LEWISTON, Maine — Lewiston police say they have arrested a 14-year-old boy they accuse of stealing an 11-year-old girl’s purse.
Sgt. Brian O’Malley says the boy robbed the girl shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday on Walnut Street.
Police tell the Sun Journal the boy took the girl’s purse which contained a small amount of cash.
The boy was found a short time later in the downtown Lewiston area.
He was charged with robbery and taken to Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland.
No names were released.
14…the new 30.
Lewiston. Need we say more?
Isn’t it great that being a thug has been made to seem acceptable and even desirable in music and movies? I hope this kid has strong parents that will do the right things to turn him around before he completely destroys his life before it’s even begun.
That would be if he knows who his daddy or momma is.
Wow starting younger all the time, probably saw it in a movie or learned it from a video game….they are always degrading women and praying on them. Sick video creators…sick world.
I would get banned from posting if I wrote what I feel about this little monster!
Must have been a practice run. Seriously how much cash could he expect to get from an 11 year old’s purse?
enough for a pack of smokes maybe…. no I’m wrong, that’s illegal.
Why are we surprised? Words such as honesty and integrity are no longer expressed in our culture. As a matter of fact, many young people find a moral compass laughable. Don’t blame the kid; blame what we’ve given him to live by.
And….blame the 14 year old for his decision…..There is room to blame both!
The boy is probably homeless while his parents are off in a slumped up position, drunk or high seems to b the norm these days, Lewiston is 1 armpit of Maine, throw his sorry @ss in juvy till he’s 21, teach him some manners & morals, a lot of parents & kids need that in the days ahead.
No link to the article about Lewiston being one of the best towns to retire too?
Well, well, this 14 year old sounds like an up and coming winner….I’m sure it will be only a matter of time before we hear about this 14 year old again only as an adult….and where might I ask were his parental type folk?
What the moonsbats in Augusta can never understand is the inmates are running the Asylum
Retired DEA Agent Charged in Sexual Assault of Underaged, Mentally Handicapped Girl
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/01/retired_nutley_dea_agent_arres.html
Authorities on Thursday arrested a retired DEA agent who allegedly
sexually abused an underage, developmentally-delayed girl for almost
five years in Nutley, N.J., reports the website NJ.com.
I’m not sure why this incident became an AP news story. There have 14 year old bullies strong-arming and stealing from younger kids for longer than the 58 years I’ve been around.
If I had done this at age 14 the police would have never be involved….and I would not have been able to sit down for at least a month which would have been the least of my resulting problems……
