“The same somebody that left a child unattended in an unlocked vehicle in Kokomo?”..
Nope! The kid was intentionally armed with a weapon and stationed inside the truck (as a “guard”) to ward off any attempt that might be made to steal the truck or kidnap him. Love it when a plan comes together.
Protection of young family members and personal property is why families have parents. It’s not the job of, God bless him, a brave 9 YO child. If I were one of the LEOs involved, I’d be having a few choice words with whonever was transporting Master Larrimore.
