I just cant believe parents dont know where thier 14 and 13 yr olds are!

14 yr old car thief and 2 13 yr olds! One dead 2 in hospital 

When and where was this?? 

in brazoria, just outside houston. Today around 9pm I think the story states.... sad so very sad... pray those other two boys make it. 

click on the 'blue' sentence that is the link to channel 11's story 

oh, crap.. not another kid.. 

Sheesh. Are we in a full moon cycle?? The youth in this town seem to be going nuts, are they lacking good parental supervision, or wth??

And where do the get AK-47's to rob the local Wally World??

I have more questions but I'm out of coffee. 

thats my question exactly where the HECK is the parents?? How the heck do you NOT know where your 14 or 13 year olds are? I mean they aren't old enough to drive so you have to take them to where they were. This is just so uncalled for if they raised their kids with the fear of God in them! 

they aren't old enough to drive so you have to take them to where they were.


We're talking about the ghetto here, not Kingwood.

Those kids roam all over the cess-pools of Houston from the moment they can walk. 

This article does not say how fast the teens were going but I am pretty sure on the news I heard over 100mph. If this is the case my question is, was it worth the danger it created to chase a stolen car?? Not only was there great risk to the driver of the stolen car, but to the cop and to the public as a whole. I just do not understand the need to give chase. Is a car worth a life?? 

I saw the dad talking on fox news. The cops said the boys through out some pot and hash too. It is sad. I saw the boy crying and saying "we thought we were some bada__es"..I feel for the families. No one wants to lose a kid. 

I agree I feel for the families. It was a stupid thing for them to do. We all make mistakes but they dont usually end this badly. 

Exactly, giannasmommy!!!! Race happy cops are time bombs. IMHO, what they did was involuntary manslaughter!

I thought that the criteria for those crazy chases was going to change. Actually, that practice should be retired.
If the perps weren't caught that time, statistics prove that they'll commit another crime with the possibility of being caught. What I mean is, the more crime they commit, the chances of the perps being caught increases with the multiple crimes.
Did I just say that twice?!? LOL! Gotta get some sleep!

That is sooo beyond tragic!!!! 

I agree with your statement. Its a stolen car thats it. No one is in immediate danger, until a cop shows up to pursue the suspect at high speeds. I just do not understand the logic behind the chase. Regardless if it a 14 yo boy or 99 yo man. Simply a meaningless death. Smh!! 

update on the little thugs 

HOUSTON – A 14-year-old South Houston boy was killed and two others injured when the teen crashed a stolen truck in Brazoria County Monday night, state troopers said.

The 13-year-old who survived the accident expressed regret about what happened in an interview with KHOU 11 News Tuesday morning.

"I was looking down, in a split-second everything happened, man. I got out of the truck, and I seen his body, man," the teen said, with his mother standing nearby. "We thought we were badass thugs – now look at us, man."

The teen said it all started when the driver stole the truck on　a dare.

"We dared him to, because we were kind of drunk. We didn’t think he’d do it, but he did. He took it [the truck], he stashed it, he hid it somewhere. We put 20 bucks of gas in it, and we left," the teen said. "We didn’t think about any cops or anything, you know? Ain’t no stopping us, that’s what we were thinking."

A DPS trooper said he spotted the truck speeding down the southbound lanes of FM 521 around 7:30 p.m.

Ezequiel Serna was behind the wheel, with two passengers – The 13-year-old and a 12 year old.

The trooper said he noticed some items being thrown from the truck as he tried to pull it over.

Serna initially stopped, but as soon as the trooper got out of his vehicle, investigators said the teen took off.

The trooper gave chase and ran the truck’s plates. Investigators said it came back as stolen.

The trooper followed the truck down FM 521 to FM 1462, and eventually ended up on CR 40, which is a dirt road.

The trooper said at some point on CR 40, Serna lost control of the truck and flipped it multiple times.

He was partially ejected and died at the scene.

The other boys were taken to the hospital, where they were treated and released overnight.

None of the boys was wearing his seatbelt.

"The trooper believes what caused him to lose control is, he got into a grassy area … The teenagers were unfamiliar with the area and hit some ruts, which caused the truck to flip over," DPS Trooper John Sampa said.

Sampa said the two survivors told troopers that they tossed some drugs out of the truck when the chase began.

"The two teenagers told the trooper at the crash scene that they threw out some marijuana and some hash. Right now, we haven’t confirmed that yet, but that’s what they told the trooper after the crash," Sampa said.

Investigators believe the truck, which was taken from the South Houston area, belonged to a Comcast contractor.

There was Comcast equipment strewn all over the crash site.

Serna’s sister told KHOU 11 News that her family was devastated, but that her brother had a stubborn streak.

"Once my brother got something in his head, there was nothing they could do about it," Yadira Serna said through tears. "It’s just hard to see my mom crying. It’s not supposed to be like that. Moms aren’t supposed to bury their kids."

All three boys attended Queens Intermediate School in Pasadena.

"He made a lot of mistakes, but he was a good person," a friend at Queens said of Ezequiel Serna.

Officials said there would be grief counselors available Tuesday for students who were having trouble coping with the loss.

It was not clear if the survivors would be facing any charges.



THEY BETTER BE FACING CHARGES AND SO SHOULD THEIR PARENTS! 

OY. Maybe double Oy. 

Sad.

When will parents learn to watch their children better.

Where is a 12-14 year old getting marijuna and hash and alcohol from? 

What the heck is hash. Yeah I am not to up on the drug scene.... 

