Wilderness camp? Who's upset by this? she's only "shocked and upset", and if she's that shocked and upset she won't do it again. Let's see what happens.

He whisked 13-year-old Shane Bly, who was accused of trespassing in a vacant building, from his parents and confined him in a boot camp for two weekends.

"whisked away for two weekends"........... okay, his mother is doing him no favors by feeding into his PSTD over a 2 weekend punishment for breaking the law, which we can assume was probably more than setting one foot over a "no trespassing sign. As the article mentioned, kids live in the moment. Tell him he got what he deserved and move on.

He sentenced Kurt Kruger, 17, to detention and five months of boot camp for helping a friend steal DVDs from Wal-Mart.
Several other lawsuits on behalf of the juveniles who have appeared in Ciavarella's courtroom have emerged.

What's the problem? He's a thief, maybe he won't be one when he's 18. He should thank the system for helping him in time.

What do kid friednly states do?

did you miss this part?

Ciavarella, 58, along with Conahan, 56, corruptly and fraudulently "created the potential for an increased number of juvenile offenders to be sent to juvenile detention facilities," federal court documents alleged. Children would be placed in private detention centers, under contract with the court, to increase the head count. In exchange, the two judges would receive kickbacks.

Forget the kid friendly comment I made.. no matter who or what age this would have happened to it's completely immoral by the standard judges are supposed to hold, as well as it completely undermines any chance of having faith in a justice system. What justice is served when a judge does not look at a case properly and is only concerned with how much money they will get for putting the child in some camp?
