When someone puts the boy down then the family will care and protest the police for not doing anything.

[janetkim]

obviously his parent(s) don't give a crap about him

[carolyn]

Someone is paying him to do their dirty work. He’s 12 years old stealing luxury cars! Trying to steal a box truck? Yeah, some is paying him to have those vehicles stolen.

[robin]

Why is he still on the streets??? It's obvious his family can't control him and he's going to keep being a menace. Will someone have to be serious hurt or killed before he's locked up??? Some of these kids nowadays are different!

[TheChamp]

"Unless he is 13 or commits a violent crime, he can't be arrested." That is why it keeps happening.

[MikeCad]

Where are his parents? Why is he OUTSIDE so late?!

[rirkc]

Major parenting fail. Parents should be investigated and charged.

[janibeg]

Whoever has custody of the young gentleman needs to be in jail.

[gimpygardner]

When he gets shot by the cops at 3 in the morning like Adam Teledo in Chicago, his mother will blame police. This kids parents should be charged with neglect.

[MrDarryl]

So juveniles can't wear court-ordered ankle monitors?

[Rayjack-mo]

His age should not be a get out of jail card Adult crimes should receive Adult punishments.

[eddieraffs]

12 years old and he's beyond being reformed.

[jaredjames]

Why isn’t he in juvenile detention? Something is definitely wrong with him

[cedricjackson]

Why aren't the parents being charged with the same crime? The child is committing.

[maestrovso]

He is a criminology prodigy at 12 years old. This could only come from great nurturing of the parent(s).

[tpolerex]

Imagine if there were consequences for dangerous serial criminality?

[babajinde]

Time to eliminate the age loophole for property theft?

[paulskopic]

Perhaps removing a hand would stop his crime spree?

[mikeokeefe]

Usual suspect growing up with no consequences

[fferrari]

His parents should be held responsible and ordered to pay restitution.

Stop codd ling these punks and their parents. Hold them accountable.
