An 8-year-old boy is in custody after attempting to rob a Florida grocery store at gunpoint.

“He went through the entry door and very quietly, very confidently,” said one clerk, who did not want to be identified. “He was wearing like a motorcycle helmet, and he was wearing a sweater over his mouth. He was only showing his eyes.”

The mother needs to serve time for this. Freaking moron!

Her right to possess a firearm should be revoked. She has demonstrated herself unfit to possess one.

But that won't happen. Prosecutors coddle people who do an 'ooops!' with their firearms. More often than not, they don't even lose the firearm.

There is no accountability.

Only in Florida...

This is also the fault of the mother as well. She needs to have her gun taken away.

Probably an old family tradition. He's being trained well.

Why does so much of this kind of crap happen in FL? Must be from all the sunshine & something in the water.

I'd like to hear the kid's story before jumping to conclusions.
