Teen escapes custody again

Ryan Parsley admitted involvement in three South Side fires. The plan was to put Ryan Parsley where he wouldn't escape.

No Third Strike For This Kid. He should sit in a max facility the entire sentence with only time out to shower and walk in a cage. Prepare him for following in his father's footsteps in adult prison.

So who is getting fired over this? Oh I know, nobody!

Let the finger pointing begin.

I'm with the first comment posted... third strike for this little badness, lock him up just like his daddy.

Just like many adults, you have to want help in order to receive it and just because he's only 15, does not mean he can be changed. Let him sit in jail until he's 18 and see if that changes him. If not, he wants to spend a life in prison.

Finally, the dad should get an extra ten years for being a horrible example to his child. We as parents are not perfect but we've got to start holding parents accountable!!!

Considering the way that Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS) is being run now, it will be more similar to a summer camp for him than a max facility like Marion Juvenile Correctional Facility once was...Marion is now closed.

Maybe the powers that be should be considering placing concertina wire {aka "RAZOR WIRE"} at the top of the fence guaranteed that would deter any kid from climbing a fence and maybe if there is at least 1 intelligent person in charge consider a double perimeter fence with Concertina wire at the top since nobody has done "programming with staff" on better communication skills.
just because the facility is in the so-called"middle of nowhere" does not mean that a kid who is obviously "smarter than the staff" as well as street smart can figure out a way out of custody ..REMEMBER kids in custody today watch and monitor staff, and can figure out when it is the right time to escape.kids are a lot more street wise, and by the sound of it he was already planning a way out before he even got there all he was doing is just waiting for the right opportunity and thanks to the lack of communication skills between staff was able to get out. I am not hating on the staff they need to realize that kids today are a lot smarter and dangerous and staff should work together to avoid another escape the supervisors need to ramp up communications skills between their people so that it does not happen again.

Nothing will happen to him. The State ties funding for county juvenile court staff's to how many young criminals go to juvenile prison. For that reason alone, no matter what he or any other young terror does, no one employed by the court (probation, etc.) will ever argue for him or anyone else to be sent to juvenile prison. Even if it became politically impossible to not send him to prison, he is one of 5000 others in exactly the same position, and he's the only one who'll get any justice. Considerably worse individuals who have committed multiple armed robberies and aggravated burglaries sit on probation with no consequence for their endless egregious violations of their supervision and new crimes. The entire system is a joke. It is quite pathetic that the only part of the criminal justice system designed to work in the "child's" interest works 100%, every single time, only in the interest of saving money. It literally trains children to commit crime. You could ask a domestic relations judge about the situation but they would neither know nor care, beyond the effect incarcerating young criminals has on their budget.
