I don't see any problem with any of these "Children" being charged and/or convicted with but I do wonder what you can actually do with them ...
I'm of the opinion that the younger a person is the more likely it is that you can have an impact on preventing future crimes. The problem is that these "Children" are obviously not in a family which can adequately give them moral, ethical and empathetic values that are in line with our culture, and juvenile detention facilities and foster care seems to be about the same.
As for the girl being shunned, this is actually an expected outcome and it isn't as bad as it could have been. (Primarily) in Islamic nations there is a belief that if a girl has sex outside of marriage she is dishonoring her family, and this even goes to the extreme level of assuming that a woman did something to encourage being raped. Because we have high levels of immigration from these Islamic nations, and most of the immigrants are living in culturally uniform communities, a large portion of the population can live in our countries without ever abandoning the values of their homeland.
