As said, it's a tough call... for the judge, for her parents, and for herself. We won't know if it's the right decision until years later... we can only hope for the best.

As said, it’s a tough call… for the judge, for her parents, and for herself. We won’t know if it’s the right decision until years later… we can only hope for the best.
