The Family Court and the Office of the Attorney General, their focus is not deterrence, it's not punishment, it's not retribution, it's rehabilitation. They are not rehabilitating. So give these kids and me a chance where I can say to them, you know what, there's a consequence here. That doesn't mean I can't rehabilitate them. (04:13–04:23)
