If the juvenile has simply gotten into trouble as a repeat runaway; into trouble without harming other people and the juvenile has remorse then the courts should not punish the juvenile, but they could use 'house arrest' or a parole officer to contain the actions of juvenile if they continue to get into trouble. If the juvenile has committed a serious crime such as murder then they should be held in a Juvenile facility until they are old enough to go to court for that murder and should receive the punishment in accordance to that State's law.
