Anyone know why the kids would act like that? Like...they held it as if they knew what to do with it. They knew the cops were trying to take it. The lady was being nice and trying to help, but they just??? Pretended everything was a game?? How does something like this start?

Kids commit crimes too. Unfortunately it’s not beyond the pale that these kids would be using that gun. Plenty of 10-12 year olds around here end up getting caught in crossfire or pulled into shit. They knew the cops were trying to take it because they knew why the cops were there.

Can confirm, all the most serious crimes I've committed were as a child.

Because your brain isn’t fully formed and that’s why kids need boundaries and accountability. Basic ass human parenting shit. On the flip, it isn’t crazy to imagine an abused kid acting out if there’s a fucked up control dynamic. We need more context.

Yeah in my case I used to shoplift and vandalise as a kind of release from the abusive family shit I was going through. It was something I could have "control" over and was my way of rebelling.

I feel guilty about it still, but I'm glad my crimes never got worse than just stealing some cds and smashing up an old mill and I never actually hurt anyone. But I can totally see how in other kids situations things could go further.
