I'd like to know what their sealed juvenile rap sheets look like. Hard to tell from news accounts whether the 13 year old was just a tag-along or if she was really a co-perpetrator. Juvy record would shed a lot of light.

I'll reserve judgement on whether they should be charged as adults, since I know virtually nothing about their histories. But I would definitely like to see their parents charged as adults. Of course, it might be necessary to do a large-scale DNA testing operation to find out who their actual fathers are. But anybody who has ever received government benefits or a tax credit based on these little monsters being their dependents, should be hauled in for interrogation, and we need laws that we can charge these people under.
