10-Year-Old Boy Arrested for Sending ‘Threatening Messages,’ Cops Say

- A 10-year-old Florida boy was arrested after cops say he sent "threatening messages." According to reports, the fifth-grader sent an image of assault rifles to a friend and texted, "I bought this" and "get ready for water day," a gathering for students with good grades. The other boy's father called the cops and within hours, the 10-year-old was in cuffs. Now Dereck Marquez, the 10-year-old’s father, exclusively tells Inside Edition his son is still in custody.
Sometimes scaring a kid straight is the best teaching method. They need to understand the consequences for their actions, joking about killing other kids isn't normal especially for a 10 year old.
Edit: If you're going to defend this kid, understand that the vast majority of school shootings were reported to the police prior to the kid shooting the school (dating back to columbine). Threats need to be taken seriously even if it's a 10 year old, otherwise people would be asking why the sheriff didn't act when the other parent reported before this kid shot up a school.
That kid doesn't look scared at all.
You have no idea of the context on this story. I find it disgusting that people would think it is ok to handcuff a child and lead him out for the world's media to use it for political gains.
The very fact that media cameras were theirs to capture the arrest is extremely worrying. The media has already shown that they will lie when it comes to children.
Doesn't sound good for me
@@bighands69 agreed
Scared? Lol clearly the kid is spoiled...the dad clearly said he never had disciplined action ever🤣
"He was a good kid." "He's never been in trouble." "He's never hurt anyone." Things parents say after their child hurts or kills someone.
Sometimes that’s how it is, kid probably thought he was being a badass but that’s no excuse
Does no one own up to their mistakes nowadays?
He's 10... This doesn't seem this crazy to me. If he was in Europe he wouldn't be able to get his hands on guns, so there would literally be nothing to be worried about, do we really have to incarcerate all kids who send threats?
When I was 11 I told my "friends" I was gonna stab them with a knife after they broke into my parents house and stole $6000. I was just trying to scare them, I didn't plan on actually killing them, that's crazy.
I gotta tell you though, if the cops had taken it seriously like they do in the US, I would have gone to a psych ward or juvenile prison for a long time and I would have turned into a monster. I would have dedicated my life to destroying the society that destroyed me.
Other inmates would have taught me how to become a real criminal and how to fight.
But instead of that my parents sent me to California (from France) to start a new life in a better environment, surrounded by people who aren't criminals, and that approach saved me. Compassion saved my life.
Mass incarceration is NOT the answer.
@@RedLineShortFilms bro you threatening them makes sense, they robbed you bro. Completely different situations. This kid was just saying it for no reason!
@@ghastlytree5864 how do you know there is no reason? may be there was a good reason.
The kid doesnt look like he’s affected at all. I also stand by the arrest.
How dare he (a 10 year old) make a joke!?
@@TheBootyWarriorUnstoppable Its a joke until its not anymore and something happens
@@TheBootyWarriorUnstoppable yeah the other kid shooters also made "jokes" that no one listened to and then boom people DEAD
@@biscuitboy8040 Well, if he wanted to shoot up the place, he would've long done it by now, so it's safe to say this one was a joke.
Little kids don't look affected because they don't live in reality yet.
I never talked about guns and hurting someone when I was ten in a “humorous way”
Hurting someone?
Tiger! Whats up man lol
I didn't joke about guns but I did joke about hurting other kids. Mostly the kids that bullied me. I think if it wasn't for shows like Dragon Ball and video games, I wouldn't have grown up wanting to be like the hero of those stories I loved. As an adult, I'm normally the one who tries the hardest to help people. If I didn't have that goal of wanting to be like the hero, I know I would have grown up to be a very violent and destructive person. Kids who joke and fantasize about death don't have a positive goals like I did. They need better role models.
Late bloomer?
Unfortunately we have to take these threats seriously. He’s so young, such a shame. Parents please talk to your kids.
@engineer gaming stop using mental health as an excuse for everything
It looks like we all agree. The sheriff did the right thing. 🇺🇸
he's so young but his brain is developed enough to understand the consequences of his behavior.