"Exactly, giannasmommy!!!! Race happy cops are time bombs. IMHO, what they did was involuntary manslaughter! "
Says the guy out to sue HPD. I'm sure Comcast wanted their truck back. It's a shame it ended this way, but it was the fault of the deceased not the Trooper. 

BTW maybe you should buy helmets and 5-Point harnesses for the other little criminals out there so they won't die the next time they are chased by the police. 

but it was the fault of the deceased not the Trooper.


EXACTLY 

Also, I have been involved in tons of pursuits, 0 have ended in a death (excluding the ones shots were fired). You never know what will happen, but you also cannot let every one flee. If we allow everyone to flee, no one would be intimidated enough to stay when we need them to stay, especially when we don't know who they are. 

thats my question exactly where the HECK is the parents?? How the heck do you NOT know where your 14 or 13 year olds are? I mean they aren't old enough to drive so you have to take them to where they were. This is just so uncalled for if they raised their kids with the fear of God in them!

Totally agree with you. 

My guess is these parents do not care one bit. Or are way too busy doing what ever it is they are doing to be worried about other - even if the others are their kids.

Don't worry, the parents will probably show up soon and sue the owner of the truck for not having a good enough anti-theft-thug-type device on it. 

!!!! Race happy cops are time bombs. IMHO, what they did was involuntary manslaughter! "




This is not the cops fault. It's the driver's fault. He should have stopped. No one knows the age of the thief from behind. I am sure this doesn't make the cop feel good. Hash? I thought I heard of that yrs ago. The boy driving was also drunk. Luckily no one else was killed. I hate that someone lost their child for something so darn stupid. I pray the other kids learn a lesson . 

Working on this case for a sociological report an its so hard to see many of you say "where are the parents? How did they get weed and pills?" yet have any of you ever been to South Houston? or even yet in low income high schools? Getting weed and pills are easier obtained in schools than anywhere else, in this case those kids most likely got it form a neighbor since all of SH sell drugs in every corner. Second, you wonder why there was not enough parental supervision, common y'all like someone stated before this happened in the hood not in kingswood where you get to see your kids after they get out from school. The parents both work minimum wage jobs to barely get by because although they pay their taxes and have been in the country for 20 years our immigration system will not give them a working permit to get better jobs. So where do you all even think the parents were at? Lastly things happen and a family's economy really affects the way a kid is brought up because even if the parents tried to give parental guidance there is far more factors that bring "hood" kids to make poor decisions. Just in the SW side of Houston they have caught 3 teachers sleeping with students and one teacher smuggling drugs to Louisiana, yet a persecutor in the court of law wants to ask a gangster why he never joined boys scouts.. give me a break ,think before judging. 

publius92, since you seem to know so much about this sort of activity and this case in particular, I ask WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT? Other than writing a report, which does NOTHING? It is up to the who live in these areas to teach their children good morals, good work ethic and NOT TO STEAL CARS! No one but these thugs and their parents is at fault. The responsibility lies in the very communities where these kids live. Go lay your blame somewhere else. Become a policeman, counselor a teacher or some other upstanding person that can make a difference for those involved, don't sit there and wait for someone to rescue you and them. It is not gonna happen and it shouldn't. Why would that spend their days and nights in endless effort trying to keep up with their own homes and families owe it to others to try to undo the mess they themselves have created? Think really carefully and then answer this question.

BTW, you are really stretching by dragging this two year old thread up from the depths! Has nothing else bad happened over there in the last two years or what? 

Hey Publius: Yup, all those things occur with regularity. People have done what they do for a very long time.

Am I hearing excuses for behaviors that are not acceptable? Every day people also don?t steal, don?t do the drug thing, get up and go to a job that doesn?t pay squat. Am I hearing an excuse?

I was born in a house without electricity and running water. Does that mean that we didn't bathe? We had little money. Does that mean that it was OK to steal what others had?

My father was a share cropper, not educated above primary level. Does that mean that when he signed a document, he didn?t have to abide by its contents? Does that lessen my obligation to learn, to work, to (perish the thought) conform to a standard of behavior and work ethic that would provide better for my family?

I?m hearing excuses, Publius. I would like to hear ?I?m getting myself educated in order to take my rightful place as a productive member of society.? Blaming (or trying to blame) others for my behavior is absurd. I am responsible for my behavior, nobody else. 

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! 

"None of the boys was wearing his seatbelt." 

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! 

"He made a lot of mistakes, but he was a good person,"

Stealing a truck and running from the cops is NOT a mistake. Drunk and high 13 & 14 year olds? Great...lovely.

I would argue that the little criminal was far from a "good person" given his behavior. 

Moms aren’t supposed to bury their kids."

If "moms" would actually be parents, more than likely they wouldn't have to! 

Hmmmmmm. 

There are 13 and 14 year olds in Kingwood that drink and get high...this area may have less crime, but it does have a lot of drugs. Don't assume because this area has more money, means it has less drugs. This area probably has better drugs. Lots of Rx pills. 

We start 'em young around here.

 

Yeah parents...watch your kids...this stuff doesn't happen in KW. Our kids just commit armed robberies. Anyone remember the Queens? Open your eyes...youth crime is everywhere.

No doubt that kids from all walks of life get into trouble. And that is their parents and their own fault, not someone across town or in another neighborhood. If your kids are in trouble there is no one at fault, other than them and yourself. 

Teenagers do have minds of their own...their parents cannot control everything they do.

Teens with the best parents can make horrible decisions; while teens with the worst parents can make great decisions.

There are no absolutes in life....lots of gray area abounds. 

right, DP- I bet no one who has blamed the parents on this thread has had a wild teenager- especially single mothers, who have to work to pay the bills-
