I know this sounds crazy!
If two kids, aged 13 and 14, were at a party together and the 14-year-old stabs a 20-year-old woman by mistake while very high on narcotics, and the boys are arrested, would any detention facility house them longterm in the same 2-person cell while in detention permitting they were both on good behavior? (Keep in mind that the 14-y-o is now sober. The two kids are the youngest, smallest in the whole place. Visibly shaken, no records. They are also white, not a minority group.) It is obvious it was a mistake, but neither boy will talk and no one knows specifically what happened.
Also, if the boy that plead guilty in Juvenile Court what can he expect his sentence to be? Adult court?
Would the other boy be held responsible in any way? He was just sitting there and had no control over what happened.
If the boys were brought in, obviously scared, would they be put into the population gradually or right away?
What would they do in YOUR area? PLEASE!
