My guess would be that he is being tried as an adult and thus not eligible for the protections afforded to juveniles.

Tried as an adult for a hack on a social media site?

Don't expect reason or a sense of proportionality from USA "justice system". Prosecuting a social media hack will get a lot more attention than prosecuting e.g. some common crime of violence. Prosecutors are basically the worst people in USA. (In case you're wondering, yes they are worse than police.)
