"The mother told police that the boy has a history of bad behavior, including shoplifting from stores and stealing money from her. The mother said he even punched a police officer last month and was arrested for disorderly conduct for it.
"I'm trying to get him some kind of help," she told the Rock Hill Herald."
Someone quipped that "I think some here would have been quite happy to see the thief wasted by the cops." I don't think anyone "would be happy", but that doesn't mean that this kid isn't displaying behavior that might someday put him in a situation where he might end up being shot by a cop.
What do you do with a kid like this? Obviously as noted above, this family has an history of kids raising kids. And that mom and great grandma called the police pretty much says that "dad" isn't around. Do you send him to boot camp? Military school?