@engineer gaming How about taking the border seriously.
Talk to them about what?
I stand with the cop
Respect
You should also stand with comprehensive gun control but do YOU?
I must of saw fake guns this new America!!!!!!
Same
I stand with what the police did, it is not okay to insinuate such actions after such horror has already occurred…
I hope that the states and whatever other country needs it, gets more gun control, you need more restrictions on what guns should be even owned by the public, who is friggen safe enough to keep their gun in good conditions, and knows how to use it for non criminal activities ie; hunting, feeling your family, this whole I need it for protection is stupid, more guns doesn’t solve any problems .
Many many countries have gun laws, as they should. Strict gun laws. As they should. Follow suit, you may have less of a problem 🥺🤷🏻♀️🙄
This reminds me of when I was in 7th grade. I was in a private Catholic school, and I passed out in the middle of the school year, during lunch, and I was sent home. I had a bully, and when I came back, my friend told me, "We all prayed for you, but your bully, she prayed for you to die, she told us". What kind of monters? Who is teaching them these things?
*Only if adults & teens took these kinds of threats more seriously, lives wouldve been saved.*
“It was the stupid humor of a child” is what we need to pay attention to and not just ignore. This can prevent soooo many massacres. Just because a child doesn’t have a bad history doesn’t mean he/she isn’t capable of doing anything crazy.
Most killers did not had a history.
The kid doesn't even look scare or crying as I would assume for a kid being arrested
you have never been involved in fights? what if the kid threatened to send a nuclear bomb ? would he still be arrested?
Lmao I make jokes like this everyday they just ignore me
I feel like the appropriate people should pay attention to it. Not you, me and the entire world? Doesn't anyone else feel this didn't have to be broadcasted news?
LOOK people, WE can’t have it both ways! We can’t tell the cops to do something and then when they do something, we bash them for it! Parents need to have that conversation with their kids about joking this way. It is not a joke and the consequences could cause them to be arrested! EVERY single threat needs to be taken seriously no matter the age of the person! I have two teenage sons who I’m pretty sure would never joke like this but I’m about to have that conversation with them anyways just so they know! The cop wasn’t in the wrong to do what he did by arresting this 10 yr old IMO.
You dam right 💯
THANK YOU! Exactly! Wow thank God there still is a few sane normal folks out there
You act like the person you're talking to is the same person. You can't just group people together.
@@renatamitchell519 I told both my sons after posting this that the cops arrested him for making a threat and my youngest son said “as they should”. He 12 and he’s gets it. Parents need to talk to their kids about this especially their sons.
We told the cops to kill the shooter immediately not to wait for hours
This is a serious issue that can’t take slightly, so many lives vanished. And need the parents to watch their kids. It’s heart breaking to see a young kid in a mug shot but this is a lesson’s to be learned and need to send a message to everyone.
Ur either old or an complete npc cuz ain’t nobody believing this
What an intimidating 10 year old!
how is the dad, an army veteran, confused why his boy is receiving such severe consequences? Absolute denial on the severity or acceptance that his son could end up this way.
Spoiled kid
Shame on him 🤮. He should confiscate the cellphone of his son. We didn’t have cellphone at that age.
hes confused by his sons decisions and this whole situation. it could of been avoided hence why he said his son didn’t understand the gravity of the message. wasnt defending him, just disappointed in him.
That why I don’t have respect for veterans for those who don’t deserve and that man don’t deserve to be respected to be a veteran
Joking is illegal now?
I stand by the arrest. Protect our children. He doesn’t need to be charged but there NEEDS to be consequences.
@Kempo Karate Boy bruh he’s 10 I’m sure 11 days in prison taught him enough
@Kempo Karate Boy do not be silly
Had he went and killed multiple kids at your children's school including your kids you'll be speaking a different tune.
So if he ends up killing whaaat?
😌😌😌
What if scaring the kid made him more rebellious eventually, he becomes the monster we all fear....
