Some kids are primarily focused on the here and now, while others are more about crafting an idealized tomorrow for themselves.
For the latter, learning (or having compelling reason to believe) that their future is irrevocably fucked is about as devastating as it gets.
L-Pink was right, a good lawyer could have convinced the kid that things weren't nearly as hopeless as he thought.
