BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- The State Attorney's Office will decide whether to charge two teens who admit they robbed a 9-year-old Girl Scout selling cookies outside of a Boynton Beach supermarket.
"I thought that it was a really mean thing to do, and I was sad after," Girl Scout Gracie Smith told WPBF News 25.
Authorities said that a 17-year-old girl in a hot-pink sweatshirt approached Smith outside of a Winn-Dixie supermarket at Hypoluxo and Jog roads in Boynton Beach Wednesday evening and asked the girl what her favorite cookies were. Police told WPBF that, while Smith was telling the teen about her favorite Cinna-Spins, the teen snatched an envelope containing about $167 off of Smith's table, hopped into another teen's car and drove away.

Nope. First thing in my mind. I threw up a little in my mouth watching those two.
I’m not so sure it’s always God taken out of their lives...Huck’s son had plenty of God and he still managed to cruelly abuse a dog. I don’t think parents are involved enough in their kids lives and I think the kids themselves need more structured activities. A busy kid (Scouts, sports, CAP, theater, Destination Imagination, etc.) is a kid whose not getting into trouble.
Cindie
I’m gonna try that next time I go to a fast food place. If the cashier is a teen, I’ll purposely give them more than what the meal costs and see what they do!
Bet they voted for John McCain!
yep, lindsay and paris. next up, a couch ride with Doperah, a book deal, shrunk by Dr. philly, then God knows what else.
Unbelievable!
Who are they kin to that has political pull?
If they had been poor Whites, Blacks, or Mexican their butts would have been locked up.
I suppose that a better question would have been, which Democrat are they kin to?
I cannot believe these bratty girls were not charged... My father would have hung me by my feet and beat me. I knew better.
In any event, if the charging authorities are truly hesitant to file charges, a complaint should be lodged with the State Attorney General and the local Grand Jury.
She probably go far in the local Democrat Party.
She has a potty mouth, no scrupples or principals and probably morals that would make an alley cat blush.
Fine Democrat material.
I see a great future for them in Durham North Carolina.
I couldn’t agree more!
Since their pictures are prominently shown in the media I suspect they will be scorned and ostracized, and perhaps be made the butt of jokes by some talk show hosts. I wonder though if they won’t be considered heroes to some of their peers.
There was never discipline in the home when they were growing up. Thanks you liberals and “lets not stifle the kiddies”.
Having dial-up makes watching video difficult, but I did go to the link and read the entire story.
I will be sending this thread, with it’s links, to the rest of the mom’s in my daughter’s GS Troop who will be doing such “cookie booths” starting next week. I was Troop “Cookie Mom” last year and so I understand what goes on at these things i front of the supermarkets.......the adults in charge MUST pay attention, CLOSE attention, because these girls can be overwhelmed very quickly.
It’s a shame the father of the one thief who reimbursed the GS didn’t instill a better set of values in his own daughter, but I will give him a bit of credit for taking responsibility, even at this late stage.
Good on W-D for making the donation to the Troop.
I would say Hillary Clinton.
Grrr! I wanted to reach through my computer screen while watching the video and smack those girls!
