I have to be honest, I have avoided a lot of the story itself simply because of my emotional state, but even if she did, there will be others. We live in a free country and once we hit 18 that's that. You are on your own. You can't start locking people up on a hunch that one day they might be a danger to society. It's just one of the holes we can never patch.
