Uhm, what the fuck?
We are dealing with kids here!
a). I do not consider them to have thought this over in a reasonable fashion. I mean hell, one 8 year old kid with "clean up duty". HOW THE HELL IS HE GOING TO MANAGE THAT! With the average strength of an 8 year old, they'd need at least four to drag the body to the grave-in-the-sandbox. Also, extra long lunchbreak to prepare the grave...
That aside.
b). have you ever seen how vicious kids get when they tease/harass other kids for <minor things that set them slightly apart from the group>. VICIOUS! They dont think about the consequences, just the here and the now matters.
also.
c). ADD/other weirdness does help to break down some of the rationalisations that "normal" people have (i think, i dont have scientific evidence to set next to this statement, someone who is more interested into youths-with-learning-disabilities, help me out here)
d). How is getting kids of that age into jail going to help them? That is just asking for some pedo's to go for them. Which would make the State an accessory to the crime (what without scentencing that the kid wouldnt be there), which could lead to uhm, interesting lawsuits...
e). i need some sleeps

Actually, giving them the snip might work too. I guess you could stab-snip them or something.

Er, these kids all had some kind of mental problem or other so condemning their parents to death and sterilisation because their children had some disturbing thoughts seems like a huge overreaction to me. And they didn't go through with anything, the weapons they brought could just as easily be seen as props in a (admittedly very morbid and worrying) group fantasy rather than something any of the kids who fully understood it would have gone through with. I'm not saying that nothing should be done about it, but I can't see what will be helped by them getting arrested. They need counselling not being locked up.

Cartilage Head:
These kids are malicious, but not psychotic. Everyone knows that children of this age do not have morals, and their disabilities only worsen the matter.The kids sought a remedy to their problem and possibly some excitement. I hate to say it, but their plot seems to come straight from a violent movie. The parents of some of these kids were obviously exposing them, or allowing them to be exposed, to something they should not have been exposed to.

I think that they definitely put some thought into it. The article said that some of the kids were ADD kids. For the most part, ADD kids also have higher IQs. I figure the ADD kids were the leaders.
And for the clean up, they could probably cut the teacher up. It doesn't take much to saw with a serrated knife, and a 90 lb. 3rd grader could easily break bones after a but of cutting. I had read a few Poe stories by the time I was in the 3rd grade, so I could have easily thought of just cutting the victim to pieces.
On a side note, I assume the teacher was probably a bit worse then just telling someone to step down off a chair.
Edit: Cartilage, your probably right, kids are exposed to an awful lot of violence, be it on Tv, Video Games, or Movies.
