Two 10-Year-Olds Mug Grandmother in Crown Heights
Two 10-year-olds robbed a 67-year-old woman on a Crown Heights street corner on Monday afternoon, police said. The senior was at Empire Boulevard and Rogers Avenue at 2 p.m. when five tykes approached her, the youngest aged 4, according to the Daily News.
The victim thought they were asking for change, and was prepared to give it to them when the prepubescent pair allegedly demanded her bag instead. The two kids grabbed her purse and, when she wouldn’t let go, police say one punched her in the face. The other three children weren’t involved in the robbery.
Gothamist reports that cops found the suspects nearby and one allegedly put up a fight while being arrested. Both reportedly face juvenile robbery charges, and one was hit with an additional rap for resisting arrest. A police spokesman said he did not have charging information, but that the children were released to their parents.

I feel bad for them. Who’s teaching them how to behave? It’s so sad that this is all they know… (liberal speaking or sarcastic conservative)

SOCIAL WORKERS SHOULD BE CHECKING THEIR HOMES FOR EVIDENCE OF PARENTAL NEGLECT AND ABUSE
CH mother...
Absolutely correct.
shaking my head
what is the world coming to
FOSTER CARE was made for kids like this
the children were released to their parents.
Wonderful.
Their parents didn’t take care of them till now.
I bet these are kids who were brought into this world only so their welfare-mom with a missing baby-daddy could get a bigger apartment, and more welfare money.

Your comment is not appropriate and is not nice u should be embarrassed and apologize to the crown heights community for putting down children and a yeshiva for senseless hatred
Awacs
Uh, please refer to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm
then post back.
to MSW
I agree. What are they doing about this????
these innocent children, left alone without a support system, are vulnerable to negative and lawless influences. This goes back ultimately to the mayor, who is really being a Liberal about most issues, which does nothing much.
awacs, millhouse,etc
do these guys look at articles more than once just in case someone answerd them.
really???
Awacs
Not sure of your question, but i’m flattered you put me together with milhouse. FWIW, i believe he’s a lawyer, too.

When the news trumpets the fact that an Orthodox Jew or a rabbi is arrested for a crime, then you say, what does his religion have to do with it? Must be anti semitic. But all of a sudden you want to make sure his race is mentioned.
Awacs
Yes.
When it comes to street crime, i want to know WHO is doing it, so i know who(m) to avoid.
For the average white collar crime, what do i care who does it? I have no way of protecting myself.
Otoh, if someone is arrested for molesting kids, i sure want to know who, and antisemitism a hin or a her.
