The girl's alleged attackers have been charged as adults with first-degree intentional homicide. The girls each face up to 60 years in prison if convicted as adults although if the case moves down to juvenile court the girls could be out by 25. Due to questions regarding the girl’s mental heath condition and their young age defense attorneys argue both girls would receive better mental health treatment in the juvenile system.

Nurses are critical for promoting health in the society. The profession is highly flexible, since they specialize in diverse operations in the medical field. Registered nurses, for instance, are responsible for the administration of medicine and inoculations to patients (American Nurses ' Association, 2000).
