Toddler Calls 911 For Doughnuts

^^^ What if the parents only encourage what the authorities bring to the table. Sometimes what a parent does for a kid isn't enough to get through to them. The girl who got arrested could have a history of bad behavior making this prank on the law only an escalation of what they are already guilty of.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Years ago, I remember an eleven-year-old and a thirteen-year-old making the news because they got busted for a murder that they were both in on. The eleven-year-old did the actual shooting and the other kid was the sidekick. I believe 1998 somewhere in the state of Oregon is when and where it happened. I don't know what their sentences were, but the responsibility was never once dumped on their parents.

I don't see how you can arrest an 11 year old. Legally, they are not responsible for their actions. And they are a child which should not be removed from their parents, the separation can do great harm to them. You don't teach them a "lesson," if anything, you simply fine the parents for the prank call to help urge them to take steps that the kid doesn't do it again.

An eleven year old is old enough to know right from wrong.

An eleven year old is old enough to know right from wrong.

Probably to varying extents from individual to individual, but still not legally responsible for their actions as a minor. Still, at eleven, you would hope they would.
