Deputies respond to juvenile store thefts, outbursts
Security catches teens trying to steal
A planned store theft gone wrong and an outburst taken too far were among three separate crimes about juveniles surfacing in local police reports this week. The names of the youths involved were not released because of their minor status.
Busted for putting unpaid for makeup in purse On Nov. 3 two different shoplifting attempts at two different stores were foiled when security officers stopped under-18 girls from leaving their store without paying for items. At about 4:30 p.m., a 15-year-old Golden Sierra High School student was cited and released into her mother’s custody after she tried to smuggle various makeup items worth about $122.79 out of the Target store on the 2700 block of Bell Road in Auburn. The teen reportedly put some makeup in her purse and then walked through the checkout line with her mother, who was paying for other makeup items. The Pilot Hill teen was stopped outside of the store. She faces a misdemeanor charge of petty theft.
Planned burglary thwarted At about 7:59 p.m. Nov. 3, one juvenile dropped off two others at the Kmart on the 2500 block of Bell Road in Auburn with the knowledge of a plan to steal various items. The two juveniles, one was described as an 11-year-old Grass Valley female, reportedly entered the store with black bags and proceeded to mark out the UPC code on thongs, Powerade, pencils and hair straighteners worth a total of $146.79, according to a Placer County Sheriff’s Office report. All three juveniles involved were arrested and transported to juvenile hall while officials made calls to their parents. The juveniles reportedly face felony charges of burglary and conspiracy.
Runaway acts out An 11-year-old runaway was reportedly taken to juvenile hall after he wouldn’t calm down. At about 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24, a Placer County Sheriff’s deputy found the boy at a Rocklin ampm after he was reported missing from Compass Rose Boys Ranch, located on the 4800 block of Barton Road in Loomis. The deputy returned the boy to the ranch, but he reportedly became verbally abusive toward caretakers over time-out restrictions placed on him. The 11-year-old allegedly ran outside and threw bricks at glass windows, causing minor damage. He then flipped a large picnic table over and into a wall and tried to run a wheelbarrow through a wood door, according to a Placer County Sheriff’s report. The caretakers reported that they believed the boy’s actions would only escalate if he stayed at the ranch. A caretaker signed a private person’s arrest form and the boy was taken to juvenile hall.

An 11-year old? Really? Holy cow! This is what happens when social workers and medication takes the place of spanking and punishment.
These are all sad stories. The worse one is the 11 year old with the tantrum. I don't know the situation so I won't speculate as to the whys and why nots. I just hope things do turn out well for all the children.
Peer Court dealt with defendants as young as ten. Juvenile Crime will continue to rise without Peer Court providing consequences. Call your County Supervisor and City Council Member and ask them to fund Peer Court.
Jon Green is right. I will contribute $800 towards restoring Peer Court.
"felony charges of burglary and conspiracy" for $146. The kids were shoplifting for God's sake. Peer Court would be the right course. We don't need to throw our children away. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Peer court? Where are the parents...more non accountable and non responsible parenting contributing to where these children are where they are today
Auburnite... You are probably closer to being correct... Lack of a parent at home to raise them.....To many parents won't ask who what where when either... so peers teach them..... I know many disagree.... BUT somebody needs to be home at all times!
Good parents can have a kid that is bad. Bad parents can have a kid that is good.
Parents that are absent whether physically or emotionally need help. Kids don't come with owners manual and some parents need directions
Peer court is a win win option. We should be embarrassed that it has lost it's funding.
Just another example of why we need a new large government agency: Office of Reproduction. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have children. Issue license' for prospective parents after passing a series of tests (chemical tests included). Denial of permits for those who have not demonstrated financial ability to care for, or provide for their children...and "fixing" for those convicted of serious felonies or recidivist criminal activity.
....oh.....people might do it anyway? Maybe fix em all when they are young kids and they must pass the aforementioned tests before being allowed to have their equipment "unfixed." I know, the conservatives might think that sounds like extreme socialism, bordering on fascism, but just think of the long term cost savings: reduced social welfare costs for housing these delinquent kids, reduced SSI for kids born to addicted parents and having organic disabilities, reduction of prison population as these same delinquents would not be entering our prisons as "Future Felons of America." and HEY...less Carbon Footprint...Where's Al Gore, maybe he can sponsor this?
Good, another supporter of eugenics. Way to go Schrodscat.
Dear God, you leftists sicken me.
It's OK, mrx to Juan You can still beat your children in private? It helps them learn how the world really is. Your world anyway.
Eugenics? I am far far away from any endorsement of Eugenics or any other version of selected breeding. Thankfully, any attempt at legitimizing such beliefs fell into disrepute many decades ago. To make it simplified....I feel that many people shouldn't be allowed to have children. They raise their kids in abusive enviornments, neglect any attempts to empower their kids with morals and ethics that respect the rights of a civilized society and in fact, frequently teach their children that predatory actions are the only way to survive. As thier parents go in and out prison, these same kids develop the same world view as their parents.