That's crazy 😧
Good on the cops for taking this seriously. This is absolutely no joke. Kid is an idiot, but at least this will serve as a lesson. What's worrisome is that his father doesn't seem to be taking this seriously
Gotta ask yourself where the kid learned it....
wow get a criminal record for a threat is a lesson.
@@lightyagami-rk2my yes you don't joke about killing people when we have a shooting problem in schools.
true
@@3arthIsGhetto Kid probably learned it from others on the internet, social media is fueling these things more than some people realize.
I hate when parents immediately say “they’re just a kid” or something along that lines. I understand how they would feel (I have 2 kids) but, I would let my kid learn their lesson. Messing with other children’s lives & feelings & safety, that is 100% not okay.
And that is why the Internet deteriorated so quickly in the 2010's.
Rude people, playing off their behavior as a "joke."
❄️
Why did he feel the need to send pictures in the first place tho I think there is more to the story 🤔
Remember this will only affect them kids becuase of th e internet. As you said you gave Two kids, be careful with them
Agreed. Not holding your child accountable is doing a disservice to them and society.
Me: "Oh, thats just wild."
Video : "...florida boy..."
Me: **lives in florida** "Oh, i guess its monday."
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
I’m so happy people acted. I understand the dad is heartbroken but we have to take these things seriously. Hopefully the kid will be surrounded by people that love him and address his issues.
Address his issues? He saw a chance for attention. Ruining a 10 year olds life like this is wrong.
@@Supersquishyawesomeness he ruined his own life.
He shouldn't be in jail. How can a 10 year old buy guns? It's not like he is 18 in high school.
@@Meds1000MD You don't know the situation. Maybe a friend's parents keep a gun in reach and he can get to it. They have to treat this seriously. By the way, he doesn't look to shaken up about being arrested, so relax.
@@Meds1000MD it’s almost as if a family member of his, bought the guns & this minor just wanted to look cool for a bit? 🤔
Bro I understand it's the attorneys job to defend the kid but is that really the best argument you got?💀
Bro read my mind
Yes sir, she said what she said. When all else fails, stick with the narrative. Can you believe it? 🤦🏽♀️
Lol... Thought I was the only one
Of all the things that people have expressed in these comments, I think the greatest area of agreement might be that the boys attorney is the worst sort of trash. She’s probably going to have a very successful career.
She’s clearly not been a defense attorney for very long
This kid just has the very same edgy/dark humor that so many people have on the internet.
Man the father really loves his son, I hope daniel wakes up and honors that love through his conduct moving forward
I'm proud of the kids who reported his disturbing message. The previous shooter sent images to girls too and they reported him and nothing happened and then guess what? 20 ppl were massacred. Enough is enough already. The parents of these young boys should be held accountable as well.
they shouldn't be for there children's mistakes my mom's friend is a very good mom and she has sacrificed a lot for. her child but he still is trouble he won't stop sometimes it's the child ways of tryna be cool the parents can't control another persons mind
@@leahlilliana7235 But the kid is a minor, the parents have a right to make sure their child is raised right
@@Ash_Queen16 the kid is raised right and had everything they need but they just won't stop causing trouble
And gun laws shouldn't be such a joke. That's the big open goal

When something tragic happens, everyone laments ignoring the warning signs. Now, when the warning signs present themselves, everyone is shocked when something is done about it. Pick one or the other, we can't be outraged at both and expect anything to change.
💯
Exactly!!!!
Right? Then they blame the police for doing their jobs
@@wanluv Very true..!!
My thoughts exactly
Same energy as “Oh no boys, They found the group chat!”
this is stupid cuz i would always save image and joke around it ive been doing that since 8 but then they arrest him for sending fake photos. wow this world is cruel
They didn't just arrest him for "Fake images" they arrested him for sending them images and making a threat to commit a crime on a meetings day. The arrest is totally valid.
@@BigJordan oh cuz i got confused with the comments so for some reason ill swtich to your side
Regardless if it was a joke or not it's still a threat of violence, he needs to be held accountable. As a 10 year old YOU KNOW that is wrong.
