Children as young as eight are being taught to commit crimes by 'their parents' and have been reportedly ransacking businesses in New York City.
In what's been dubbed the modern day Oliver Twist, the New York Post reported that the young crooks have been terrorizing bars on the east and west of Manhattan and Brooklyn for months.
A typical crime spree will vary from kids snatching cash from unattended bags to stealing cash from open safes with two businesses hit in the past two weeks.
In the first instance children try to solicit money under the guise of raising funds for their sports teams, for example, before fleecing their targets for anything they can find.
Most disturbingly, business owners told the Post that they've seen adults waiting for children outside the targeted businesses.
'The weird thing is it just feels like a modern day 'Oliver Twist' story,' a manager at Lexington Publick, one of several of owner Jacob Rabinowitz's bars hit over the past few months.
'When they go out, there's either a man or a woman waiting for them and directing. These are little kids, this is child abuse!' Rabinowitz said.
Its believed the crime wave started about eight months ago, when two children repeatedly targeted Amsterdam Ale House on West 76th Street on the Upper West Side - taking whatever they could get their hands on.
This took a turn in February when the outlet reported the pair grabbed food off a table, pushed a customer and brandished a knife, manager Whitney Kaufam told the Post.
'I watched a kid take a wing off someone's plate and eat it,' Kaufman said.

When you deny the 10 Commandments, what is the basis for laws against theft?
At one level, it’s you wouldn’t want to be stolen from.
At another level, it’s that the risk of being caught and punished is worse than the gain from stealing.
To poor people, the first has little meaning. And, when you decriminalize theft, the second doesn’t either.
Hence, Democrat cities are becoming places of anarchy.
But, thinking about theft, even if you’re a God damned atheist, you might want to teach children the 10 Commandments. Perhaps, as they mature, they can deal with the two reasons I describe above. At least, if they achieve a measure of success in life. But, really, a country of God damned atheists is headed to the ant heap of history.
As Ronald Reagan put it, If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
Finally. Perhaps this story will serve to kill the ubiquitous and stupid comment, “where are the parents”?
As I’ve often replied, “ who do you think their parents are “?
Couldn’t happen to a nicer City, hope all the youngsters join in!
Maybe you can move to the Ukraine ? I know you’re a big fan of the climate there. ;-)
“Parent.” Dads aren’t in the picture.
America is morally dead and nobody could convince me otherwise. We are so lost we allow evil to have it’s will with us out of cowardice and lethargy.

Saw this in Des Moines. Young black girl was sent in to a grocery store, 6 or 7 years of age, with a day to fill up. The black community was enraged, at the store, because she was caught and charged with shoplifting, all on camera. Not sure how the cops dealt with this as the fault was clearly on the parents, oh wait, the sperm donor is probably long gone. That would be then the mother. Quite the culture...
Both sides are. The right stands for capitalism, freedom, and patriotism or so they say, yet many supported sending our manufacturing, technology, and money to a communist nation with a long list of human rights abuses. Why? To save $.10 on communist made paint brushes.
In the process, we cut our own Veterans and children out of those high paying jobs. Now we have a homeless Vet problem and our kids are rioting instead of holding down careers. But we love our Vets.
And after all of this, where are those cheaper prices and benefits to the consumer the free traitors promised us?
Hey why not? Our politicians don’t follow the law, our justice system doesn’t follow the laws, so why should they. The only people that think the law still applies are suckers like us.
This is why the Georgetown DC lib hypocrites didn’t want Metro stations in that area when the system was built. They knew even way back then what it would lead to.
I grew up in NYC and this sort of thing was common in the 1970s. It just didn’t make the papers.
