Nature or nurture (or a combination)? It's always a valid question in these kinds of cases.
How it should be handled legally is a tough question to answer as well.
If he can truly and demonstrably be straightened out over a time, that's one thing.
If not, it's disturbing that he will be free in society with no probation (which should be super strict) after the age of 21.
Anyway, I hope court-mandated counseling is the best possible and this kid can be fixed.
He's currently in the custody of his grandparents. Hopefully, the conditions for their custody include not having other children in the home.
