Chicago police have charged an 11-year-old boy with robbing a man nearly six times his age on a CTA train. He worked with a 14-year-old girl to commit the crime, police said.

The pair robbed the 62-year-old inside a Red Line train car at State-Lake around 7:30 p.m. on May 24, according to police.

CPD said the girl also robbed a 41-year-old man at the Clark-Division station about 40 minutes later. This victim was also on a Red Line train.

Both juveniles are charged with robbery of a victim over the age of 60. The girl faces an additional charge of robbery.

Yogi has to ask, WTF IS :??? charged with robbery of a victim over the age of 60.

is it a greater fine/longer jail time or what ???

The 11 y/o boy has probably been released ‘into his parents custody’ by now. When he gets home, his Mom plans to punish him for NOT bringing home at least $50. in stolen goods for a days ‘work’. She might even take his MJ Vapes away from him for a day or two, is how disgusted she feels. //

It’s considered elder abuse.

Even here in Texas there is a crime charge of Abusing the Elderly.

Now sure about the details, but am aware it exists.

The gypsies in Europe use their kids for all sorts of robberies. But they don’t strong arm you. One will distract while the other picks you pockets. Or, the adults will block the aisle on the train as the kids run out with bags and suit cases. Or, the little bastards will sit behind you and cut a hole in your back pack with a razor. There’s a reason they are universally hated.

Too bad... The little gangers will both probably be dead by 20.

Crimes against a senior citizen?... Yes, penalties increase.

Well, I'm a little older, but you're a senior whether you like it or not. So... Suck it up junior.
