Doesn't look like these kids were being raised at all.

Sad society here:

Parents/family failed
Kids failed/will pay the price

If the kids got shot by cops responding then we would have riots in the streets, Ben Crump would be at the scene with a freshly printed lawsuit in hand!

Which one of the boys is supposedly only 11 years old?

They look 8. Those are tiny preteens/teen.

Little rascals... seriously?
No, three kids on the way to become serious criminals.

Once the photos were released, HCSO started getting tips from the public. Parents of two of the boys came forward and identified them, the sheriff's office said. The third boy was handled by a law enforcement agency following a fight and recognized. The sheriff's office said authorities recovered a weapon and a distinctive item pictured in one of the photos.

Bank didn't have security working there?

They need to get a grand tour of San Quentin or Rikers Island.

Those kids knew they were doing wrong, no need to punish the parents.

An 11 and 12-year-old arrested in connection with Houston bank robbery.

Give it five years and kiddie armed robbery/shootings will have become normalized.

At that age, parents are still largely responsible for their kids. A 12 year old robbing a bank is definitely the result of some seriously bad parenting, neglect, and/or both.

I've thought of doing this when I hit 84. Surely they don't throw 84 year olds in Prison.

I agree. Older kids in high school who do things like this are fueled by hormones. The neglect and abuse of their youth gets a serious boost at that age.
