I'm glad these guys are being punished for their actions, but the wildest part to me is that if they hadn't been taking kickbacks - if they were just Law and Order types who thought sending a 14 year old to boarding school for 9 months was an appropriate punishment for stealing change from unlocked cars, or that sending a 15 year old to wilderness camp for mocking an assistant principal on MySpace - then nothing would have happened and it would still be business as usual. In other words, the issue wasn't wildly punitive sentences for minors committing trivial crimes (or non-crimes); it was that they got paid outside the confines of the system.
