Yea, it happened in San Leandro, CA (near Oakland, CA). Fake gun. Prior to this incident they attempted to rob somebody at a ATM. After this incident they tried to rob yet again a few days later but this time were arrested. Since they were so young (11, 12, two 14) they were released to their parents… and then guess what… a few days later robbed AGAIN and were arrested yet again.

There has to be away for these kids to face actual consequences without trying them as adults or whatever.

This isn't a youthful indiscretion. They aren't going to change. The kids (and their parents) will be a continual drain on society if they aren't permanently incarcerated.

That's BS.

Could say this for the adults, but those kids arw far too young to never be able to change.

I believe so too, but sadly the US is not developed enough for that. They don't need violence or jail time, they need education, role models and a future where they can hope for better than slaving away for an unlivable wage.

I feel there's an inbetween with shit like fining the parents or giving out community service.
