    I suspect that that’s less a Texas thing and more the difficulty of legally locking up a ten-year-old in a mental hospital long-term.

      Doesn’t have to be for life but 6 months in an institution would do him better than 6 years in jail.

          He sounds like he is mentally unwell. He needs psychiatry and people who can work with him, not prison.

            America doesn’t help people, it just gives them guns. The only difference this time is that they were unusually young.
