Trying minors as adults

Today there is an editorial in NYT about this issue.It is important that we treat our children with special care and nurture them ,encourage them so they may become productive and hopefully outstanding citizens.
When children commit crimes many times states in their desire to punish them have tried these children as adults and done excessive harm to society as whole.More prisoners have just left us broke.
Can we train families to take care of young children in risk and help them so they may become productive members of our society. Parenting and ideal parenting should be taught in school .Any body single and pregnant wanting to keep the baby should be put through child raising boot camp so they may learn to be good parents .We should also make an effort to pair children at risk with parents with resources and time to care.I always hear that many families are desperate to adopt .let us create a category where a child can have a lifelong relationship with another couple(parents) for nourishment and mutual care.It would be higher than foster parents, less than total adoption where birth parents loose all the rights.May be a hybrid Parenting with children's welfare as focus.
I have read stories of American families adopting extremely handicapped children at cost of 30 to 50 thousand dollars.They have all the ingredients to be part of a needy family which may not have Ware whittles about how to raise exceptional children.
