The juveniles, ages 11, 12 and 16, were caught on camera robbing a Wells Fargo bank March 14, the FBI said.

Three boys dubbed the “little rascals” for allegedly robbing a Texas bank were behind bars Thursday, the FBI said.

The juveniles, ages 11, 12 and 16, have each been charged with robbery by threat, a spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in Houston said in an email.

“Because they are juveniles, their names, and no additional details will be released,” the spokesperson said.

    Firstly thanks for replying.

    Therapy, works, when the individual wants to change. At this level of crime there is a slim chance of that desire.

    Their peers are likely part of the reason they are committing these crimes. Too much freedom due to the environment that they were born into , by no choice of their own, also contributed. To be clear I don’t even blame the parents most of the time. Even they can’t out influence the friends group. The abuse, well it’s no lie that the judicial system needs to be fixed at ALL levels, but where’s the money in that?

    Your method needs to happen way before they get to this point so that they have less of a chance to get here.

    So between juvi and therapy there still isn’t a resolution to fix them all. Or even fix a greater percentage of offending children.

    These kids, not likey anything will fix one of them let alone all of them. Am I shity for giving up on correcting their learned behavior? Yeah most likely. Facing consequences for ones actions still seems to be the answer for me.

    You are a better person than me.
