A woman in her 50s was sleeping in her home Monday afternoon along the 1200 block of Luzerne Street, when Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey says, “These three kids were in the house, they began to hit her with sticks and ropes. When she got up, they threw a potted plant at her, they stole $20 from her purse and pretty much trashed the house.”

The woman knew one of the boys from the block. He’s in custody.

“The one child we have is 10-years-old, and there are two others that we’ll probably get today, we estimate them to be nine or 10-years-old as well.”

Some kind of charges need to happen, otherwise they'll just think "hey! They're not going to do anything to us so let's keep on doing it!"

Until they rob and kill somebody at age 15.

OP is blocked for me so here we go. Srsly WTF

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — An Eyewitness News exclusive — a violent home invasion has Philadelphia police hunting for some preteen suspects.

Authorities say they beat a 51-year-old woman with some unusual items, including a plunger.

Police say it happened around 3:30 p.m. on Monday in the 1200 block of Luzerne Street.

Authorities say a family friend found the victim in the backyard, on her knees, crying and begging for her life to be spared.

When police arrived, they found her room ransacked, cabinets emptied and the victim, an Asian female with mental disabilities, beaten and robbed.

“They hit her in the face with a rock, they used rope and also sticks and a potted plant,” Lt. John O’Hanlon explained.

Police say the three suspects, described by the victim as black juveniles, ran away with the victim’s purse. Police were eventually able to identify the suspects as 7, 10 and 12-year-old boys.

“It’s amazing that these kids so young can be so violent,” Lt. O’Hanlon added.

We talked to the victim’s family friend who asked that we don’t identify her. “They just followed her. She just got back from doing laundry. When she got home, they beat her and threw stuff into the house.”

The victim was rushed to Temple University Hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises to her face and knees.

The family friend added, “They kept asking for money and they took her purse with some important paper in there.”

Neighbor Edward Pastoriza said, “It doesn’t surprise me. A lot of these kids, they hang around with older kids and they learn how to do things like this.”

It turns out, the 10-year-old suspect was a neighbor of the victim. He was arrested almost immediately.

The victim’s family friend explained, “The parents came to apologize and after they saw what happened, they said to call the police.”

Lt. O’Hanlon added, “The mother knew something was wrong when she saw the police and she basically came outside and said, ‘Here he is.’”

As of late Monday, police say they believe they have identified the remaining two suspects as 7 and 12-year-old boys. Police expect to arrest them shortly and charge the 10 and 12-year-olds with Home Invasion Robbery and related offenses.

By law, we are told, the 7-year-old is too young to be charged with a crime.

The sad thing is, nothing will happen to them really. Minors have to commit murder to get any serious punishment.

As to whoever says they'd shoot them...I'm not saying I would or wouldn't. I'd do my best not to, but if one of them had a gun, then yes, I'd shoot the little fucker, and LIVE with the guilt afterwards.
 
I got surrounded walking my dog by a gang of 8-10 year old kids. They started swinging rolled up posterboards at my dog to antagonize him in to biting one of the them and were telling me to fuck off.

I called the police after and they were worthless. Neighbors on that block told me these same kids have vandalized cars, destroyed US mail and other threats. They live in a home with four other families (against code) and no one is doing anything...their older siblings are all gang bangers. Sad part is we are footing the bill for the place as they were given asylum from Haiti.

that is fvcked up....what makes matters worse is if you attempt to defend yourself or your dog (with non lethal means, i.e. pepperspray, etc), they will just try to get revenge on you and it will escalate into alot worse...

Why would you feel guilty about shooting a home invader 😕
 
lol wow that's pretty sad. My oldest nephew is 10, I can't imagine someone at that age doing this. But obviously they seemed to know what they were doing, and should get charged accordingly. Too bad it's not going to happen. They'll probably get a speech "If you were 18 this is what would happen, now don't do it again". For a 10 year old 18 is a long way to go. These kids will be nothing but trouble as they grow up.

What sucks is had she defended herself then she'd probably be in trouble. Can't win. :/

Want to make any other assumptions about the kids?

I was a bad kid when I was young. Threw rocks and shit at cars passing by, set shit on fire, etc. , but that was minor property damage.
Not once did I ever think about physically harming another human being. These kids already have.

I carry a knife and Fox 5.3 OC spray. The cop/dispatch told me if I sprayed them in order to get away he'd have to arrest me at the time. I have no idea what would then happen to my dog. If my dog would have bit one of the little bastards I am sure I'd be looking at a lawsuit.

on what grounds would he arrest you if you were defending your dog from being provoked?
