Some folks will do anything for a "whopper!"

Police: Armed & hungry 13-year-old girl robs Burger King
    

Tampa, Florida - Tampa Police say a 13-year-old girl who just got out of Juvenile Detention robbed a Burger King Restaurant at knife point. But all she demanded was a cheeseburger.

This happened around 9:30 Friday morning at the Burger King at 2601 E. Hillsborough Ave.

Police say the 13-year-old girl  was just released from the Juvenile Assessment Center at 8:00 a.m. They say shortly after arriving home, she picked up a kitchen knife and walked to a nearby Burger King while wearing pajamas, socks and no shoes.

Officers say she confronted an employee, Ian Bowers, at the rear entrance to the business.

She allegedly showed him her kitchen knife and yelled "Give me a burger!"

Bowers tried to run away, but the suspect pushed through the rear door and chased after him with her knife in the air.

A witness heard the suspect yelling, "Give me a (expletive) cheeseburger now!"

The suspect chased Bowers through the kitchen before she was subdued by other employees and held for police. No one was injured.

The suspect told investigators she committed this offense simply because she was hungry and wanted a burger.

She was taken back to the JAC and charged with armed burglary, armed robbery, and violation of home detention.

what goes through their heads is they know they cant be disciplined. A little discipline and attention in the formitive years makes a big diifference. If I tried that when I was a kid my dad would have put a world of hurting on me and I would have wished I was in juvie to get away from him. You do that today and you end up in jail.  So the kids get away with crap like this. where were the parents to say you jus tgot home from juvie you arent going anywhere. Instead she will go back to court be disrespectful to a judge the mom will cry she cant control the kid and expect everyone to be the parent for her.  It is sad but it is what it has come to.

While I know there are exceptions but I say a 13 year old with that kind of problems was created by bad parents.

Lets face it, most of the kids today have grown up in a "gimmy society,"  Most everything they want is given to them by the parents, grandparents, or by society.  What they can't get for free they steal.

What happened to the good old days when a kid had to work for what they wanted, and appreciated it afterward?
