    Well if this was my relative I wouldn’t be sticking up for the baby boy
    I would want him to take his lumps and learn a lesson and if he
    needs some kind of help ….GET IT!

    You can expect that if tax payers have to get involved in his mess than
    their going to have an opinion and it’s not going to be good.

    Some people are so stupid I am a very close person and maybe they don’t know what all went on.. he has some problems and yes its his fault but really there is no reason to make fun of him. What would you or how would you feel if it was your loved one-DN

    He was on probation for a 2008 drug charge. I’ll bet he gets more probation for these charges. His mother sure doesnt deserve this, she is a fine lady.

    LOOK AT THAT PICTURE
    What a nice looking baby boy.
    I wonder if this baby boy was still living at home with his mommy?

    Robbed his mother to purchase something for $5.38 at the TOM THUMB.

    Umm I’m not sure on this since I don’t drink.
    Someone tell me how much is a six pack of beer at the TOM THUMB?

    Was that the only thing she raised him with? LOVE??

    Thats the trouble with too many of the 40 year old children here!

    LOVE means do anything you want and get anything you want.
    They they grow up thinking the whole world owes them a living.

    TEACH THEM PPL!
    DRUGS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.

    DRUGS ARE THE RESULT!

    Stealing from one’s own mother is a cry for help.

    Now that LEOs have helped him find the county jail, perhaps someone can teach him that a real man respects his mom.

    How traumatizing for this poor mother to have to lock up “junior” for not only being an alleged thief, but an alleged moron as well.

    Talk about looking like a deer in headlights. I hope the look is one of remorse?

    use tough love to set your children straight. He will now know not to take something that does not belong to him.