I admire and respect those, such as yourself, that have dedicated themselves to intervention and attempting to turn these kids around. Please keep it up...it is worthwhile and if you succeed with only a small fraction, it is a huge success for that one kid. However, it doesn't address the long term effects that such parents will have: they are continuing to produce children they can't raise or support. At the current rate, the costs to society will only increase exponentially unless something direct is applied.
ah...and I am also far from a leftist, rightist or any other 'ist or ism...but thanks for posting. :)
Niclbag, I think you are a bit disturbed but I still got a chuckle from your post.
nicklbag,
You just described a normal upbringing before the 1970's.
My mom used to say, "kids only need to know two things.....fear and pain"!
She was kidding, but you wouldn't know it sometimes!
And we all know how YOU turned out Greg. ha Who was supervising you when you drove your car through that neighbor's vegetable garden?!? That was a funny story and your way of telling it was even funnier.
Gail,
I'll put it this way, I got used to "fear and pain". By the time I was driving I had no fear of either.
Greg, I remember the good old days. You did something bad at school, you got spanked, then you went home, where the message about your little problem had already been deivered for another round of the switch. Yes, I remeber the fear and pain days very well, sometimes I felt I was numb,
Thanks for bringing some great memories back.
....loomis? Great memories?
I remember the LAST time my mother tried to swat me with a wire shirt hanger. I had decided enough was enough, so I grabbed it out of her hand at the look on her face was priceless!
That was the last time she raised a hand at me. I was 13.
Hmm I remember being a kid, its hard to tell if they are just being stupid kids or if there is more going on. My questions is why is a 11-year old at a Boys Ranch ??? Sometimes its not the childs fault (keep in mind we are dealing with children here ) there are some sorry excuses for parents out there that cant even admit their own disfunctions, than that spills over to the next generation & so the cycle continues.
The petty theft stories you expect that but the 11 year old story really bothers me. I would like to know more about this "ranch" that i did not even know we had in our area.
For every messed up couple there is on average 3 children who grow up to be messed up and start the chain again. The children growing up now a days are the product of there parents. Who were product of the 60's and 70's. A generation that never wanted to grow up and lost all faith in there goverment. Paired with veterans of an unfavorable war with PTSD and a lot of them with Drug and Alcohol addictions.
How is the next generation supposed to be sucessful. I think America has a lot of War Reprocussion to fix. (Goverment: you were wrong again. War cost more than money, lives, and limbs.
How come no one's asking why an 11 year old girl is stealing a thong to wear? Girls wear thongs for one reason...to show off to boys. Those parents need to answer some questions about their daughter's relationships with others.
Seriously (not that I'm not serious about young girls wanting to show off skimpy underwear), there are a lot more messed up kids than most adults can imagine. Living in the foothills makes parents think they are isolated from bad behavior. Newflash: anything that can be viewed or discussed on a screen can be done by your child or any child no matter how they are raised.
Dear Nicklbag, you must have gone to the same parenting classes my dad went to. Some times my dad beat me so bad, the last thing I'd hear was my mom saying "stop! you're killing him!!". Try living with that. I was only six years old when it started. I can't even explain to you how this twisted me. I lost my ability to talk. Because if I talked, I would have to tell people in my school my father was beating me. Soon I stopped feeling the beating. I went some place in my mind to hide. This enraged my father even more. I couldn't even cry. I have had a hard time getting over this niclbag. But remeber this, if I ever saw anyone beat a child like you are saying to do, well you might get a taste of your own parenting technique. Wake up!! Violence on a child is wrong for ANY REASON. I think you need to retract your staements and apologize. You have lost any credibility you might have had on these blogs.
Dear harleyrider, yuk it up.
By the time I was twelve, I was in some real trouble. I was hungry and began stealing food in Loomis. My "loving parents" beat me with everything they had and it was finally working. I hated them and I was determined to survive any way I could. They told a judge they wanted to give me up to the court. He sent me home. My mother was livid. She told me I was bad and she was going to get rid of me. The only thing that saved me was two good men in Loomis. The reverend Mr. Nace and Mr. Williams my church sponsor, both great and caring men. If not for them, I don't know. I owe these two men more than they will ever realize. A young man in trouble needs help not beatings. If you can't understand that, then you people know nothing. I feel sorry for you and the ignorance represent.
Ya know nicklbag, it's really not your fault. There are no good men anymore. As pathetic as you are about child abuse, you are not alone. I just saw on TV a mother drownd her three year old daughter. You probably think the daughter needed it. And why not, harley thinks child abuse is funny. Where have we gone wrong? Do we really think child abuse is ok? I've got a suggestion, You two call up the authorities and tell them you want to beat this child till he changes. Two big brave guys like you could do it easily. I once told a man in a restaurant to stop beating his baby. The look on his face told me that if he had a gun, he would have shot me. So brave.