I didn't see a threat made. A photo of guns, the 10 year old obviously could never buy and not in possession of and a statement combined with a specific day. I see what people want to make of this. I see the two statements. But he is 10 and texting. Could one statement be a time lapse? Possibly. But go and speak to the kid. Find out what he meant. If it was a poor joke, then handle it as such with the parents and Law Enforcement. Get a mediator and counselor. Then, take the kids phone. Remove his access to the internet unless it is for school and supervised.
A 10 year old doesn’t know much at all. They barely wipe their own butts…. Seriously??? You ever try to talk to a 5th grader? You ever raised a kid?? They’re all psychos who want to poke dead things with sticks. Held accountable for what??? Using google? Sending not okay texts??
10 year old do not have full frontal lobe development, I doubt he really understands the gravity of his actions.
@@memes.1114 so we should just excuse everyone under the age of 27?
@@honestyfirst8835 as a 10 year old you know making death threats is wrong. There's no excuse
Parents need to talk to their kids about this. As the father stated his son did not know the gravity of the situation. Talk to your kids educate them at an early age about gun violence and threats . Especially sharing images of guns and bragging about it. If that was my son I will not protest the mug shot.
We need to bring back lobotomies - give this kid one - lock him up and throw away the key
What is up with people wanting to give children adult education.
@@bighands69 education is education.
@@chadsimpmain8180
SO want children to learn adult topics?
stop them from violent video games they play
I stand by this arrest. Cops need to take these things seriously because of the times we live in. And it’s not enough for a parent to say ‘I know my kid; they would never do this’ or ‘it’s just words; people say things they don’t mean all the time’. That’s not good enough. Children need to be taught that free speech is a wonderful right but it comes with consequences. You can’t say something that implies intended harm to yourself or anyone else and if you do, you face the consequences for your actions. No parent wants to see their kid arrested for these things, but better it goes like this rather than do nothing and someone gets hurt.
Exactly
It doesn’t matter if you meant it as a “joke” or not.
A threat is a threat, and not free speech
People keep saying "I know my kid" then when this kid kills a friend over Slender Man, "I don't know what happened"
All school shooter parents say that...
Ok boomer or npcs, y’all old folks cant stand jokes no more.
I swear the US is just something else 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It can’t be taken as “stupid humor of a child” because we need to take these threats seriously. If we keep brushing it off as “humor” it will eventually turn into another mass shooting even though all the signs were there alerting us. I agree with the disciplinary action 100%
💀 how is he going to carry the gun💀 his dad finna stop it💀💀
Agree
@Big Spill not every 10 yr old have a 10 yr old mindset 🤷♂️
@Big Spill he won't be 10 forever
@@silent_noise487 ^^^
there’s been too many instances that people don’t take these threats seriously and bad things happen. it’s better that he is taken into custody because you never know.
Yep, better safe then sorry.
Cause saying sorry doesn't bring back the dead.
They’ll show this 10 year old kid’s mugshot. Meanwhile, they’ll intentionally hide Nancy Piglosi’s husband arrest for DWI mugshot. A two tier justice system. smdh
I feel like this situation is taking a joke to seriously. A ten year old, owning guns? Wanting to kill? There’s so many areas that don’t make sense. Why does he want to do it? Why would he text about it? Why is no one questioning a kid owning a gun. I like being safe and all but I think he should just be taught that he shouldn’t say stuff like that.
Agreed
@@youraveragepersonwalkingth6850 I mean, it's not like young kids like him haven't killed people before. They shouldn't be jokes in the first place. Clearly nothing is funny about shooting people.

The fact that one lady has the audacity to call this “ asserting authority “ really baffles me. Yes innocent children do need to be protected, protected from kids like Daniel.
Exactly! What an absolutely ignorant and absurd thing for her to say.

She’s not a lady. She’s a sellout who will say anything for her client, even if it means protecting someone who was clearly deranged. 10yo or 30, doesn’t matter. waste of life
@@kiera6326 What's your plan let him go shoot up more schools or face the consequences of making threats like mass killing.
