Police say the 7 to 8-year-old girl hid the toys under her coat and tried to walk out the door.

A store employee was watching and approached the child, asking her to turn over the Lego blocks.

Police say the little girl then opened her jacket and displayed a combo carving knife with a forked point and a 10" blade, saying she was armed for protection.

The employee talked the girl into putting down the knife and the toys.

The girl then rode away on her bicycle.

The employee was not hurt.

Dude, what a pussy. Slap her and call the cops on her ass. Does displaying a weapon with possible harmful intent warrant shooting? If so, I'm all for it.

They should have retain her, and ask her parents to come recover her.

Where is this world going to???

Kids grow up so fast today. 7 years-old kids dress like hookers and gansta, oops I mean popstars and rappers, now they act the part too.

I am not a big fan of hitting kids, but that kid would have gotten a smack - not even a hard one - just a good old fashioned back of the head "you are an idiot" smack.

ROFL!!! The mental picture is TOO much!!!!!!

I imagined the little girl in FEAR with a red jacket on opening it up to reveal a knife. Am I mentally unstable?

It's like something out of a Charles Dickens story. Part of society seems to be reverting to the early 19th century ethics. Soon some adults will be using kids as gangs of thieves. Wait, they already do in places because the kids are considered too young by the justice system.
