Latest word is that the culprits were 11, 12, and 14 year old girls. They are facing felony vandalism charges. Isn't it a little harsh to charge a ten year old child with a felony?

For those who can't see past the RCN paywall, WATE reported on this yesterday, with a photo of the devastation: (link...)
I'm of a mixed mind on the harshness of a felony charge for an 11-, 12-, or 14-year-old child. The part of me that scrimps to help get needed items into classrooms says that those girls are old enough to know that what they were doing was wrong. Many children here have so little already. To try to destroy the little they do have is inexcusable.
Another part of me says that as long as the girls have no prior offenses, fully repay the damages they caused, and get supervised probation and extensive counseling, that might be enough.

What ten year old? I
What ten year old? I thought they were 11, 12, and 14? What should they be charged with? The crime is vandalism and the damage will exceed $10,000.00 so that would be a felony amount of damage. Not sure the police would have any choice but to charge a felony.
