The young teen, identified only as Jericho W., escaped from social services' custody at about 12:10 p.m. local time while wearing leg restraints and no shoes, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff's office said the boy was in court facing two counts of first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon charges.

Jericho was last seen wearing a white shirt and beige pants. He's also described as being about 5 feet tall and approximately 110 pounds.

Although state law typically prohibits law enforcement agencies from releasing photographs of juveniles, the North Carolina Department of Public Safety issued a photo of Jericho so that the public could call police to report any sightings.

"Division officials have a high degree of concern for the safety of both the juvenile and the public, due to a prior history of assaultive and unpredictable behavior," the department said.

Most had a mother who didn’t love them

Sometimes we’d go over the rap sheets of our charges. Many had truly horrible upbringings. Poverty, of course, drug use by mom (and dad, if present—usually not) had a few that got into knife fights with siblings at home. At about the point where everyone was agreeing “no wonder he’s here”, someone would point out that his brothers and sisters weren’t locked up.

As to your point, I guess it is a chicken-and-egg kind of thing. Mom didn’t love him, and so he went bad, or he was so bad from such a young age that mom could no longer love him. Could be both.

Some one did a study a long time ago. Third or fourth graders could accurately predict which of their classmates would eventually be in prison. I can see why, in many cases they could.

He’d be thirty-five when he got the needle.

He’s out there, ready for you to adopt.

Why don’t you just execute him yourself...he’s 13....sounds like a fair fight to me.

[Trailerpark Badass]

If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan properly.

You talk too much
