"By girl I think they are referring to the tazed 11 year old but what in the blue blazes was her 9 year old sister doing out at such an hour?"

It's amazing what kids get up to these days. I grew up in the 50's, graduated from high school in '65. I was 18, working full-time, living at home, paying room and board, and still had to be home before midnight. During the summer when we were kids, we had to be in the house by 9 p.m. or earlier, depending on what my mother's orders were. There were four of us. We never snuck out of the house.

At 11, no matter the season, my bedtime ( that meant actually being in bed! )was 9:00P.M. and if I got up ( which I didn't ), my parents would have known about it; let alone leaving the house!

And this was NOT the first time that that girl was in that store, at that hour, shoplifting!

At 11 years old (and until I had my first job @ 14 years old), I had to be in bed before 9pm.