She is the kids attorney she has to take his side she is paid to do so.
As much as the father is distraught, he must know his son was wrong. The Columbine shooters were also not troublemakers and lived normal lives, but that one thing that people didnt report or take serious cost innocent kids their lives so yes, kudos to the law enforcement for taking it seriously.
EDIT: The Columbine shooters were older. Lets talk Kayla Rolland, a six year old shot by an eight year old AT SCHOOL, because he did not like her. I support the cops on this. Nip it in the bud.
His son is being held on counts of threats against his schoolmates. You will notice, that they do not hold adults in jail for threats against other adults. They broke the law by putting a minors photo in the news without the permission of the guardian. There's so much that went wrong after the fact here, that this will just disrupt getting actual laws to make schools safer passed because of the possibility of these types of things
Normal lives? Everything they documented wasn’t normal lol. They literally said if their plan was interrupted, they would do what they need to do, in order to appear “back to normal” or changed.. so they could still follow through with the shooting afterwards.
The columbine shooters actually broke into a van and went to a detention program.
The columbine shooters weren't gunless 10 year olds...
@@andrewistall yeah eric and dylan broke into that van and stole electrical equipment to buy guns I remember hearing that on zero hour
The fact the kid can’t even hold one of the guns cause it’s half his size😂😂😂
No way that his friend believed him.😂
Friend did not, but his dad did.
Parents need to have conversations with their kids!!! It’s not just about bullying. It’s also about acceptable behavior and the legal consequences that can result over “jokes” or trying to be “cool”.
I THINK they already did but since the kid was on social media he started to do this. But yes I do agree that parents has to educate their own kids!

I agree with you 💯. This is unaccepted and people who make this threats must be held accountable. Regardless of age.
Is a 10 year old kid really who you want the scapegoat to be? All that is missing is Biden tweeting that this kid is evil incarnate.

it was a joke though??

@@Andreea06bhz If he wouldn't have before this, he definitly will now.

This world is on a mega track to hell.
*hes going to grow up to be a serieal killer it all cause of dose vidoegames*
Im happy that Sheriff did his job.......you do not "joke" about that stuff
"Florida boy arrested for a threating message"
Yes, please take every threat seriously, even when it comes from a 10 year old because we don’t know exactly what’s in people’s minds.
Exactly, you never know what's going on in other people's minds, better safe then sorry. I totally agree. ✌️
@@OddOtter707 we would rather be safe than have kids be massacred. what don't you understand? "every comedian making jokes" isnt the same as people literally commiting war crimes
@@OddOtter707 Worst strawman I have ever heard. Comparing a threat to a comedian smh use your brain
What if he was younger than 10? Like 6 or 5!?
@@Takokujin07 But it wasnt a threat... I can make jokes about rape or killing co workers if i so felt like it. Unless it is happening, there's nothing anybody can rightfully do about it.
On one hand, I get what the dad is saying but on the other hand, I get what the police were doing and they were not taking this lightly after what has happened recently in Texas which should not be forgotten ever.
Yes, kids do things that they might not fully understand at times but just think of what this kid said in a text to another student by sending a photos of four rifles and telling of seeing them at "water day".
Also, the dad is in the military so he might have guns at home which the kid might see, though I am sure the dad is responsible in locking up his weapons if he does have them at home.
Father should be in jail too. Why was his son near the weapons?
Wow very brave for those police to arrest a 10 year old kid
You never know.
@@starsfalldown1234567 Its a google image
Bootlickers
bro it was literally meant to be a water gun battle because he said "get ready for water day"
i never thought of it that way you're genius
Thats ridiculous. When I was 6 i had a school teacher freak out about a joke I made about a cartoon i was watching and then the police and the principal were called on me to talk to my friend because ms golden thought I was making a threat to kill him and his dad. And nothing i said related to anything like that. I get it, its better safe than sorry. But try to talk to the kid before you make ruff decisions like this. He clearly doesn't know any better and he didn't harm anyone intentionally
The kid isn't showing any kind of remorse...if that could be me 10 years old arrested by police...I would have been crying and wailing like crazy
Xactly
And pretty scary...😮
IKR - I would be bawling and screaming for my parents and saying I won't do it again!!😢😭😭😭😭
@@mariastewart8810 fr😂
Parents need their kids take accountability for their actions.
