Ransom them back to their parents for large fines, and let Mom and/or Dad impress upon the youth the foolishness of their actions.”

Right.

"Dad" is nowhere to be found.

"Mama" is too high on crack to notice.

"Meemaw" does nothing but wail and moan about how her "precious angel don' do nuttin' wrong".

Nobody will pay the ransom.

Then what? Sell them into slavery?

Aside from the basic immorality of slavery, they would probably be totally useless slaves.
