What is this world coming to. This lady needs some real jail time, but it doesn't look like its gonna happen.
A Manhattan woman who sent her 12-year-old son to stage a bank robbery is expected to get minimal jail time under a plea agreement. A bank teller who was in on the job will serve no jail time. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly calls the plea deal "absurd." Prosecutors told the New York "Daily News" that the women involved were not charged with robbery because the heist was an inside job. Instead, they were charged with misdemeanor child endangerment and felony grand larceny, which can mean up to seven years in prison if convicted at trial. The bank teller, who lives with the boy's grandmother, handed the 12-year-old $30 thousand when he passed her a note on August 28th. Kelly says, in his opinion, it was abuse of the child.
When did sending a kid to rob a bank become a simple misdemeanor? Should I be worried or mad about this? I am.