Yes did you see the father in the interview had no tears and was only acting the part of a good father
I kindly agree with your opinion
Agree
Damn right
True. But minus the perp walk...
Arrest a BABY NEXT! FLORIDA FOR STEALING A CANDY!
Truth be told, you need to scare people straight nowadays. I'm shocked that the dad just made excuses; he's officially the softest parent I've ever seen. The attorney needs to be fired by her firm. Nowadays with these threats, the people that make these threats need to be scared straight. You go, Sheriff!
Especially after recent tragic shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde.
Those shooters also posted violent and disturbing material online beforehand
@@RB01.10 I have to agree
The dad is in deep denial if he thinks this is just the “stupid humor” of a child. 10 year old kid humor is fart jokes and cooties, not threatening to bring a loaded weapon to school and hurt/kill people. Good on the cops for taking the threats seriously.
Cooties? Wow that’s so retro 😒
you don't want to know what 10 yr old's today know and don't know bro...........
He’s Mexican, of course he’s in denial. No accountability for oneself anymore.
I am assuming you have never met a child. My nephew and I were playing 'survive the killer' on roblox together when he was about 6. He is not even 8 now and plays fortnite with his friends. I assure you that 10 year old boy humor contains both fart jokes and the worst kinds of humor you'd expect from any adult.
@@jdramirez7613 ong
The fact that he shows NO emotion whatsoever while he’s being escorted in handcuffs and then the mugshot is concerning in itself 😞
I agree. People want to jump on Oh but he a little boy and hes too young . Look at his demeanor. I dont care the age ..If it really was a joke he would be scared..terrified..crying..looking around for his dad etc. Nope he walking like This is my life.
Absolutely!
True! I would've expected him to feel scared and embarrassed for making a dumb mistake because he made a "joke". It's a bit odd. It could be nothing but you're making a great point.
@@kristinakellogg1732 don’t know why he’s like that has his father has money where is mommy
May be he is just a kid don't know the consequences of his action so is not afraid ?. Have anyone consider that angle ?.
Sorry for the family but they need to make an example of this kid, no tolerance for that action 😡
How can a 10 year old boy behave like a good citizen without good parenting? It's definetely the parents' fault
@@dmrknbld 10 years old is sane enough. Guess you wont be saying the same if a 10 year old killed your family.
This is probably the biggest mistake in arrest something is going to lead to something bad.
This is how saying “it’s just dark humor” or that something is “just a joke” influences younger children. So stupid man
Totally agree
I love dark humor.
Well this isn't dark humor lmao
@@ericbattista9341 ik but those beliefs about dark humor delude people’s perception of the differences between jokes and threats.
@@bahahhag nah if a person finds that as dark humor they're psychotic lol
My parents raised me and my siblings with discipline, none of us acted stupid like this young boy. If you knew my Dad, he wasn't afraid to use his belt especially if one of us got out of line.
I mean physical abuse is really not a necessary solution for discipline--
@@lizz-shana he never said he was abused
@@jamelr6577 I was referring to the usage of the belt. And, if I follow your logic, sir, I never explicitly implied he was abused, either

Just stop being.....
I guess athletes abuse themselves according to you.
Ever lifted weights??
How about any contact sport.??
Just stop being so delicate.
@@armgord I respect your ideas, but I cannot agree with that
I do t stand by the arrest at all. First of all, he’s a minor so his name or picture should have never been released. Of course we need to take threats seriously these days in age but he’s a 10 year old boy, everyone my age joked about stuff like that because we were unable to comprehend the seriousness of it even at that age. Of course there needs to be consequences but this was handled inexcusably wrong.
