Two mothers brought their own sons to the police after they allegedly caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage to their school library.
Bodycam video shows the moment Volusia County, Florida, officers responded to a fire alarm at the Friendship Elementary library in Deltona at one in the morning. The extent of the destruction is difficult to overstate. It looks like a small natural disaster tore through the area. Tables and shelves were overturned, books were strewn about, and graffiti could be seen scrawled across doors as the officers worked to make sense of what they had walked into.
Watch:

Images of two “persons of interest” were published, showing two young males wearing masks. Police asked anyone with information to contact the authorities, and it didn’t take long for the suspects to be handed over to them by their own mothers.
A Facebook update from the sheriff’s office reported that Felix Cohen Romero, 12, and Bentley Ryan, 13, confessed to causing nearly $50,000 in damage. They had reportedly broken in during the day to cause mayhem, and “then returned later in the evening to look at the damage and cause more.”
“They are each charged with 2 counts of burglary, 2 counts of trespassing on school grounds, criminal mischief, and theft,” the post notes.

Now make them clean it all up and spend every weekend for the rest of the year working with maintenance staff so they learn some respect.

And bleeding heart Democrats are going to blame society, the school, their parents, DeSantis, Trump, and conservatives….everyone but the two who are actually responsible. Dems are ROTTEN!

Shave their heads. Enroll them in a military school. Require them to clean up their mess…
I would donate my kid to child services
