Jerome Taylor, of Connecticut, walked into the Northern Indian restaurant on State Street earlier this week, put on a mask and pulled an item from his pocket while demanding money.
The cooks each pulled out a knife and told Taylor they were not giving him anything.

unless anyones willing to give a statement (considering they didnt press charges might be hard to get a statement).the case should get dropped.personally i dont think the police should be able charge someone if the victim doesnt want to press charges.

Also they didn't charge the looser with armed robbery. Hopefully he is out of the picture long enough for that kid to have a chance at a decent life...
I do feel that the kid will have an even crappier life without him.
The kid might be sad for a while, but will almost certainly be better off in the long run. Even if the kid gets stuck in an institution (highly unlikely given the amount of news coverage here), that at least guarantees food, shelter, and the opportunity for a good education. These are three things that the father could not guarantee.

without discipline, all three of those wont matter. One is not born knowing right from wrong, its taught through observation's of surroundings and disciplinary actions.
an institute isn't known to produce well behaved children. if anything id say it produces more gang members, than parents in gangs.
Except under very extreme cases (sexual/physical abuse) it is almost never better for kids to go into foster care. Many foster care households do it just for the paycheck. Many of these kids are dumped on the street when they turn 18 (the state stops paying) with no life skills, no education/work plan, no support. They get bumped from household to household and split up from siblings.
Yeah...a lot of these people are f*ckups, but that doesn't mean the state is a better nanny.
I know people raised here by the government here called ward of the state.Most the ones ive met were drug addicts and in and out of juvenile detention centres.Know a few people that were raised in foster homes and they didnt turn out normal either.If the parent/s loves the child/ren and does't abuse them why should they lose there child/ren.
