Milwaukee, WI

Ok, you all heard my ranting from the above story, now another one hits my desk. A 17-year-old south suburb, Greenfield girl conspired with a 14 and 16 years old, to rob her parents at gunpoint. Did you miss that last word? Gunpoint!

She had it all planned to have these two boys come in at GUNPOINT to rob her parent’s as a home invasion. Local Police responded to the home at 4:36 a.m. on July 26.

The parents where awoken by a teen brandishing a handgun and demanding money and a gun. The boys where later apprehened and provided a statement to the detectives implicating the victims’ daughter in the execution of the crime. She later confessed and was taken to the Milwaukee County Jail where she is pending formal charges of armed robbery. The boys have been referred to the Milwaukee County Children’s Court Center.

This goes on to say what the heck is it with people under 18 years old in Milwaukee lately. We have 12 years with sledgehammers and 17 year old planning a armed home invasion. Is there something in the water? No the problem honestly is the city. What is there for kids to do at night? They build a club, it gone because of gun fire. They build a skater park, its shut down because of violence. What is it going to take to save this around here? That is something the local guys should push, instead of the local Crate and Barrel or Cheesecake Factory. Give the ages something to do!
