Are There Any Health Centers For Klinefelter S Syndrome?

I have a nephew that has Klienfelters syndrome. He also has been diagnosed bipolar, anxiety disorder, conduct disorder, OCD to name a few. He is a teenager and in lots of trouble with the law. Things like cigarette fines, puffing, not coming home on time. etc. All are bad but the courts keep fining my sister, they give him community service that never gets done. Now you get the picture. In my eyes he is a scared mentally challenged child. He does not have the ability to conform to the rules set in front of him. He has had an IEP since 1st grade, The social workers and attorneys just say when he commits a real crime then he will go to Juenenile Hall. Is there any place for this kid? It is not his fault that he looks normal. If he looked like a down syndrome child the behaviors would be acceptable. I do not want him in jail. America does not have mental health facilities anymore. It seems to be jail. HELP
