I guess that's pretty fair for an underage attempted murder?

I'm not outraged by this headline, something's wrong.

I'm outraged at the neutrality of this headline!

They don't include some important details, but it sounds like the should be sent to a mental ward instead of prison. From the way they phrase it, the perpetrator isn't mentally capable. If she didn't realize the extent of the crime she was commiting, then that doesn't seem like something you can "fix". Unfortunately, the perpetrator seems like they are an unfixable danger to society. Not saying they need to be killed, as they don't actually seem malicious. But if they don't understand consequences they simply can't be allowed into the public.

It will be served under the intensive rehabilitative custody and supervision (IRCS) program, a therapeutic option for youth suffering from a mental illness or disorder who are convicted of the most serious offences.

Looks like she sort of will be.
