In order for the teenager to be put back into the community the right way, they must get psychological help. Unfortunately, getting the proper help that is needed, is expensive. It is extremely hard on the families of the teens who have been tried as adults, both physically, emotionally, and financially. Adding the extra burden of getting psychological help is exhausting. If a young individual does not get the right help, if any at all, then it is a horrible cycle. A cycle of a person getting into trouble again and again, just so they can have food in their bellies and a roof over their head, because they have nowhere else to go. As for Roksana Sikorski, her mother “made a final plea for a judge to grant her daughter mercy when he sentenced her for her role in a plot to kill their family” (Herrera 1). Teenagers should be tried as adults if they commit a felony because a felony is a felony no matter what age a person is and because teens know what is right and what isn’t. This is an endless topic of controversy. Roksana Sikorski will be paying her 10-20 years in prison, and until she turns 18, she will be at a juvenile
