Bobbsey Twins Gone Bad?

2008_12_11_Bobbsey.jpgIn a story that's sadly not as shocking as it should be, one (barely) teen and another child have been charged with assault after pointing a gun at a man. A 13-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy approached a pedestrian on the 1000 block of East 53rd Street in Hyde Park last night and, after a conversation, one of the children pointed a small, silver gun at the man and said, “I’ll just pop you right here." While details of how the children were apprehended is still unclear, police were involved, the children were charged with assault, and were turned over to the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center.
