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.

This seems kinda silly to me.
A 16-year-old cannot be allowed to house sit by himself?
How far was he from home? The article does not say.
It would have been better to leave the boy at the house. $500,000 bond on the parents seems rather excessive.
run along little boy, you’re free!
Guam or Idaho ?..
.
How about Acapulco.
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.
Not sure the legality of giving two pistols to a 16 year old in Florida. In NYS it's a no no.
They were given by the parents.
Florida law has an exception for possession of unloaded firearms in the home or hunting or target practice or transporting a firearm to and from those events, for 16-year-old people.
As the 16-year-old was on his way home, it might fall under the transporting law...
LOL, yes he was, after being abandoned by his parents, which is a whole other conversation.
They were driving to Guam?
Sounds like something I would do.
The parents were nutjobs but that $500k bail is way excessive. It’s not like they left the kid in extreme danger. After all they did leave him with “a bag of guns” lol.
When I was a kid my parents moved a lot. But I always found them.
Good old fashioned Saber Rattling!
LOL
ICE ICE BABY
And what crime(s) did those two “guns” get involved in?
LOL!
Not if the judge determined that they’re flight risks
What's so weird about it? Where do you think 'Florida Man' comes from?
At 16 with guns and money I could easily survived
Ha!
