There is quite a bit of debate on another forum (where I learned of this article) as to how the UK justice system will handle this. Truly horrific, but is rehab/discipline worth doing on someone this age commiting this sort of crime, or should something more swift and definitive be done and just remove him from society ASAP?

A teenager beat an 83-year-old woman senseless after telling friends that he wondered what it would be like to kill someone.
Joseph Phillips, 15, repeatedly struck Kathleen Hutchings with her walking stick as she lay defenceless in her bed.
Phillips shattered her eye socket and broke her left wrist, a court heard.
She is now blind in one eye and has had to move to a care home because the attack left the once independent and spirited woman confused and unable to look after herself.
