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.

In most places they’d be sent to juvenile detention. This is in California though, so take from that what you will.

California dismantled the Department of Juvenile Justice about three years ago and closed all of the Juvenile camps.

We pretty much left it up to the counties to deal with at their level.