Exactly, he will undoubtedly face harassment and bullying for something he did as a TEN year old
"I don't think he understood the gravity of the situation" well he sure does now. These threats, jokes or not, should be taken 100% seriously. I don't care how young or how much of an "angel" you child is, they should be taken into custody.
I see young kids a lot talking like this threats, racism, and bullying. Definitely not okay. They sometimes even think it’s funny or a joke but that behavior will catch up to them and people will take it serious. They need to be taught not to be delusional about it.
"See? Nobody cares."
@@OddOtter707 those ones would get slapped.
@Jiogurr Boomer = wisdom.... get over it
@Jiogurr Just hit me up when you wanna know something about life. I'm a little younger than the Boomer category so you'll have to find another way to make fun of me. Good luck!
@Jiogurr A lot of it depends on the current climate. When a horrific event occurs this dramatically raises the level of sensitivity people have. I don't think one person is gonna "start WW3" but one person can certainly shoot up a crowd of folks. Why do people make threats in the name of humor?
When I was nine, I was in daycare and threatened to stab another kid (I was somewhat troubled when I was younger). Instead of my family defending me, they agreed that I was in the wrong. I remember when my grandmother was walking my home from daycare, she saw a police officer and made me admit what I did to him. I remember that officer saying that he was disappointed in me, but also proud to admit what I did was wrong, and gave me a small lecture on how serious this stuff can be. It's one of the few things I appreciate my grandmother doing for me.
I don't remember your name, Officer Lectured-A-Kid-While-Ordering-Subway, but I appreciate that you gave that lecture.
Who knows, if you weren't taught lessons like this and your life went a slightly different way you may not have been here writing this comment.
thanks very wholesome
What i got from this was you was a big ahh 9 year old mf still at daycare threatening to stab babies
Beautiful story but your family would throw you under the bus in a heartbeat which isn't a loyal family
my school was insanely strict i was in third grade and i folded paper and it "looked to much like a knife" and i "acted like i was stabbing a kid" what actually happened was i was showing my friend what i made and thankfully my friend was able to vouch for me and all that happened was they called my parents to come to school
I don’t think he should have been taken to prison
as a parent you can't defend the boy when you know he meant harm when he sent those messages. they failed as parent big time.
Hold everyone accountable, no matter what age.
As long as he is in custody, he can get counselling to determine if he is a potential threat. Parents don't always know and invariably, after an event, that's what parents claim, 'I didn't know'...
They won't give him counseling. This is Florida. They'll physically abuse him, and he'll come home more damaged than he was to begin with.
Because no one knows what your child does. They hide secrets and its normal. The reason why he is protecting his child is because thats his child. I fully guarantee you that you will do the same as the dad
@@ab.6573 Well said! I would have defended my child the same way.
God damn bro who you tryna beef with who tf stole your crayons 💀
My mom always said even the smallest of threats can land you in court
I'm with the sheriff on this. Must take everything seriously and teach kids a lesson.
💯💯💯💯💯
Texas police suck and will wait until it gets worse
@Michael A so
Stop being so close minded you schmuck
They could have just had a serious conversation with him
Problem solved
yeah your probably with him at the Texas one too don't surprised me
At this point his age doesn’t matter these threats should be taken seriously
after an 18 yr old killed 19 children under the age of 12 and 2 teachers, anything is possible, I don’t blame the police or the boy. I guess the boy did not understand the seriousness of this situation and I understand the police want to avoid a situation like this from happening ever again
You’re a clown age does matter and it mattered that he was Mexican
He literally doesn’t even own any guns lol
@@tomorr7176 That still doesn't make it ok.
@@dianebutterfly6698 Shut up
I love this kid's courage ❤
natethegreat i was brave when i was arrested when i was 11
i feel bad for the kid, but the police got to send these messages that they’re not gonna mess around anymore
If I was his age, I would have been in tears.
A kid in tears wouldn’t be threatening anyone in the first place.

Nah that kid has something wrong with him. Something’s disconnected. He had zero emotion.
