Even people from foreign countries know Detroit is a shithole. Thanks for the story @Podargus
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...ported-missing-mom-arrested-article-1.2192571When a Detroit mother called police to report her 9-year-old son missing on Wednesday, they didn’t have to look far: it turns out he was already in juvenile detention.
But mom Stephanie Horton is looking for answers because she didn’t find out about the boy’s whereabouts until the following day.....
She’s also pleading for help with her troubled child, who has been kicked out of school and arrested on home invasion charges....
Horton looked all over for her son after she returned from work Wednesday night and notified authorities of his absence, according to WDIV. Police had already booked him and a teenaged alleged accomplice for breaking into a vacant home in their northwest Detroit neighborhood, the TV station reported.
She didn’t know the boy was in custody because he couldn’t supply her phone number to authorities and nobody was home when cops knocked on her door on Wednesday,reports WJBK-TV.
Law enforcement authorities dropped the charges against her son because he is a minor and they released him on Thursday, according to WDIV.
But Horton hopes to get connected with services to help her steer him clear of some older roughs, who she says have led him astray.
The boy allegedly once stole a bicycle and covered a defenseless cat with gasoline before setting it afire, sources told WDIV. He and the 16-year-old arrested with him may also be connected with a second break-in in the neighborhood....
“I don't know if it's a gang, I just know that it's a group of individuals that he has no business being with,” Horton said.
“They're older. They're never in school. They're never doing anything, but they're out here robbing people, breaking into people's homes. I just want him to be away from it.”
