You know, I wouldn't have been surprised to see that burglary happen in July, but yesterday at 1:17 pm? Shouldn't those little miscreants been in school? Or did school get out early yesterday? Or is the school just happy to have them skip because, if they weren't out wreaking havoc in the neighborhood, they'd be doing the same thing in the school?

Oh, well, at least they were all released to their parents, so we know they all got a stern talking to, perhaps some much-needed corporal punishment and the odds of this ever happening again are slim, right? Right???

Probably released to GRANDparents, because the parents are probably in jail- just like they'll be as soon as they're old enough.

I lived on that street in the past and know from experience most of those kids live in the streets day and night.They hang on the street corner at Kent St. or in the parking lot behind the Hammond st townhomes,drinking with the older hoodlums.When you have an unsupervised 12 yr old with a 27 yr old mother with 5 or 6 other kids and a boyfriend or two,this is what is going to happen.Society has let this happen.Bring back family values,eliminate the welfare-nanny state and things may improve.

Probably the same ones who kicked down my fence that borders Jefferson St.

Was wondering myself why those kids were not in school the first day? At such a young age too! I can't believe children this age are committing such a terrible crime! That is a rough neighborhood. I agree that they are probably left unsupervised while the parents are strung out or drunk or in jail. Very sad. Imagine what crimes they will be moving on to do when they get older?

The sad irony of it all is that they are an at age where they could still be saved if the right person could intervene.They have no one to look up to and no one to fear.There is nobody at home who is going to kick their butts when they skip school to run the streets.In another few years they may be too hardened to turn back.
