Putting a fine on the parents at least makes them partly responsible for the monster they created.
I did not necessarily mean in lieu of fines.
The taxpayer footing the bill would suck.
However, it may be saving money in the long run.
It could be preventing a career criminal form being created and living off of the taxpayer's dime, for the rest of their lives.
I also believe there are federal grants (still taxpayer money, I know) for children with social disorders.
There are certified volunteers, as well.
Regardless, as others have said, this type of thing is incredibly tricky to deal with and every case is different.
