Florida Moms Turn In Sons Accused of Vandalizing Elementary School
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police in Florida say two boys, ages 12 and 13, were turned in by their own mothers after allegedly vandalizing an elementary school and causing extensive damage.
Surveillance Images Lead to Arrests
Authorities reported that the pair broke into the school, where they caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Surveillance images of the suspects were posted on social media, prompting a call for the public’s help.
Instead, the help came from closer to home: the boys’ mothers recognized their children in the images and brought them to police.
Facing Multiple Felony Charges
The boys were released back into their parents’ custody but are now facing multiple felony charges. Police have not released further details about the extent of the damage or the names of those involved, given their ages.
Community Reaction
The case has sparked debate about parental responsibility and accountability. Some praised the mothers’ decision as the right example of tough love, while others questioned whether such charges could derail the boys’ futures.
