This just made me sick to my stomach... especially what those boys did to the mom.
And I thought my step children were ill behaved. Next time they visit, maybe I will be a little more tollerant... Nah.
Children's punishment is limited. As a result, they get away with too much. If they do not learn the consequenses of their actions as a child, then as a teen it is not surprising that they exercise poor judgment.

These are terrible stories, but I am curious if the parents of these juveniles have criminal records or not? You seem to infer they are acting out roles from parents or others, but not sure what the facts are for each story. Please provide more information if you have it.
OK, I checked on the Lawson story, which seems like an example of no parental role model other than gang activities. It might also point to issues for single working parent households and failures of public housing, etc. Quotes from the local news story below:
Lawson's mother, who works at a hospital cafeteria, brought her son in at investigators' request. Lawson also lives sometimes with his grandmother, who fretted Tuesday that she would be thrown out of her Dunbar Village public housing apartment.
"He just stayed here to keep me company," she said.
His sister Shae Banks, 17, said he has two brothers and three sisters.
His 7-year-old sister wore a T-shirt that said "Brother For Sale." He had called her earlier Tuesday and said, "I love you," she said.
Here's information on Walker:
Walker's mother, Ruby Walker, cried at the sight of her son. She declined to talk about the case.
Walker's father, also named Nathan Walker, sat next to her. He later addressed reporters, soft-spoken and sad.
"I love my son. I'm going to stick by him. I don't teach violence to my son so it really puzzles me," said Walker. "Maybe he's just hanging out with the wrong crowd. I don't know."
He acknowledged he hasn't spent as much time with his son as he should have after parting ways with the boy's mother. But he said his son is shy and timid and they went to places like the Fun Depot arcade together.
"It's been a while since I really spent a lot of time with him," Walker said.
In the meantime, his son has been getting in trouble with the law.
Walker is scheduled to be in juvenile court in two weeks for an earlier arrest. He is charged as a juvenile with trespassing on school property, resisting arrest without violence, criminal mischief and loitering at Roosevelt Middle School on two occasions in May.
According to the arrest report, Walker spent a lot of time with friends in Dunbar Village, though he lived on Brandywine Road in West Palm Beach.

I agree that these kids need better role models and probably better parenting but I think the juvenile justice system (at least in Virginia) is pathetic and also is to blame. Every time one of these kids gets away with something it encourages them and their peers to push the envelope even further next time.
Walker's mother and father have each been arrested seven times. Do ya suppose he had bad role models?
So they inherited rotten parents, and Avion's "alternative school" and all the other nice liberal social programs didn't work. Too bad no one ever taught him about "personal responsibility".
Going forward: someone who at gunpoint forces a 12 year-old to rape his own mother is so deeply pathological that he will never be "rehabilitated". Public safety demands life without parole.
Next time teach the kids that there are real consequences to their actions. Tough love. If the parents won't do it, the state must, or it will become a tidal wave.
IF the allegations are true, these are all kids where some how their wiring has gotten crossed. Most likely, it was from having poor role models who did not teach them right from wrong.
These stories are all horrible in their own warped way. Parents need to bond together to do a better job of education our future leaders in the subject of morality.
Children run a muck!
Where does an 11 year old get the alcohol?
WE CAN HELP THE VICTIMS:
The mother is educated and they are practicing Catholics, described as good, decent people. They are legal Haitian immigrants who were temporarily living in the project. They kept to themselves and chose not to associate with the "hip-hop" element. This may be why they were targeted for attack by the perpetrators, all described as black male teenagers.
A fund has been established at St. Ann's parish, the victims' church, to help them to move and get counseling.

This sexual assault upon the mother-child relationship is unimaginable, yet this mother's faith is strong; there is hope for healing
Feel free to contribute to the family in care of the church. This is a legitimate cause.
Both the woman and the boy will have a long struggle to get over this trauma.
These juvenile delinquents have committed crimes for which they should be jailed and punished as adults.

I am becoming more in favor of capital punishment all the time.
The parents are apparently surprised at their children's juvenile delinquency. Well, wake up. The problem unlikely developed over night.
These teens are animals and need to be permanently caged.
Lolly
Both Ruby Walker and the father have criminal records! Not surprising their little boy is choosing the wrong path. Good call pubmeister.
Kyle
Not very good role models indeed.
Granny
While not everything can be blamed on parents or adults, it is obvious that there are not enough good role models around. Is the press part to blame? Do they build up heroes just to watch them fall?
Charity begins at home. Parents, do the right thing. Teach the right things. You don't have to be able to hit a baseball 450 feet or throw a football 80 yards. Work hard, live your life well, and love your children. That is the best holiday gift anyone can ever give their children.
