      This is a perfect example of the noncentral fallacy. When you say ‘school shooter’ what comes to mind is a sixteen year old sociopath murdering a dozen people in a planned terrorist attack, not a six year old who is incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions.

      Wow, you are scum to write off a child’s entire life like that. Yeah, you’re definitely an American “Christian conservative” (quoting another of your comments from elsewhere). I’m writing you off - it’s a shame you didn’t get the same treatment you’re advocating when you were a kid.

      Mental facilities really aren’t very good. He will have a better chance of turning his life around while living in a home, with a family, and recieving mental health therapy.

      Housing in a “mental facility” (at least here in the US) would make that outcome all but certain. The kid needs regular assessment and help from professionals, sure. With a loving home and safe caregivers through the rest of childhood it will be possible for him to recover and reconcile with his actions, so I hope that’s what he’s getting.
