I am thinking that the 11 year old was at home alone, parent(s) cant afford to put him in summer Kids Club. I hope not.
My sweet grandson is almost 11, just finished 4th grade. If he were left alone at home and a thug broke in, I think my grandson would have been in real trouble.
I used to worry about my boys all the time when they were that age. Now that they're grown, I still worry.
Maybe this 11yo boy was always a sweet, shy boy, too.
Until the day this guy broke in and tried to take his PlayStation. lol
Sounds like You need to do some training in self-defense including Firearms with Your Grandson. Starting with a Baseball Bat, Hockey Stick or Javilin. JMO.
