It’s hard to decide which is worse: answering to the law or answering to your parents?
Two Philadelphia teenagers found themselves paying the ultimate price for the robbery of a 9-year-old girl last Friday (March 8) in the city’s East Germantown neighborhood. After watching the young child pay for her items at a local market, the 13- and 14-year-old boys approached the girl while leaving the store, stole her wallet and fled the scene.
Their spoils? $13.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, police collected the security-camera footage and released it to various news and social media outlets. After bringing in hundreds of views, the mother of one teen boy turned her son in around 11:30 p.m. that night. The second boy’s parents called to turn in their son about an hour later.
Both teens, unidentified minors, were questioned and charged with robbery and related offenses. They were later sent home to their parents, where we believe the real punishment began.
