN who need to be guided and appropriately supervised by a parent or caregiver. Frankly, if your sister is not up for that task, and you care enough about this child to try to intercede with the prosecutor, you could also step up to provide guidance and supervision. If you are concerned about the psychological aspects, get her into counseling. If you are simply concerned with discipline, consider the suggestions of a rigorous boarding school program.[/quote]

It would have to be a specialized boarding school. Boarding schools would not take a student with such problems.[/quote]
