If I'm not mistaken isn't assault and battery on the elderly a felony? If it is maybe some time at the penal institution for adults is in order and I don't mean isolation either. ronfish

Shock incarceration might not be such a bad idea. What that kid did is unacceptable. |

Having retired parents and other relatives on the Cape in their 70's, I worry a great deal about this sort of thing happening to them. I am somewhat comforted to know Hooper's on patrol in their town, just the same, you just can't predict when some idiot's going to do something stupid to some unsuspecting senior.

It is, but it's not something a 14 year old can be sent to an adult jail for. |

Have the kid spend his ENTIRE summer working in an elderly assisted-living facility, and let's see him brag about having to empty bedpans, and change adult diapers to his friends. Although he will only be charged as a minor, this should be reported to his school, so that they can be on the lookout for potential bullying.
And should the parents complain about that, they should have to pay for the man's medical expenses and glasses replacement.
If the kid would do this, what's to say he wouldn't begin (if he hasn't already started) bullying and terrorizing younger kids as well?
Maybe the stigma of having to have a psychological evaluation might smarten the smart-a$$ up!

If you're fond of sand dunes, and salt sea air
Quaint little villages here and there,
You're sure to fall in love
With Olde Cape Cod
Fast forward to 2008 and this is more and more what Cape Cod is becoming--Dorchester South
