Texas once again showing how it's the most free state in the Union and how well it protects its children.
One sided story.
Psycopaths come in all shapes and sizes, maybe the kid is one "accident" away from stabbing another kid, given his prior transgressions.
- Maybe a child shouldn’t be punished for pre crimes with a method that will stunt his emotional growth
- I guess there’s the idea of solitary confinement is inhumane that people have against.
  Edit: People maybe upset with the idea of solitary confinement, due to the possible inhumanity of it.
  
  I'm trying so hard to understand your comment, but it's fracturing my brain...
  
  Omg, thank you for that clarification. And yeah, I had a roommate who had done a short amount of solitary and that was enough to fuck him up for life.
- Solitary confinement is abusive for adults, there is absolutely no excuse for using it on an 11 year old:

  And there is no debate they used solitary on the kid:
