Wow, that is awful. But they were 12 when it happened, so I imagine that something very wrong must be wrong with them and that a psychiatric commitment is appropriate. I also can't believe they were tried as adults when they were 12 when the crime was committed. And also, the sentence is a minimum of 3 years and a max od 25. It sounds like she could be out well before 25 years.

So in most psych wards, they have "solitary confinement" for dangerous patients. I hope those two would be kept in solitary until they are deemed safe. And that they would never be left unsupervised. It also sounds like they should never be allowed Internet access, which most psych wards don't allow anyways without supervision.

Geez that is just messed up.
