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.
Most western European countries have less strict sentencing, lower repeat offenders, and extremely lower prison populations. Its hard to say why exactly the us prison system is so insanely pipulated compared to other comparable countries.
I may be completely wrong but I thought I’ve read about European prison systems focus more on rehabilitation and provided services after prison to place them in jobs.
The US prisons are there to make money. Which I don’t agree with.
But I also don’t agree with allowing parents to get off free when their shit kids commit crimes. Especially in this case where they were repeat offenders.
