A Florida couple was arrested last week after police said they abandoned their 16-year-old son on the side of the road with a bag full of guns.
The parents, Bradley Leon Guerrero Santos, 36, and Rosanella Mendiola Borja, 35, are facing child neglect charges.
Police in North Port, a city near Sarasota, received a 911 call on the evening of October 1 about 'a suspicious male' who was walking south on the northbound side on Interstate-75, according to a probable cause affidavit.
An officer approached the boy, who reluctantly identified himself as the child of Santos and Borja.
He said that when he got home from school that day, his parents told him they were taking a trip.
After he walked the family dog, he saw them 'frantically throwing clothes into two duffel bags' before rushing the him and his eight-year-old sibling into the car, the affidavit said.
Once the teenager was told that their destination was 'either Guam or Idaho', he said he didn't want to go, police said.
That's allegedly when Santos and Borja kicked him out of the car, leaving him with two semiautomatic pistols in a bag and some cash. He was also told to 'take care of the house', police said.

Astonishing. At least we’ve identified two adults that need to be prosecuted and jailed and off the streets and away from children.
These depraved abominations calling themselves parental units need some serious prison time.
“It’s either Guam or Idaho, pick one!”
Sounds like those kooky parents were fleeing an oncoming threat. What could they have been so afraid of?
Wonder who they’re running from?
Probably the dude they stole drugs from.
They literally profit from lying and misleading in the headline and the opening sentence.

Prayers for this young man and for his erstwhile family.
Well. At least they left him with a bag of guns.
That was my first thought. Immediately.
Agreed. And for all we know, the 16-year-old ran away from his parents instead of being abandoned.
I once read a article in a newspaper referring to a kid that shot an arrow into the sky, only to be hit by his own arrow (forget if it killed him) as a “bloodbath
.”
Hyperbole is an understatement when it comes to our media.

This happened to my Great Grandfather. The father died, mom remarried and her new husband said that he had two kids and she had two. One of each had to go. Do my ggfather got the nod. He grew up to be a very hard man, but he did manage to get a lot of farmland and did take care of his family.
Thats Funny right There!
