Olson ordered the boy, whose name has not been made public, to repay nine parties a total of $36.6 million. вЂњThe juvenile restitution framework is rationally related to the juvenile delinquency goals of вЂpersonal responsibility, accountability and reformation within the context of public safety.вЂ™ Given the statutory safety valves, I am satisfied that the restitution scheme does not вЂshock the moral sense of reasonable people.'вЂќ вЂњIn short, IвЂ™m satisfied that the restitution ordered in this case bears a sufficient relationship to the gravity of the offenses for which the youth was adjudicated,вЂќ Olson wrote in a decision released Monday morning.
